It was a battle of the Spices when VB and Mel C donned the same floor-length frock. But who wore it best?

It's a Spice-off! Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm have both been snapped in this same bold-shoulder creation - which coincidentally was designed by VB's fair hand. But, we want to know who you think rocked the frock best...

When Victoria Beckham designs a dress, she naturally likes to give it its first public airing. Then, she lends it to all her A-list pals.

La Beckham had us all oohing and ahhing when she donned this floorsweeper of a frock over a year ago, to Elton John's Oscars party in February 2009.

Hot off the runway from her second ever dress collection, VB teamed the dramatic dress with her cute pixie crop, a dazzling emerald statement ring and one super-polished pose.

She even had the train of her dress arranged into an immaculate circular pool around her feet. What a pro.

Then, over a year later, and Mel C decided to borrow a Posh frock from her former bandmate for an appearance at the Laurence Olivier Awards in London last night

She's never been a regular red carpet face, but Mel worked it well, donning her dress with a slicked-back 'do, heavily-kohled eyes and vampish black nails.

Shame she didn't have the same team of assistants on hand to arrange the train of her dress though, which was more of a puddle than a pool...
