Who wore it best? Dita vs Keira
Rex Features/PA Photos
Alexis Mabille's autumn/winter '09 cobalt couture gown has received two serious star outings in the last year - first spotted on the lovely Keira Knightley, and then again on Dita Von Teese, last week at the Cannes Film festival.
The red carpet re-run got its debut as Ms Knightley stepped out at the London premiere of The Duchess in September 2008.
She teamed the dress with black patent Moschino courts, a side-swept up 'do and glowing natural make-up, ensuring she blew the crowds away.
Upping the considerable Cannes couture count, Von Teese gave the gown its second star outing as she partied at Dsquared²'s Cannes store opening.

Like Keira, she opted for a bare neckline, letting the lacy detailing provide the drama, and added black patent heels. Making the style her own, she added her signature pops of ruby red – a scarlet pout and matching nails.
Now the question is - both stars may look seriously stylish, but who wore it best? Let us know your verdict in the comments box below.

Keira definitely. Dita's shoes merge with the dress and detract from the hem effect.
Comment by K.S. on May 26 13:03
Dita Von Teese definitely .

Keira better shoes make up everything,pale and interesting Dita is old hat..
Comment by andi73 on May 26 13:21
Definitely Keira. Shorter length, chunky heel, simple makeup = Much better!
Comment by LauraK on May 26 13:37
Definitely Dita! The dress is a better shade of blue and I prefer the black netting to Keira's blue. Plus, Dita's dainty shoes and red lip stick work much better with the style of dress. Nobody suits netting and lace more than Dita!

Dita has the figure for it - but take your hands out of your pockets!

Keira!

So badly Dita. Had I only seen Keira in this dress I would have thought yeah, she looks nice and all - if not a little girl next door'ish. But Dita just works this dress so much more and is effortless with it too! I hate the big clunky shoes Keira is wearing - they're like something I wore...when I was 8! Plus Dita doesn't have that stupid posey pout that Keira insists on doing at every event - as her face actually looks like that when not in front of a still lense. Rubbish! I saw her once at an event and she stood there like that for about 4 minutes whilst the pictures were taken - then relaxed her face after - can you imagine how silly she looked??!

Dita Von Teese beyond doubt!!! She has style and she has grace. She is undeniably classy and could carry off a black binliner
Comment by Vanessa on May 26 15:50
Dita is a lot thinner than I realised....
Comment by Grace Dalton on May 26 15:55
Keira for sure.
Comment by Aileen ^ on May 26 17:33
Keira wears it better. she has the right figure for it,she looks very summery in it
Comment by B.H on May 26 17:45
Dita definitely wears it better, she has an elegant in proportion figure, which in this case compliments this dress
Comment by sam on May 26 17:58
kiera. something about the longer legs and flatter chest work better with this dress.
Comment by Sundal on May 26 20:23
Keira wore it much better. It flatters her shape and skin colour and she has the right hair, make-up and shoes for this dress.
Ditta is much to pale to wear such a strong colour. I usually love Ditta's choices, but I think this dress is not for her, because it doesn't really play up her assets.
Comment by Jennifer on May 26 20:26
I prefer the length of Dita's, but Keira still wins this by a mile - her accessories, hair and make-up are perfection. Dita's styling makes an already fussy dress too much.
Comment by Elly on May 26 21:06
Definitely Keira. Better shade of blue, and she kept the rest of the styling simple so as not to detract from or clash with the dress. Dita's dress is too long for her, especially with ankle strap shoes which make her look more dinky.
Comment by Sweetpea on May 27 11:12
I never thought I'd say this, but Keira is definitely rocking the dress better than Deeta! Ok, I need to wash my mouth out now!! It's just something about the shoes, and maybe cos she's taller. Whatever it is, it works anyway!!
