Who wore it best? Madonna Vs. Hayden
Rex Features
There may be 30 years between them, but Hayden Panettiere and Madonna clearly share a taste for daring fashion.
Despite the three-decade age difference, both stepped out in Caroline Seikaly's sheer lace dress - with Hayden opting to the short sleeve version and Madonna the long - although both added their own signature spin on the styling.
Giving the design its red carpet debut, Heroes starlet Hayden dared to bare back in June, for an appearance on The David Letterman show.
Letting her statement style do the talking, the actress eschewed accessories, save for vertiginous strappy sandals. A gorgeous glowing tan and pretty piled up 'do were the perfect finishing touches.
Three months later, the Material Girl - typically a fan of flesh-flashing fashion - uncharacteristically covered-up, layering a leather jacket over her lace number for the Marc Jacobs spring/summer 10 show.
Always one to add an on-trend touch, the 50-something fashionista tapped the hottest shoe look of the season - thigh-high over-the-knee boots.
So there you have it style fans - one dress, two very different looks. But who wore it best? Let us know your verdict in the comments box below.

Oh my god Madonna looks appalling!
Comment by Suz on September 24 12:20
Hayden looks gorgeous, Madonna looks old and really I think she should reconsider her choices. Saying that, she is amazing and does have a fab body but needs to realise she's not 21.
Comment by Kath on September 24 12:45
Mutton dressed as ....!
Comment by Kiki on September 24 12:51
No question...Hayden looks amazing whilst Madonna looks like a rich prostitute. I love Madonna but really? ...
Comment by Kitty on September 24 12:56
madonna looks great..not appalling ..thats ridiculous..love her boots and she looks so fresh..
Comment by tara on September 24 13:07
Hayden looks georgous - Madonna look so trashy
Comment by DIANE CRANEY on September 24 13:11
Madonna's big orange knickers and pasty sinewy legs are nasty, so I have to say definitely Hayden, even with the pale pink g-sting straps!
Comment by Em on September 24 13:12
hayden without a doubt! what was maddonna thinking!!!!
Comment by sj on September 24 13:14
Mutton and Lamb come to mind!
Comment by Eve on September 24 13:22
The dress is so busy that everything else needs to be simple. Madonna looks overloaded
Comment by Lynsie on September 24 13:26
I applaud Madonna's dedication to staying healthy but her attempts at looking 35 are undermined by her repeated 'Mutton dressed as lamb' fashion faux pas's.
Comment by doodle on September 24 13:28
Madonna looks like mutton dressed as lamb. Its dire on her. Hayden wins hands down, its a dress for the younger generation!
Comment by NAOMI CLEARY GRAHAM on September 24 13:29
Madonna is mutton dressed as lamb in stark comparison to Hayden.When will this talented lady age a little more gracefully?
Comment by Marie on September 24 13:32
Madonna should really start covering up - for a woman her age!!! she looks terrible
Comment by P on September 24 13:37
Madonna looks great!!
Comment by Sherry on September 24 13:48
So sad that Madonna wants to look like a 20 year old. Hayden looks stunning, fresh and sexy.
Comment by jax on September 24 13:52
I dont think its a nice dress any way but Hayden looks the nicest. the boots and that dress just looks tacky.
Comment by Aj on September 24 14:23
It looks like Madonna is wearing skin coloured pull in's too!! Bridget jones moment or what?! With all her money I think its time to invest in a good stylist!!
Comment by Claire on September 24 14:34
no it doesnt suit madonna but i like her boots. Hayden is gorgeous! her hair, her TAN!! and her shoes go lovely with that dress =)
Comment by Christiana on September 24 14:54
Hayden looks very glamourous, whereas Madonna looks pale old and wrinkly, definitely mutton!!
Comment by george on September 24 15:21
From the neck down Madonna looks so wrong..She doesn't need to try so hard, less is more please!(not less clothes though!)
Comment by SARAH on September 24 16:05
What on earth is Madonna wearing under the dress? surely not control pants?
Comment by Joanna on September 24 18:32
Madonna just keeps wearing that same jacket over and over again for the past 2 weeks.
Comment by cat on September 24 20:03
if you are going to wear a lace dress (not really) you have to have the guts to wear a thong or skimpy pants not big darker-than-your-own-skin skin colour culotte...
Comment by sarah on September 24 20:16
Hayden looks orange- fake tan. Madonna, however, looks gorgeous and younger than Hayden. Madonna looks HOT!
Comment by mike on September 24 22:07
Common, Madonna's way of wearing the dress is so much more interesting than the conventional hairstyle, shoes and tanning Hayden accessorized her dress with. Madonna takes risks, this is what I call style and originality. But I definitely understand those who don't like it!
Comment by sam on September 24 22:26
Madonna is a role model.
She's showing that age shouldn't matter.
She's being provocative by challenging the concept of being appropriate and she's got the body to do it!
It's a shame some can't appreciate it especially women!
Comment by lulu on September 25 00:46
hayden looks gorgeous in this. :)
Comment by Shirin on September 25 01:07
Madonna all the way the leather jkt and Stella Mcartney boots makes it funkier and fun and tone it down at the same time. Haydens strappy sandals are competing w the dress. too much going on
Comment by alberto rosales on September 25 02:14
I think Madonna looks great !
Comment by Mani MacMann on September 25 10:23
I think the dress is awful but I think Madonna pulls it off better than Hayden ... Hayden does not look hot in it now ... How will she look 30yrs time... ?
Comment by Amber Valletta on September 25 10:34
Absolutely no competition.
I don't know what Madonna was thinking, the boots with the dress are tacky and the jacket makes her look like she's just thrown on whatever was closest when popping out for a pint of milk. Not to mention she looks horribly old.
Comment by Jade on September 25 14:41
they both look great!
Comment by Susan on September 25 17:10
OMG its has got to be hayden with out a doubt. if madonna had taken tht damn jacket off the it would have looked so much better. Not as good as hayden still but better never the less
Comment by Nicola Davison on September 26 22:09
Prefer Haydens look - but I think Madonna is brave to go out looking like that!
