Who wore it best? Dita Von Teese Vs. Penelope Cruz
By Sarah Karmali on Thursday 3 December 2009
It's no secret that celebs love Alexander McQueen's fashion forward designs, but when Dita Von Teese and Penelope Cruz both fell in love with the same dress, we couldn't decide: who wore it best?
Penelope Cruz was the first to step out in this ladylike houndstooth frock back in October, when she wore it to a New York press conference, promoting her latest film, Broken Embraces.
The Spanish senorita teamed the form-fitting frock with natural, tumbling tresses, towering courts and, rather bizarrely, a pair of sunglasses tucked into the top.
Fast forward a few weeks, and Dita Von Teese decided to follow in Miss Cruz's fashionable footsteps - wearing the same dress to a book signing in London.
The burlesque beauty added a black brooch to the collar of the dress, and styled it up with t-bar shoes, super- groomed hair and matching black nails.
So who do you think won in this mighty McQueen frock-off? Let us know in the comments box below!

I prefer Dita Von Teese - she seems to give it a better shape, and I prefer her choice of shoes and a brooch looks much better than the sunglasses.

The shape looks ever so slightly more flattering on Dita - perhaps Pen could have done with a smaller size.

Penelope looks stunning.

Oooh it's a tough one! I think Dita probably has a better shape for the dress, and I like her shoes better. But Penelope also looks lovely and has a nice healthy tan - Dita looks unaturally white!

Dita, Dita, always Dita!! She has such a womanly shape despite being so slim.
Comment by Lynsie on December 03 12:54
Both ladies look great, but this time my vote goes to Penelope Cruz - she looks both stylish and relaxed.
Comment by redberry on December 03 12:56
Definitely Dita. she makes the dress look stylish and up to date whereas on Pen it looks like a frumpy outfit
Comment by SANDRA on December 03 12:58
I prefer it on Dita - the dress suits her style better and looks great with the brooch.
Comment by caz on December 03 13:08
Dita - the dress fits her better.
Comment by Jade on December 03 13:11
This is the toughest one yet! I think it's even stevens, they both wear the dress in their own way and look equally gorgeous. A first for 'who wore it best' I think! Keep them coming I love this feature!

Dita wins hands down. Penelope looks like an extra from Dynasty!
Comment by Snafflepuss on December 03 13:15
It's a tough one, but I'd say Dita because it suits her whole retro style better.
Comment by Frida on December 03 13:21
I think Penelope is gorgeous, but Dita just smashes every outfit...There's no beating her!
Comment by Sophia on December 03 13:32
There is no shadow of a doubt that Dita rocks anything she wears and looks stunning.
Comment by Phil on December 03 13:52
Dita!and sorry Emily,but Dita is naturally pale (and never will be a fan of any kind of tan) and Pen is naturally dark!
Comment by Eva on December 03 14:10
Definitley Dita...always pure chic and glass. She knows how to dress.
Comment by Looby Lou on December 03 14:42
Dita always looks fabulous and she is certainly working that look. Penelope looks so natural in comparison though. Pose v. Poise.
Comment by Fiona on December 03 14:45
Both are beautiful women but this time it's gotta be Dita - her choice of shoes and the extra touch with the brooch make the whole look classier.
Comment by Sara on December 03 15:54
I agree. The black and white seem to suit Dita's colouring much better than Penelope's. I don't think it really goes well with a tan. Anyway that is only my opinion.... They are both stunning and it seems harsh to be critical of either.

DITA DITA DITA!!!! She's a knockout-could make a rag look glamourous!
Comment by victoria price on December 03 19:08
Penelope, she looks so much more relaxed. Dita looks like she tries too hard. And she no doubt has a corset underneath, the only reason why her shape looks better
