Who wore it best? SJP Vs. Helena
By Lucy Hutchings on Thursday 22 April 2010
Nude hues are one of the hottest trends on the season, so it should come as no surprise that Stella McCartney's little lace dress has proved such a hit with the A-list - with both Sarah Jessica Parker and Helena Christensen snapping up the pretty mini.
But while the frock might be matching, each starlet gave the styling her own signature spin...
For SJP, at a New York party in March, this meant covering up her Stella style pick with a white boyfriend blazer, and accessorising with an a stack of chain necklaces.
She opted for black accents - with round-toe courts and a slouchy tote.
Helena rocked the dress at a charity dinner just this week, and let her frock do the talking, leaving extras minimal. Eschewing gems, she dabbled in the pink spectrum for both bag and shoes, choosing a soft coral chain-handle bag and raspberry ankle-strap heels.
Both ladies left their locks loose, and chose glowing make-up, with soft smokey eyes and a neutral lip.

Not a fan of Helena's shoes, and I think it looks great with the blazer - so SJP wins it hands down for me!

Def Helena... The blazer and all the necklaces hide the dress completely! Remember: Less is more.

SJP every time, i love the look with the blazer.
Comment by Ella on April 22 12:12
SJP hands down!!! stylish, effortless cool;-)

SJP wins, but is this even the same dress? The hemline, neckline and lace look different to me.....
Comment by Claire on April 22 12:34
I think SJP wore it best. However, I think her styling would look better on Helena's body and face. I don't like the look of SJP's legs and she's way too thin. x

SJP, definitely. Helena looks like mutton dressed as lamb. SJP makes the dress look more sophisticated.
Comment by Kirsty on April 22 12:43
SJP looks more pulled together definitely. Love Helena's shoes though!
Comment by Sara on April 22 13:11
I agree with Claire, they look like different dresses! SJP looks better though, she's so stylish.
Comment by Helen on April 22 13:34
SJP wins with the jacket and accessories, but I agree with Claire - it's not the same dress.
Comment by Anett on April 22 13:45
It's gotta be SJP for me too! But I have to agree, the dress looks different to me too...
Comment by Babs on April 22 13:45
SJP definitely as both ladies roughly the same age, dress too young looking on Helena
Comment by Joanne on April 22 15:34
SJP has horrible knees, she should not be wearing minis at all! She has accessoriesd too much and they hide the dress completely! Helena wins this round (although not too keen on the shoes!)
Comment by Maggie on April 22 17:03
Well spotted that its not the same dress Claire, bless you, I wouldnt have even noticed those little details if you hadnt of pointed them out. Personally I think this one is too close to call and would say its 50/50.

Helena looks fantastic, but SJP wins on the outfit front 'cuz of her accessorising skills!
Comment by Vanity Rocks on April 23 08:16
Well ..as I seem to say a lot with these double jobs...They both look great..different takes on the dress ...which given that it does look slightly different...still almost identical..again looks very pretty ...the jacket doesnt make it any less delicate but the
shoes on both are way wrong..too heavy in black and red is not good...especially with that nude bag...dont really care for the 'sack' SJP is hanging onto ..but who am I to say...knees...veiny feet in both cases ..well its all down to excercise and exertion once again overdone I reckon..what say anyone else out there.
