Victoria Beckham and Bar Rafaeli had a matching moment, when they both stepped out in the same Roberto Cavalli dress - a whopping four years apart.

When stars are spotted wearing the same dress, the sightings are usually a mere matter of weeks, or maybe months apart - but in the case of this style snap, there's a slightly larger time difference between the two...

Victoria Beckham was first to debut the opulent high-neck gown, to the BAMBI Awards in Germany way back in 2006.

The stylista teamed her standout frock with strappy black sandals, that much-copied 'Pob' (remember the Posh Bob?) hairstyle, and her familiar practiced hand-on-hip pose.

Four years later, and the black-and-gold gown was given it's second high-profile appearance, when Bar Rafaeli donned it to the Roberto Cavalli 40th Anniversary party in Paris.

The model left her lace-insert dress to do all the talking, styling it with nothing but a softly swept updo and barely-there make-up.

Two fashionistas, one scene-stealing frock. But who gets your vote in the style stakes? Let us know in the comments box below!

As much as I love VB, I think Bar makes the dress look that little bit more classic and romantic, so she wins for me.

Bar definitely wins!

Bar def gets it in this one...aside from having a slightly fuller figure which compliments the dress, i also like that i can't see what shoes she's wearing, no doubt it'll be something nice and sparkly.

Def Bar. She looks so much softer in the outfit, sorry but Victoria looks so hard compared to Bar.

Personally I do not think you can put a pin between them, way too close to call, they seem on a par in their own individual ways to me.

Victoria looks like a head on a stick. Dress looks much better on someone with curves.

Victoria FTW! ;)

posh looks great!
Comment by steph on September 30 19:38

personally I think the dress is AWFUL! It doesn't do either of the any favors. Bar win if I had to choose as Victoria's head looks like it's superimposed on the photo. The high neck just doesn't suit her

I think the oriental style works best with paler skin - maybe Posh would do it differently 4 years on but Bar looks best in this comparison.
