    Jaime and Claire played a game of style snap when they wore the same flowing McQueen gown - a whopping six years apart!

    Jaime Winstone and Claire Danes put their style on trial when they donned the very same floor-sweeping Alexander McQueen frock. But, who wore it best?

    We're used to seeing stars don the same outfits within a mere matter of months, but believe it or not, these two Alexander McQueen gowns were given their red carpet outings an incredible six years apart.

    Claire Danes was first to debut the British designer's dress, when she wore it to the Costume Institute gala way back in April 2004.

    The blonde beauty teamed her nude-hued gown with a softly curled updo, delicate droplet earrings, fresh-faced make-up and a simple gold clutch.

    Then, just this weekend, the gorgeous gown made its second high-profile appearance.

    Understandably, there's been a lot of McQueen on the red carpet of late, so it was no surprise to see Jaime Winstone donning the frock to the BAFTAs on Sunday.

    The starlet let the dress do all the talking, and simply teamed the elegant creation with a Marilyn Monroe 'do and a ruby red pout.

    Two stars, one designer dress, six years apart. But we want to know who YOU think wore it best. Leave your comments in the box below!
