Fashion Faceoff: Thakoon Dress

Curvy chick America Ferrera wore Thakoon’s sandwashed silk orchid dress from its Spring 2007 collection at “An Evening with Ugly Betty” presented by The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences at The Leonard Goldenson Theater in North Hollywood on Monday. She finished off her look with Jimmy Choo shoes and jewelry from Martin Katz.

To the right, supermodel Lesly Masson.

“I think it’s hilarious when people call Jessica Alba or Eva Longoria curvy,” America has said. “Come on. They’re not curvy; they’re small. I’m curvy.”

Who wears it best — AMERICA FERRERA or THE RUNWAY MODEL?

To #19 - Nando

America Ferrera is not Mexican. She was born in California and is of Honduran descent. Her parents were born in Honduras (Cental America). I get pissed when people automatically assume that a Latin looking person or someone with a Latin name is automatically Mexican. I’m not Mexican or Honduran, but Puerto Rican and I cringe every time I hear that assumption. Nando #19 and anybody else who thinks like you: There are 20 Spanish speaking countries, look it up.

BTW - America is freaking beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!

How can so many people say America? This isn’t even a question worth asking. Of course the model looks better. America looks like a blob. I don’t understand why people are trying so hard to promote being fat. It’s not pretty, people. Not at all.

America doesnt look like a blob, I think she looks 10x better than that model. That dress just doesnt suit the model at all and America makes it flattering :) . Plus her hair looks good too~

america looks WAAAY better :) shes glowing, unlike the model who is dull. Though, i dont think its the same dress.. looks a TAD different :-/

Please, the model wears it better. It looks like curtains on America, but couture on the model.

Lesly EASILY

She’s right. Jessica is not curvy anymore. She used to be.

huh..? why everybody call that fat sack of grain beautiful.

absolutely the model. america.. she’s just to overweight.

no brainwashing going on here, thx
i just like seeing my size 2 @ss staring back when i look in the mirror, that’s all

Not kidding.

I work in fashion, and…

America looks better in it. Wrong choice of dress for Lesly.

Well, R, I enjoy being a size 4, but c’mon, that model looks like she’s going to keel over and die. Anorexia, anyone? She’s just washed out and drab.

It looks on the Model. I don’t think the dress is very flattering on America. I’ve seen her wear better.

Anyone who calls America Ferrera a fat blob is in desperate need of a reality check.

It look much better on America

Looks like an ugly 80s sunday school dress

That dress looks 1000000000 times better on America than that stick-thin model….. it looks like a fancy potato sack on the model

everyone saying America is fat needs to go to therapy…. you anorexic ***** make me sick.

Although both ladies look fine in the dress, it is obvious that America wears it so much better.

Also, FYI America is not Mexican. :) She is Honduran. :)

They both look nice. America looks happier, that’s for sure. I love how different body types can be beautiful in different ways!

America looks just stunning in that dress…and the other one…THAT is supposed to be a supermodel??? U gotta be kidding me.any strong moves and that dress is gonna slip off that hangar of a model…lol!!! They could’ve shown the dress in a hangar and it would still be the same. You can’t even see the shape of the dress and I’m 100% sure that more than 90% of those who’s gonna wear that dress would be much more healthier than this hangar!!!
