Model does it best @ 06/21/2007 at 4:03 am

Katie’s face is cuter, but she needs a bra and her legs look all wrong, their to thick or weird looking.
The model wears this dress better and I like the dress in the color she’s wearing.
Model definitely.

just me saying @ 06/21/2007 at 4:33 am

model..coz katie’s posture ruins the dress. though Katie has a sunnier personality in the pic. but that’s not fair to the model since she’s actually in the catwalk.

model of course!

The model.

Model! KT looks like she’s just come out of the shower with hair dripping of water and put on the wrong dress, I’m not impressed!

ImpeachBush @ 06/21/2007 at 5:03 am

Katie’s legs/calves are too thick.
Short hair ages her 10 years.

Model.

MODEL!!!

Much as I love Katie Holmes, I think the dress is unflattering on her - it’s too frumpy at the top and her legs are ‘wide’ and that cut emphasisies that, it just doesnt suit her, so I go with the Runway model.

The MODEL!

The model b/c the color goes better with her skin tone and her sillouette looks way better than Katie. She looks frumpy in that dress.

its so difficult to say who looks better.
the model is obviously, at a runway hence, a better shot.
whereas, katie is just chilling and looking lovely/ fun. but seriously, her posture is bad bad bad! she looks frumpy (boobs), there’s something wrong with her legs (too thick) and her hair (agree with someone above, makes her look old)
so ultimately…the model

Angelina I´m so with you and your beautiful comment !!!

Katie Holmes.

Model - Katie’s calves do not go well with this dress. Not to mention the boobs - awful.

But to be honest Katie’s face is much prettier than the model’s - so she still wins.

I’ve read previous comments on posts regarding how fabulous Katie’s legs are - finally I see people saying what I’ve thougtht all along - her legs look “thick” in proportion to the rest of her. Overall she has lost lots of weight, but she is naturally a big-boned gal, and her legs seem thicker than the rest of her body. Model looks better.

THE MODEL. THAT WAS A HARD ONE.
Katie looks really frumpy here. What happened to her boobs. Not a good look for her.

===========================================

yeah, was thinking the same thing…

Katie all the way…she gave the dress personality, vibrance, life…

mamafreak @ 06/21/2007 at 8:47 am

tom ages her 10+ years. what was with the dress from the wedding - nicole kidman is 40 and would have never worn such a thing! she dresses way TOO old. but maybe it’s to match her grandma legs.

It looks like Katie went bra-less, and that ruined the shape.

Aside from badly needing a stylist that knows how to flatter Katie’s body…she needs to wear her clothes rather than let her clothes wear her.

pr person @ 06/21/2007 at 9:32 am

MODEL!!

cheekymonkey @ 06/21/2007 at 9:49 am

she’s always had saggy boobs but her legs really look massive…

The model. Holmes body does not fit the dress. Her calves are huge and oddly shaped.

Katie could use the very sexy VS bra, those puppies are hanging low!

Suri is just so yummy!

LOLOLOL!!! @ 06/21/2007 at 10:21 am

The model, but only because Katie neglected to find an undergarment that would ensure that the dress stays where it SHOULD stay…It’s too bad, too…because Katie is 100x prettier than the model..

Katie’s face by a long shot, she looks ALIVE and HAPPY! But the wet hair I still can’t figure out. But I am still insisting on her getting a stick on push-up bra! She would have rocked this dress if she would have worn a bra snd STOOD UP STRAIGHT! This is hitting her at very much the wrong spot on the legs, she just has big calves compared to her body. Heels would have helped a good bit.

julia weinstein @ 06/21/2007 at 11:34 am

The model wore it best. Kate is pretty but her legs are huge and she is grossly pale.

The model. Agree with everyone - KH’s boobs sag in this dress and makes her legs look chunky.

Iekeline for sure.
Katie Holmes is just so non-stylish at all.
But i think those dresses are diferente anyway..

Katie Holmes!

Is this even the same dress? The way they each wore it, they could be completely different. It doesn’t fit Katie well and is unflattering on her.

The MODEL, hands down!

I am sorry because i have nothing against KH but, the color doesn’t suit her she is too white for that, not to mention the black shoes, I am sorry but she didn’t make anything new on tat look neither fresh or summer, not to mention the shape as I agree with all of you but that is not her fault, her fault is to choose a dress that doesn’t suit her at all.
An d yes, we do can talk about it as she is the first person after VB to dress in case the media is there so this look has been previously studied although wrong, from my point of view.

When stars are so damn rich I expect them to dress better than models when they are photographed for us by the paps.

There is so much wrong with this woman’s looks in this dress 1. Calves are too big 2. boobs are hanging 3. Poor posture.

We, as the audience expect more class and taste!!

Ugg!!

I wish the Trolls would stop hating on Katie, cause she’s not a stick figure.

Model

KH bust line and legs looks awful. She has a very strange body. Her legs are so big and her top is so small that it’s like she’s straight up and down with no real definition. If fact, I think the width of her legs is more than the width of her upper body. Also, that length hair makes her look like the 40 yo she’s become.

Its ugly no matter who wears it.

The model’s dress has a structured square nech and some double-stick tape action to keep it in place-It looks so much better. Sorry to say that I agree-Katie looks frumpy. Her figure looked much better in the Missoni-esque mini skirt.

Model.

Katie’s body shape is not good in this dress.

Iekeliene Stange. I love her qukeryness

Katie definitely has log-legs…they look like tree trunks. Totally out of proportion to the rest of her thin bod…she needs to stay out of the mini-skirts and short dresses.

Mrs. Fugly @ 06/21/2007 at 8:28 pm

Of course, hands down kick you’re ass the, runway model! I do prefer the purple color.

I hate druggie looks so Katie is my pick.

Love Katie’s style and how she looks.

The model looks like a zombie.

Katie easily wins this one.

Im shaking the hands of Katie Holmes!!!!

Roswellian @ 06/21/2007 at 11:21 pm

Keep rockin’ Kate====

The model looks like sporting a Halloween costume. Much prefer Katie Holmes.

Hmm..well I’d say that the upper half of katie’s body pretty much ruined that dress. Something needs to be done there, and for the upper half the model wins. But i think that the models legs look a little sickly..so katie wins for lower half.

bruisedlee @ 06/24/2007 at 1:27 pm

IEKELIENE STANGE!
She’s the best!

Model definitely. katie is hideous

I don’t think that it’s fair to compare the two pictures. The dress the model is wearing has a square,halter-like neck, whereas the one Katie is wearing has a scoop neck. If Katie was wearing a bra that would help too,but those dresses are not the same anyway. The other reason KH’s legs look thicker is because she is wearing flats and the model is in heels.

rjfairchild @ 12/20/2007 at 6:36 pm

That’s a stupid question ! The model is way hotter than KH.
