Fashion Faceoff: Ungaro Dress

Kristen Bell sparkled in her red Emanuel Ungaro dress at the preview fashion show for the French fashion brand in Beverly Hills back in March. The Veronica Mars actress finished off her look with a pair of red pumps and clutch.

Catherine Zeta-Jones wore the same red spangled-sequin starburst microdress to the premiere of No Reservations in NYC last week. The Welsh actress finished off her look with strappy black shoes, minimal bling and a black handbag.

Who wore it best — KRISTEN BELL or CATHERINE ZETA-JONES?

Kristin looked better in the dress. It suits her.

neither… it’s not a great dress.

I vote Catherine. She looks voluptuous, whereas the dress just hangs limply from Kristen’s body.

Kristen Bell looks stunning!!

catherine! she is sooo pretty. kristen is blah.

Kristen Bell! no doubt!!

Kristen! She looks gorgeous! :-)

Catherine.She is suntanned and it makes it look better at her.

Catherine to too old to wear a mini dress. You can tell she hemmed it up even shorter and didn’t get it professionally pressed.

Awful awful dress! It’s like a red glittery potato sack!!

This dress gives Kristin super wide hips and Zeta’s too short dress does not flatter her chicken legs.

Kristen looks great. Red shoes and purse make it all about the dress. The other woman has on too much jewelry with a sparkly dress.

Gotta go with neither - that’s a really hard shape to wear and neither of them have the right body shape.

Kristen!

It’s better for Kristen’s shape, but is she wearing pantyhose? My grandmother would approve of the “nylons”, but it is certainly not a great look for her.

Kristen because it flatters her form, while on Cathy it doesn’t flatter her manly form, it looks like a potato sack.

Kristen.

Only b/c it hangs on Kristen better, whereas Catherine needs a dress that can complement her beautiful curves instead of hanging like a sack. Love Catherine…gorgeous lady.

CATHERINE!! she fills the dress up better.

Kirsten the dress matches well with her skin and blond hair.

No one can compete with the gorgeous Catherine, even that dress can’t make kristen stand out.

DEFINATELY Kirsten…. suddenly Catherime looks as old as she’s been pretending to be for years.. it’s finally paid off..
The dress doesn’t sing to her… it’s way better on her younger rival.

Equally boring. Boring in different ways.

Oh! Kristen! You’re so beautiful!

Kristen. With her fair skin and blonde hair the red makes a striking contrast. Also, her red pumps look way better than the black strappy sandals Catherine wore. The dress itself is not that great, hard shape to wear, but looking at the two pictures side by side, Kristen’s is eye cathching whereas Catherines is just there.

Catherine is fierce in that dress - literally. Kristin looks like she is apologizing for being there in that dress. I like it better on Kristen, but Catherine does look pretty much like a maneater in that dress.

Kristen. Catherine’s fake chest just looks too . . . fake. And ditto about the chicken legs; she looks unbalanced.

Catherine all the way - Kristen has chubby legs…

Catherine-no question

Oh please, there is no question! CZJ all day long!

catherine. the dress on kristen looks baggy, she doesn’t have a figure at all.

That sack dress is awful, but definitely Catherine. Her figure just looks better in it, although that is a crappy picture of her.

That color looks bad with Kristen’s pale skin and the matching thing is so outdated. Plus it makes her look like she has no form.

Kristen is stunning, god i love her!!!!!!!!

Catherine - dress is shorter on her, so her gorgeous legs save the day. The dress is awful.

Kristen Bell, ofc. She looked amazing in it. You go girl!

Both but it looks a little better on kristen

Catherine wears it better but why would either one of them want to. Damn thing looks like a red potato sack.

CATHERINE ZETA-JONES

Catherine wore it better! ;)

neither look good

are you kidding.. ?
anybody who doesnt scream CATHERINE has to be kidding, she’s the most gorgeous woman alive, especially considering her age and that she’s a mom

You see I feel that way about Kristen. It is all a matter of opinion learn what that word means.

I think it looks better on Kristen. Though I think she can make anything look good.

I agree with Lara…it looks ’sloppy’ on Kristen…pale people can’t ‘carry’ the colour red off too well…and hay…who says Catherine’s to old to wear a mini dress…she looks a lot better than some of the younger girls half her age.
