Fashion Faceoff: Atelier Versace Dress

Charlize Theron was picture perfect in her beaded Atelier Versace column gown with spiderweb-effect at the Venice Film Festival. The 33-year-old Oscar-winning actress finished off her look with sparkling Bulgari diamonds.

Britney Spears was the picture of glamour in her shortened version of the same Atelier Versace dress at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. The 26-year-old comeback pop princess finished off her look with H. Stern jewels and Versace shoes.

Who wore it best — CHARLIZE THERON or BRITNEY SPEARS?

Both beautiful dresses….

Britney is an absolute young (bright) star in her short dress!!! Charlize looks so elegant in her long gown!

Congratulations to Britney for permitting herself to recover through the aid of her father (after too many unstable changes in her life beginning around the time she met the father of her sons). May she regain custody of her children!

CAN SOMEONE KEEP BRITNEY LOOKING LIKE THIS EVERY DAY??
NO MORE WHITE TRASH MAKE-UP WITH HOT PINK LIPS AND RED LIPSTICK, GREASY HAIR, OR SLOPPY CHEAP CLOTHES!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS SHE LOOKS BACK TO NORMAL. YOU WOULD NEVER GUESS ALL THE TERRIBLE TURMOIL SHE WENT THROUGH!! I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE DIAGNOSED HER WITH POST PARTUM AND TREATED HER WITH THE RIGHT MEDS FOR IT SOONER! SHE SELF MEDICATED HERSELF IN BOOZE AND ILLEGAL DRUGS TO TRY AND COPE! I WISH HER WELL!!!
