Fashion Faceoff: Atelier Versace Dress

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?

[☆I n F a m o u s☆] @ 09/08/2008 at 12:04 pm

i still cant believe this bish won 3 awards for absolutely nothing. lmbaoo

I think they both looked great.

Britney. She looks great

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!!!

CHARLIZE!!!!

V-fan-forever @ 09/08/2008 at 12:16 pm

Brit won 3 awards? OMG yayyyyy! I love her
But I love both kind of dresses, so I gotta say: BOTH

Charlize looked much better than Britney

4 EVER AND EVER BRIT !!!!!!!!!!!

Are you guys kidding ?

Charlize hands down ….. Britney looks great but she didn’t pull off that dress the way Charlize did !
Miss Theron was absolutly gorgeous in that dress !!!

It looks great on both! I’m just so happy for Britney!

Lovethatdoll @ 09/08/2008 at 12:40 pm

BOTH! They both look beautiful. I’m so proud of Britney, she looks healthy and happy. Good for her!!!

Charlize of course…

BRITNEY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!

Britney!!!!

CHARLIZE looks amazing in that dress. Wow, I love her.

But I am happy that Britney has chosen something very classy.

Charlize Theron looks better!!! She’s perfect!!! Charlize is very tall woman and I’m sure that she looks better in this shorter version too.

Can’t believe I’m saying this, but Britney, hands down! Charlize’s “look at me, I’m so hot” smugness simply can’t compete with B’s charming ear-to ear grin.

Charlize Charlize Charlize

Britney is trash,& she got 3 pity awards already.

definetly CHARLIZE

Lovesimpsonsis @ 09/08/2008 at 1:46 pm

They both looked great, but I have to say Britney. She is shining!

————dialectic——————-

I like your attitude.

Come and join the “Loonies”.

Britney !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Britney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

britney !! she’s gorgeous !!!

BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY BRITNEY

dat ***** britney won 3 ***** awards she didnt deserve ****

shay sjay @ 09/08/2008 at 2:52 pm

britt she is commin back and i am soo happy

Charlize looks like a goddess. Britney looks like the trash that she is. Brit just bleeds tacky all over that Versace.

britney definitely.
i’m so so proud of her.

They both look beautiful but my final vote is for Britney. I like the shorter more hip looking version of the dress.

Glad to see Britney looking very classy and cleaned up. Her dad stepping back into her life full time has been really good for her. At least she has one GOOD parent.

queenoftrashin @ 09/08/2008 at 3:09 pm

Oh, and you forgot her most IMPORTANT accessory…her large wad of gum!

BRITNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY SHE LOOKS GREAT!!!!!! SO BEAUTIFUL AND HER BODY IS AMAZING OMB!!!!!!!!!!!!! BUT CHARLIZE LOOK GREAT… BUT BRIT IS BRIT SHE IS THE QUEEN

BRİTNEY >>>CHARLİZE

ashlee_18 @ 09/08/2008 at 3:26 pm

BRITNEY!! she looked gorgeous!

BRİTNEY OBVİOUSLY!

Britney Spears was looking so great last nigt.
She is def. wore best dresses of VMA

Britney’s dress better than Charlize’s dress
Britney is the best!

BRITNEY SPEARS

and #6 Is A ****** ******!

I’m glad they gave her a few sympathy Moon Men. Poor ***** was nominated like 18 times in the past when she “had it together” and she wins them now while under conservatorship, loss of custody of her children, etc.

Kinda sends the message that if you work hard and keep your wits about you, you won’t win BUT if you’re wakadoo crazy and need your daddy to babysit you at 26 yrs old - we’ll give you THREE awards!

I loved her opening; however, I’m not quite sure what an ANNIVERSTARY is? ***** couldn’t even say 10 words w/o ******** it up and then opening her big ass mouth like “I did it ya’ll”… No wonder this talentless-***** lipsynchs, perhaps she should start doing that for just plain talking in the future!

Well i like the both ! They’re amazing !
I love them ! But i prefer the shorter version too
ZANESSA 4EVER ! ASHLEY S2 !

anonymous @ 09/08/2008 at 5:30 pm

BRITNEY!!! and whoever commented about zanessa and ashley is really stupid. especially since this is about britney and charlize not zanessa and ashley. and ASHLEY IS NOT A PIG! she’s really nice. ZANESSA 4 EVR!

Both look beautiful!

Actually Charlize looks the best.

Britney looks good but you can put a nice dress on a pig and she’ll look better. Lets see if Brit can keep up the decent behavoir and then give her credit. She has a long way to go to completely redeem herself. Let’s hope she can do it.

charlize of course @ 09/08/2008 at 6:06 pm

ARE you kidding me ? are you comparing the trash spears with the class theron ??

copay cat britney looks cheap, charlize of course it’s not even a question , trashy spears can’t even get close to charlize’s class and elegance here .

My god CHARLIZE hands down ! she is the grace kelly of nowadays .

britney all the way!

* Charlize *
Sorry but britney looks like a drag queen with this fake drag wig and shiny drag dress….she is definetly not from the same level of class of charlize.

Britney looked gorgeous. I loved her dress.

Charlize all the way ! charlize personifys the class and the glamour , how can we at first compared britney spears to charlize theron ?

Charlize all the way! charlize personifys the class and the glamour,how can we compare at first britney spears to charlize theron ?

Charlize Theron of course.

Is that a joke ? Lmao
Charlize f@cking Theron !! from head to toe.

Charlize. she looked edgy in that dress

Charlize; what a statuesque beauty,i turn lesb for you anyday charlize !

Britney so proud of you, you got your life back in order. your with your boys you look beautiful.. Keep up the good work!!!

I say Charlize ! gosh she is so elegant and so beautiful ,i love her bracelet as well, her beauty belongs with the actresses of the golden age ,her place is not with these low, fake, outrageous attention media whorses, it’s not even comparable

Charlize WHO? It’s BRITNEY, *****!

Charlize WHO? It’s BRITNEY, *****!

i pick the original magnificent dress from my fashionista girl charlize baby ! she is my fahsion icon i love her style , she always reinvents herself, she put it the first and now they are copying her .

Plz shitney ? lol i guess it’s a joke, btw what is she doing right now ? is she still visting the rehabs and the psychiatric hospitals ?

flo @ 09/08/2008 at 7:35 pm

i pick the original magnificent dress from my fashionista girl charlize baby ! she is my fahsion icon i love her style , she always reinvents herself, she put it the first and now they are copying her .

I agree, i also remember charlize’s diamond oscar dress 2004 who had been copyed by katherine heigl at the grammys.

WakeUpPeople @ 09/08/2008 at 7:57 pm

This was such a pity show for Britney! We all know she did NOT deserve those 3 awards!!! Shame on MTV!!! Even Perez Hilton said he voted for her because he feels sorry for her…Shame on MTV! The hsow should be banned in 2009!

Charlize is a goddess .She is stunningly beautiful in that dress.

Sorry britney, you can keep trying copying charlize all night long,you can’t get close you are too far to get close to her class,her beauty ,Nice try . Keep trying…

actually there both amazing looking. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Charlize [talented-private-classy-beauty queen] theron’s dress , the 1st one who wear it, i mean there is NO comparison with the copy-cat trash ho .

Britey.

They both look great, but Britey, as I love her dress more also.

The red carpet queen Charlize .

Both! Good job Britney!

Imaginaque @ 09/08/2008 at 11:11 pm

Seriously, you have to ask? Charlize all the way! Britney looks ******, no matter what she wears.

Charlize looks the best. She is like a queen - she has style, elegance. Very classy and beautiful lady.

I don’t like Britney’s style - she looks cheap and fake. Sorry.

Of Course Charlize!!!

there is nothing to compare
they look so different

Charlize :) She is so beautiful, elegant, stylish. Britney looks very cheap next to her :(

Charlize is the queen of red capter, of course charlize, from hair to toe.
Britney looks like charlize’s entourage…

without comparison. BRITNEY for sure. charlize looks dull and BORING and her hair looks bad. britney looks absolutley stunning and BEAUTIFUL. just admit it you haters out there!

Both look great…but I’ll have to pick Charlize!

Britney!!!!

This isn’t the shortened version of he same dress, it’s a different dress! And blondes shouldn’t be wearing this non-colour, it makes them look bland.
So, neither Charlize nor Britney, though Charlize would always win against Britney when it comes to looks.

Charlize ofcourse she is a classic classy beauty unlike Britney. Britney Spears is not and I think all the pity awards and sympathy comments are lame. Britney is not on the level of beauty of Charlize not even close.

Britney looks manly and like a drag queen and cheap and tacky, now Charlize Theron looks like a combination of Grace Kelly, Lana Turner and Ava Gardner. She is in that class not Britney. There’s just no comparison. She is class and beauty on a level that Britney could never be.

I think it’s lame how people are showing so much pity towards Britney just because she’s a self indulgent , bratty, drug addict trashy bad mother and you want to act like she ever was great. She was never a great talent people! People Charlize Theron has been through MUCh worse than Britney Spears. She saw people shot before her eyes when she was a little girl, her father was killed in self defense right in front of her when she was a kid, and look at her NOW! She made something of herself and she is one strong woman to carry herself so well and with some class and dignity unlike Spears. When you’ve been through the hell that she has bene through it makes the troubles these drug addict, attention seeking hollywood brats have like Britney Spears and LIndsay Lohan look so lame

.

I love them both to death..I think both are so amazing in what they do and they are such a major and fierce stars…
Charlize Theron is obviosly more elegant, and she looked glamurous and sophisticated in the venice film festivall,,,she glowed in her dress and she is simply stunning…
but on the other side,,britney looked fun, and beautiful and flirty in her custom made dress,,i think this was the dress for what i call “HER NIGHT”,, she looked fantastic and i am soooooooooo happy for her comeback,,, i cant wait for her to be the big star she was,,, I ADORE you britney!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! =)

Without comparison. Charlize for sure.

Omg how can we ask this, charlize without a doubt.

Definitely Britney!

Anyone who picks Britney over the lovely Charlize…go PUNCH YOURSELF IN THE FACE and get back into reality. Thank you.

BRITNEY OF COURSE!!!! SHE LOOKS INCREDIBLY AMAZING!! SO PERFECT UND GORGEOUS! theron by the way looks old and dull. BRITNEY FOREVER!!!! LOVE HER. I’m so happy for her.

Britney of course!

And I am so glad she won her well deserved Moonmans!!!
