    Fashion Faceoff: Gwyneth Paltrow vs. Nicole Kidman

    By Raechal Leone Shewfelt | Runway – Wed, Nov 23, 2011 12:59 PM PST

    This should be interesting! Oscar-winning actresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Nicole Kidman, who both happen to be married to big name musicians, donned the same patterned one-shoulder Stella McCartney dress in two very different ways barely one week apart! Now while you probably won't be a big fan of the dress -- and trust me, you won't -- we still have to decide just who wore it best.

    Gwyneth, 39, showed off her gams in a thigh-grazing blue version of the frock while attending Coach's 70th Anniversary party in Beijing, China, on November 17. The "Glee" guest star matched her black heels and clutch to the black hemline on her dress, and let her straightened hair down.

    Nicole, 44, tried on the look at the 2011 BMI Country Music Awards in Nashville on November 9. The "Moulin Rouge" actress selected a red, floor-length version, which she accessorized with green earrings.

    Let's get this out of the way: This dress isn't the most flattering on either woman. Their closets must be filled with designer creations for the red carpet, so why did they both opt for this one? Sigh. But since they did, I give Gwyneth points for making her overall look more fun by choosing the frock in the right length for her body. Nicole, on the other hand, loses even more points for choosing a color that clashes with her hair. I'm going to call this one for Gwyneth. Do you agree?

      It doesn't matter who wears that dress at what length, it's still a terrible dress.

      Neither one looks great, but Gwyneth's bony knees look hideous.

      Nicole looks better. This odd dress shouldn't be short.

      Why on earth should we pay attention to the fashion opinion of someone who has no background in fashion? Until Yahoo! actually starts hiring bloggers with some EXPERTISE in the areas upon which they comment, said comments have all the validity of asking the opinion of any random 22 year old.

        The dress is the topic not the lips?

      I cant like either one. This is one UGLY dress. I wouldnt put it on my dog. So I vote for neither. Bad choice for both of them just for picking it.

      Is "none of the above" an option? Once was one time too many for this dress. There's no excuse for two.

      It's attempting to look innovating and hip, but it failed. The pattern is dated and the design is just hideous. Fashion fail.

      Gwyneth is a joke and her ridiculous version of the dress looks torn-up and messy. Nicole looks gorgeous and elegant (although I saw that she wore weird flats with this dress!). It is a really bad dress but Nicole wins completely!
