Fashion Face Off: Who wore it better?

Sometime stars too get their style plagiarized or maybe stylish minds just think alike? Today’s fashion face off battle is between the newly single Katie Holmes and The Devil’s Wear Prada hottie Anne Hathaway.

The blue Madewell dress looks casual and chic, but like they say it’s not what you wear but how you wear it.

Both Hathaway and Holmes got a few hits and misses there. While Anne wore the dress on a day out with boyfriend Adam Shulman, Katie chose the blue number to walk Suri to her gymnastic class.
I think the only thing that stands out in Anne’s ensemble is the black boot, which considering the season and look of the dress, does nothing to complement the look. The silver necklace and shades blended in with the rest of the look and the sling pouch added a hint of contrast to the bland overall look.

However, what really worked in Anne’s favor was her recent pixie cut. The new tom boyish look really accentuated her features and gave her an altogether new look. Thumbs up for the hairdo, but overall the entire look would be 3.5 out of 5.

Katie, on the other hand gets brownie points for adding the brown leather belt. The hint of accessory takes the monotone and provides a bit of color to the otherwise plain blue dress. Besides, this also gives her a more fitting look and the dress comes out as A-line rather than a straight cut.

Apart from the belt, the brown bag and golden cuffs make for a nice color contrast and her choice of green ballerina shoes gave a more casual and summer feel. As opposed to Anne’s silver neck-piece, we do not have to strain our eyes to see Katie’s charm necklace. The pulled back ponytail is a bit mundane but goes well with the casual appeal.

Hits and Misses

Anne’s look is monotonous with only the hint of black in the form of her black boots, while Katie’s touch of brown and green got rid of the uniformity

The pulled back ponytail complements the dress, but I absolutely love Anne’s pixie look and so no prizes for guessing who won this round.

The leather belt, charm necklace and cuffs added the much needed hint of accessories, while Anne’s choice of a sling pouch did help, her silver necklace did nothing to add to the overall look.

Winter seems to have come a bit early for Anne. Her black boots look out of sorts with the dress (however, she wore the dress again on a regular day out, where she teamed it up with white keds and a sun hat, a much better option). Katie’s choice of green ballerina shoes seems perfect for both adding colors to the look and on the comfort factor.

Overall, even though Anne Hathaway looks every inch stylish that she is, in this face off Katie Holmes gets the look right. On a scale of 5, I think Katie deserves a 4.5
