Chanel SS12 face-off: Lily Donaldson vs. Jessica Biel
TFS, JustJared
I'm a complete sucker for these silly things, you will have noticed by now. I love commenting on how different people wear the same dress, even if it's completely irrelevant.
Lily Donaldson covers the July issue of Vogue Russia in the same Chanel dress Jessica Biel wore to the MTV Movie Awards about two weeks ago. This number for the SS12 collection is a bit of a tricky one because of the volume and length of the sleeves, which can look boxy.
I'm not sure about Lily's hair, although it does work on the cover, but Biel made the same mistake. She would have looked a lot better with her hair up – it usually works better with long-sleeve, closed-neck dresses – and she should have gone for a strappy sky-high sandal or stiletto. Her Barbara Bui shoes added a nice colour but the ankle strap cuts off her leg making her look shorter.
It's a shame because I love the scalloped effect that the texture of the knit dress creates. Kate Bosworth would have rocked the hell of out this piece!
