Who Wore The Flapper Fringe Dress Better?

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Who Wore It Better?</b></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #999999; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><b>Gucci Sping 2012 Flapper Dress</b></i></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The LACMA Arts & Film Gala was held this past weekend in Los Angeles, presented by <i>Gucci</i>.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> When</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> events are hosted by elite fashion brands, it's only natural that stars choose to wear outfits made by designer themselves. Three starlets did just that, picking out 20's inspired dresses from the same <i>Gucci</i> collection, in the same colours, all with an interrelated design, </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">proving that their taste in high-fashion dresses are very similar.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHKkd21VBjO8EjfJpGpTrckF_7eXNos_Z_uzbAsGXIQQe0WB1letWnIdl6foUZljO3vgvdaAauN59nHMmnbrwL8buONBhHutfVVKh_C1MFVGgDUP2VG3LgHQwuWstCrbkAo7Kewru2fngm/s1600/gala1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHKkd21VBjO8EjfJpGpTrckF_7eXNos_Z_uzbAsGXIQQe0WB1letWnIdl6foUZljO3vgvdaAauN59nHMmnbrwL8buONBhHutfVVKh_C1MFVGgDUP2VG3LgHQwuWstCrbkAo7Kewru2fngm/s640/gala1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Zoe Saldana</b> wore a cap-sleeved v-neck black dress with loosely fitting top, the skirt draped with gold thread tassels.  </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Camilla Belle</b> is no stranger to a glamorous <i>Gucci </i>dress. The actress wore a fringed dress with geometric design, hers differed with slots of white and wide striped straps.  </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Evan Rachel Wood</b> fit the part of a 20's screen queen in her knee-length version of the black and gold flapper dress, with higher v-neckline. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPEESyHTINfYv4_ttH4DantwmO7o32l-QstqjyigbN-Fo6oG3RN-Jft_8QlkzCVWlWig4d0yTka9nwGlERkJm3M0TcZ3FIsB3QQR-eOAn2iJcXuzBJDvw78fiHj2xSFEEjSQVBqmOBjExI/s1600/gucci.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPEESyHTINfYv4_ttH4DantwmO7o32l-QstqjyigbN-Fo6oG3RN-Jft_8QlkzCVWlWig4d0yTka9nwGlERkJm3M0TcZ3FIsB3QQR-eOAn2iJcXuzBJDvw78fiHj2xSFEEjSQVBqmOBjExI/s640/gucci.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Zoe</b> wore her hair up in a tousled style, showing off her gold Neil Lane earrings.

She wore pearl stud earrings and metallic silver eye makeup. </span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Evan's </b>wavy vintage hairstyle was in sync with her 20's style outfit. She accessorized with black drop earrings, smokey eyes and a cherry lip.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGuMhUHBRbmzcoWNx5O5ZBSfvU3ucYzXcHDi6qGcBkEkObNy1GOMYsPZLVgrfjN_wdX8NIs3X_9BoHQs3ANqCuQXIYrwZbeV01RdN_TrBxrUmr7wsTZ8IdN3cnCQTGGQXszhPr2AgF0I60/s1600/gucci+shoes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="192" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGuMhUHBRbmzcoWNx5O5ZBSfvU3ucYzXcHDi6qGcBkEkObNy1GOMYsPZLVgrfjN_wdX8NIs3X_9BoHQs3ANqCuQXIYrwZbeV01RdN_TrBxrUmr7wsTZ8IdN3cnCQTGGQXszhPr2AgF0I60/s640/gucci+shoes.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Zoey</b> wore black peep-toe heels with a double chain ankle strap and a gold heel.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Camilla's</b></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> strappy gold heels with thin metallic ankle strap are also by </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Gucci</i></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Evan Rachel</b> wore gold T-bar sandals, with chain detailing and double ankle strap.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I think these looks would have been equally pretty...if they were all not worn to the exact same event. Together on the red carpet, these three actresses look like part of a stylish Gucci-clad girl band, when each of them should in fact, stand out. As you may know by now, I'm a Camilla Belle style fan, so I'm choosing her flapper fringed look as my favourite. Also her dress wasn't as similar as the other two. Who is your pick?</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /><br /></span>
