Which Marchesa Was Most Fab at the Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala?

FabSugar — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:50:22 -0800

Last week at the Music Unites Fall Masquerade Gala, Kerry Washington and Georgina Chapman wore pretty, poufy frocks from Georgina's coveted Marchesa line. Both dresses were white, but notice how the two styles varied in texture. Kerry's tulle embellishment and streamlined shape gave a more architectural appeal, while Georgina's feathered creation emoted flirty, flapper energy. Both beauties accessorized with sleek black clutches and matching pumps. This one's a toughie: do you prefer the designer or the celebrity?

Who Wore It Better? Cobalt Silk Marchesa Mini

It's stiff competition when it's between the model-like designer of the dress and an actual model. Alas, we must decide. Both beauties wore this cobalt strapless silk wool dress with draped bodice and kept everything to a minimum, to let the dress shine. Stunning earrings were adorned by both, as well as neutral pumps - though Jacquetta's sandals have a slight gold sheen. We don't witness Georgina's handbag, but Jacquetta's embellished gunmetal Marchesa clutch looks pretty cool. Who wore it best?

Leave it to Rihanna to bring on the drama. She's a standout in this black and white laser cutout gown by Marchesa. It's revealing, but not too much, and her white shoes add further contrast. Another winner for Rihanna?

Who Wore It Better? White, Feathery Marchesa

Camilla Belle and Katy Perry's styles couldn't be more different, but clearly the two have a shared love for white, feathery Marchesa. Camilla first wore this gorgeous piece from the Spring '10 line at an event in LA a couple weeks ago. She paired it with strappy black sandals and sparkly jewels. Then Katy sported the same fancy frock onstage at the 2009 MTV Europe Music Awards in Germany with a pair of sequined pumps. Both look like delicate swans, but who wore Marchesa better?

She went all out in a sequined Notte by Marchesa dress from the Fall '09 collection and tan Christian Louboutin peep-toes.

Who Wore It Better? Marchesa Red Rosette Dress

FabSugar — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 12:00:22 -0700

This one's a toughie considering both Lake Bell and Marchesa designer Georgina Chapman wore Marchesa's red rosette dress the same exact way. Their red satin shoes and pulled-back hair are the same, but Lake opted for a red snakesin clutch at the What Happens in Vegas UK premiere, while Georgina went with a glittery silver one at the 2008 CFDA Awards. Although Georgina designed the dress, I think Lake has more natural ability to pull off such a funky shoulder detail. Which lady in red do you think wore it better?

The ever-elegant Dita Von Teese attended the 2008 British Comedy Awards over the weekend. She hit the red carpet in a gorgeously feminine pink Marchesa dress with exaggerated hip detail. I think she looks very pretty in pink, but what do you think of her ensemble, do you love it or hate it?
