MIRANDA KERR vs. ANGELINA JOLIE

MIRANDA KERR: dress and shoes by Louis Vuitton // ANGELINA JOLIE: jumpsuit by Elie Saab
In case their romantic dresses in neutral tones aren’t enough to envy, let’s remember that these ladies go home with Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt, respectively. Let’s judge them harshly, because they already have hot men and endless wardrobes.

MIRANDA KERR: dress by Peter Pilotto, purse by Calvin Klein, shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood // ANGELINA JOLIE: gown by Versace
Miranda is all kinds of modern in her geometric print and unique silhouette, but Angelina serves up old-fashioned glamour in high-slitted chocolate brown.

MIRANDA KERR: dress by Marchesa, shoes by Nicholas Kirkwood // ANGELINA JOLIE: gown and shoes by Atelier Versace, purse by Christian Louboutin
In Hollywood, white and ivory (and shoes to match) are always in season, as Ms. Kerr goes cropped in Marchesa and Ms. Jolie adds red accents in Versace.

MIRANDA KERR: gown by Michael Kors // ANGELINA JOLIE: gown by Jenny Packham
Both ladies can stun in a colorful gown, as proven on Miranda in pink and Angelina in orange.

MIRANDA KERR: gown and shoes by Michael Kors // ANGELINA JOLIE: gown by Michael Kors, purse by Jimmy Choo
And both share a love of high-slitted, side-cut-out, black Michael Kors gowns! (As does anyone who can afford one, I suppose.)

So, dear readers? Who’s the fabbest?

DIANE KRUGER vs. EMMA WATSON

Diane is dashing in a daring tuxedo-inspired suit and eye-catching accessories, but can she beat March Fabness 2011 Champion Emma Watson in an adorable plaid?

DIANE KRUGER: gown by Jason Wu // EMMA WATSON: top and skirt by Jason Wu, purse by Charlotte Olympia, shoes by Jimmy Choo
The actresses duel in Jason Wu and black ankle-strap sandals! Ms. Kruger chooses a long-sleeved but high-slitted gown, and Ms. Watson opts for a textured, ruffled blouse in ivory.

DIANE KRUGER: gown by Elie Saab // EMMA WATSON: dress by Elie Saab
This time, it’s a war of Elie Saab dresses and shiny satin platform peep-toes! Diane’s full-length option is stunning, but Emma’s cocktail version is equally compelling.

DIANE KRUGER: gown by Giambattista Valli, purse by Judith Leiber // EMMA WATSON: dress by Valentino, shoes by Christian Louboutin

Let it never be said that these two ladies wouldn’t take a fashion risk! Diane mixes prints, textures, sequins and ombre into one truly incredible Giambattista Valli gown. Emma goes ballerina chic in a simpler but no less dramatic Valentino dress.

Which is the winner?

MICHELLE WILLIAMS vs. FLORENCE WELCH

ZOE SALDANA vs. ELIZABETH OLSEN
