Battle of the Marchesa: Hathaway vs. Alba

Battle of the Marchesa: Hathaway vs. Alba

February 25, 2008

by POPSUGAR Fashion 40

Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba both rolled up to the Oscars red carpet last night in similar Marchesa gowns. Both dresses had embellished bodices, jewel-tone colors, flowing fabric, and long trains. So what wins outright — scarlet or aubergine, rosettes or feathers? You decide!

I love Anne and her giant doe eyes. So what if she's a giant nerd. She's got great taste on duds

I love the color of Jessica's dress, but I liked the "shoulder" of Anne's dress better. The strapless version of Jessica's dress seemed too boring and low, despite the plumage.

Neither. I do love the color on Jessica, but I really dislike the dress.

Anne looked gorgeous. I would love that dress in ivory for my wedding!

I like Anne better, though Jess looks very glowing. The bold red color against her pale porcelain skin is gorgeous..!

Both girls look amazing, looks like with Marchesa you can do no wrong! I think I prefere Anne's dress though, she's such a stylish girl.

I love the flowers, but that color on Jessica's dress is just to die for...

I love both colors, and the way the women each wore the one best suited for them - ultimately I just didn't like the busy detailing on Anne's.

Jessica's is so much better! Anne's color flushes her skin tone out majorly!

They're both gorgeous, but that color is just so flattering on Jessica.

anne's, definitely. jessica's dress kinda makes her look huge, and other pregnant celebrities have dressed far better than her.
