Battle of the Versace: Newton vs. Bell

October 21, 2008

Versace's art print is an acquired taste. Those who taste it seem to enjoy wearing it. Ugly Betty's Becki Newton and socialite/actress Byrdie Bell both took the plunge at the Whitney Museum American Art Gala in NYC in different cuts and colors of the Fall Versace motif. Both of these ladies are blonde, and petite, but who proves the artsy print right?

Newton without a doubt. Maybe Bell's dress could work on someone else, but on her it looks like she took a swath of fabric, wrapped it around her towel-style, and how it's coming untucked.

I love both these dresses! I especially loved how Becki Newton wore it - she rocks it and her shoes are fab. Bydrie (is that seriously her name) Bell's defeinitely does not fit as well, the "garment is wearing her", and her face and hair are awful...

Becki Newton for sure. I'm loving everything she wears lately. Byrdie's dress makes her look really wide, almost pregnant. And her roots... ew.

I think both are hideous.

Both are cute, hard to pick. I picked Bell.

Neither seem flattering to me.

Becki looks amazing! Byrdie looks like she's in a towel. It's not just the dress. It's the hair and facial expressions, too.

This was tough for me...I voted for Bell because I like her shoe choice better, but the dress does look like it's falling off.

As a truly vertically challenged person, how is 5'10 (Byrdie Bell) suppose to be petite? Sorry I know it's off topic but hearing tall skinny women described as petite is a pet peeve.
