Who Wore It Better? Dolce & Gabbana Emerald Green Satin Gown

January 29, 2008

How can we forget when Rihanna overpowered the red carpet in her emerald green satin Dolce & Gabbana gown? It looks like Billy Joel's wife, Katie Lee Joel, was green with envy because she selected the same mesmerizing dress for a recent event. Both ladies look stunning, but I don't understand why Katie blocked her dress with her hair. Rihanna is more polished while Katie's more at ease. Which gal wins you over?

Neither! Both look like Ariel - from The Little Mermaid!

Neither. Rihanna's figure looks ridiculous in this dress, and I really wish Katie had done something with her hair.

Rihanna looks ridiculous (apparently I'm in the minority!). I thought it was common sense to accentuate your curves only if you're balancing them out? How is having really REALLY wide hips and next-to-nothing chest attractive? Normally she looks beautiful, but this particular look just makes her chest look bizarrely small and her hips bizarrely large! Maybe I'm wrong, though!

The emerald color looks great against Rihanna's skin.

I felt mean voting neither but I really think that the dress is too 'lumpy' and both of their makeup is horrific in different ways!

I voted for Rihanna however Katie also looks gorgeous. I like the way the emerald color looks against Rihanna's skin tone; it makes the color look bolder.

I think it looks great on both of them, but Katie should not have let her hair cover it so much! But the dress does look beautiful on both women.

Katie's hair covered the gorgeous neckline of the dress. Plus I think Rihanna's curves really accentuate the folds of the dress and gives her a great mermaid look.

Neither - I just don't like this dress. I think the color is beautiful and the neckline is as well but I don't like all the folds...it would have been better as a simple sheen gown.
