Which Jen Do You Prefer: Sexy or Sweet?

We know this about Jennifer Aniston: she's got a killer figure, she likes to show off her legs (why not?!), and she tends to wear simple, understated, figure-hugging clothes.

We know this about Jennifer Aniston: she's got a killer figure, she likes to show off her legs (why not?!), and she tends to wear simple, understated, figure-hugging clothes. That's why it was such a surprise to see her in a girly, printed Prada dress for her Walk of Fame ceremony in LA yesterday. The nude, Gucci peep-toe heels were more classic Jen, and she chose to imprint those rather than her bare toes. But about that dress: do you like her sweet look, or do you prefer Jen in sexier, more figure-hugging outfits, like this black Balenciaga dress she wore to the Horrible Bosses premiere?
