WHO WORE DOLCE & GABBANA BETTER?



Jennifer Connelly and Kate Hudson have in common this strapless Dolce & Gabbana satin frock but who wore the look best? Vote for who you think got 'it' on the bottom of this post.

Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Connelly attended the “Reservation Road” Gala Premiere at Toronto Film Festival. Connelly rock this D&G knee-length dress in white...and with a pair of matching white comfy sandals.

Kate Hudson of the upcoming romantic comedy, Fool's Gold struck a pose at the Movies Rock event in Hollywood. Hudson paired her black D&G mini-dress with a Frank Gehry for Tiffany & Co. bangle and a Jada Loveless alligator clutch.


Style Verdict: Both ladies rock this Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress to perfection but Kate wins this fashion comparison. Jennifer's shoes hurts her overall look unfortunately. Score a similar dress like Jennifer and Kate over at Nordstrom for $545.

ROSARIO DAWSON IN DOLCE AND GABBANA



Rosario Dawson is keeping up with the new sheer trend in this lacy Dolce & Gabbana Fall 2007 turtleneck sheath at the designer's store opening in NYC.
