Britney and Sienna Are Twins

Dec 21, 2007 @ 11:27am

Our favorite “Who Wore It Better” of all time comes from People - apparently Sienna and Britney wore the same paisley See by Chloe dress.

The question of who in fact did wear it better is kind of obvious, but we’re more interested in the bizarre meeting of worlds that somehow led to Sienna and Britney wearing the same dress.

What does it mean? Are Sienna’s days as a fashion icon finally over? Or is Britney some kind of prescient genius that we just can’t fully appreciate in her lifetime?

If we were Sienna, we might have some pretty harsh words for our stylists - how could they let her leave the house in a dress lent to Britney Spears? Unless, of course, Sienna wore it first. In which case, Britney's stylist should have warned her of the style bar set light years above her head...

I don't think Britney looks half bad in it.

hahahaha, "Britney" and "stylist" in the same sentence is really funny.
Brits is prolly wearing a knockoff from Forever 21 or something like that.

I'm not much of a Britney fan, but I agree that she actually looks the best she has in a while here.

Oh gross, I can't believe Britney is in the lead of who wore it better on People!
She doesn't look bad compared to the trainwreck she normally looks like but Sienna looks so much cuter.

let's call a spade a spade. there are only so many dresses in this world. who gives a rat's ass if someone wears a dress someone already wore? the horror.

DO NOT FORGET that ol' Brit Brit used to be like the hottest thing ever. And she used to actually listen to stylists (sometimes). And we all liked her. I'm just going to consider this one point for Britney, and I really don't think Sienna has much to worry about.

I'm still desperately hoping for a Britney comeback.

Those dresses aren't the same. Look closely at the graphic on the dress... there are several differences.

SICK of Sienna. I don't know why she was ever called a fashion icon anyway. GASP! Boots and a tasteful sweater! OMG a mini dress and strappy sandals! Yawn.

lentil, i'm pretty sure the dresses are the same, but sienna's is hemmed up higher than britney's. that, and the lighting is different

Yea, the dresses don't look the same. Either way I prefer the way Sienna looks in it.

With Britney, maybe its the coat...I dunno. She cheapens the look of things.

I also hate to admit Britney wore it better. But it could be the lighting. The long coat is also a better choice.

i own this dress and was mildly horrified myself to find that britney had worn it on her birthday; i can only imagine how sienna feels, losing a 'who wore it better.' regardless, it's definitely the same dress. sienna's is hemmed and isn't -- ahem -- quite so tight.

Haha, remember ladies, back in her day Britney WAS a fashion icon. I can't speak for NY, but I know that Britney heavily influenced the way young girls dressed on the west coast. Never got the appeal of Sienna, I think the media blew her up more than she deserved.
