Maybe it's just the angle, but I prefer Miranda's because her version seems to have preserved more of the original architectural skirt.

I think the accessory they were referring to was jonathan rhys meyers, not the clutch, haha.

I like Reena's whole look best. Someone as pretty as both Miranda and her always need to keep the hair back to avoid looking cheesy. I far as the actual dress goes, in the photos at least, Miranda's dress looks as though it has kept more of the structure seen on the runway.
p.s. like they care what we think, when they have those boyfriends to keep them busy!

I don't find Miranda Kerr Balenciaga material. For me she doesn't embody what Balenciaga is about.
Don't get me wrong she is nice and all but I prefer seeing her in skin tight jeans or VS clothing rather then in Balenciaga. And this dress in particulair doesn't look the way it should look on her.

I haven't seen this season's Balenciaga look sexy on anyone until this picture of Miranda Kerr

I don't think either of them have pulled it off.. and I absolutely adore Miranda.
I think their tans just make it look cheap.

erinclaire, I am fairly certain that Reena is not white...which sort of puts you in the position of having said something quite yucky.

Hey 8:46... I hate to argue, but not everything is racially charged, or as you say it, yucky.
She looks very caucasian here:

9:39 -- the link is to Miranda, but 8:46 was referring to Reena...

Reena is half Bangladeshi and half Polish/English.
Regardless, I think she plays up the architecture of the dress better by pulling her hair back and adding collar and ankle-strap shoes.

i agree with fashionista on reena having the best accessory
but both pull the dress off nicely

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend.
I've never heard of Reena before and I don't have an issue with people with darker skin.
I honestly meant that I think this dress would flatter someone with lighter skin because there's too much orange in the dress, just like white dresses often wash out people with pale skin.

she has a nice clutch, but you can't wear a short dress to the costume ball. i want to see outrageous, huge gowns!
