Sorry 1 and 2, but I don't think, with an outfit like this, you should look strong. you should play up a softness, which MK exudes here. Don't get me wrong, ADR would kill it if this was a runway, but in the real world this dress don't need a strong look under it.

I agree with three but I don't like MK's choice in shoes.

I think ADR looks too fierce, as if she is trying too hard to match the strong attitude of the dress, and it just ends up looking overworked. I agree with #3, MK wears it much better, especially because she plays up the softness. I do like the choice of nude shoe, though I think a plain pump would have been better suited to the dress.

its so obv that guests 2-5 aren't familiar with balmania and all its glory. ADR kills this dress while MK looks timid. Get off it losers. Granted, MK does look good, but she stops there. Anna Della Russo looks confindetn, strong, and like shes enjoying the hell out of those pointed shoulders. Bravo! This is proof LA (and LA's natives) place second, if not last, on the hierarchy of chicness to the royals of fashion.

its all about mk, she looks unreal! and i think poster 6 needs to chill out, there are some true haters on this site! ADR looks gorgeous, but i think it is a very young style of dress, therefore it fits mk better :)

Hear hear #7! Haha sooo true. If you saw ADR on the street, you'd be awestruck by the chicness. MK is seriously lacking any fabulousness here and it makes the dress look bad.

Too bad commenter #6 that that stupid blog you posted can't comprehend the difference between Who's and Whose. The headline should be Who's (as in..who..is) Messing With Anna. Idiot.

But back to the post at hand. I think MK kills it. She rocks it out for a girl with such a petite frame.

Who is this Anna character that makes MK look healthy-sized?

ADR easily. She's strong, confident, and dramatic in her ensemble. That's a woman you'd remember if you saw her walk down the street in that. MK looks dwarfed in such a strong shoulder and uncertain as to whether or not she pulled off the outfit. It looks oddly plain on MK for such a strong piece.

#14:
ADR is the fashion editor at large for Vogue Nippon. what that actually means, who knows. but she's always at the fashion weeks in pretty amazing clothes and is a favorite of sartorialist, streetpeeper, jak&jil

mk!!!! adr looks unhealthy and her shoulders look awkward. ADR's choice of hair doesn't really complement the dress. Plus, mk looks great, simple and clean.

everything about mk is great, aside from her choice in shoes. She's short, her shoes should be higher. Especially with bare legs. high shoes please!

Mar 19, 2009 11:38PM

MK gets my vote. ADR is kind of a...handsome...woman to start off with, so the height of the hem and those Balmain shoulders don't do her any favors. Plus MK styled her dress in a way that doesn't look straight up Balmain...I think she made the piece more her own than ADR did.

ADR, hands down. I feel like anyone who says MK is doing so because she's younger and prettier..

but I feel like this dress looks really bad on her. her neck is gone and she doesn't have the hips or the length of leg to balance out those amazing structural shoulders. It looks like she got it a size too big... the length on the sleeves and hemline is horrendous.

anna did it better. If we could just pop MK's face on ADR's body: PERFECTION.
harsh, I know - but 100% true.

I'm sorry, but Anna looks like she is pushing 50... am I wrong? I don't think she pulls this off. Nothing wrong with pushing 50- but I do believe in dressing age-appropriately.

Mar 20, 2009 8:29AM

its a bit of a tie because im not too keen on the styling in both cases. mks shoes suck but she still wins - black transparent tights make legs look lumpy and are one of my pet peeves.

neither of them look good.
ADR looks too vampish, and MK looks lost.
The look seems too young for ADR and too old for MK.
This dress needs someone with a powerful youthfulness AND a long neck

It looks like its swallowing both of them. And i also agree with 32 about the oldness of ADR. So I have to say MK, just because ADR is scaring me in that picture.

To say that Anna looks better in this dress is utter madness, she looks like a corpse.

Mar 20, 2009 2:30PM

MK O, she plays it well with the bangles and nude-ish colored sandal but the look looks too overaged for her. ADR looks like she overplayed it, she looks quite scary with the outfit she put together.

I agree, this outfit needs a long neck- and a late 20s to early 30s somebody.

In these photos, clearly MK, because she brings another dimension to the dress. But this may be only because of her better choice of pose, and becuase she doesn't look quite as scary!
