Jennifer darling, you need to gain about 30 pounds. With that aside, I would have to say she's the lesser of two evils in this outfit. Their shoes are practically the same, so there's not much to go on, except that the fur seems too over-the-top with such a standout piece, and I think ADR's green earrings are just too much. So Jennifer, you win by default.

i think ADR's skin and hair colour are better complements to the green dress, however she seems to have the body and stance of a female footballer, which sometimes works in her advantage; I guess I'll vote for ADR, although I love Jennifer and ADR seems to be carrying a dead racoon.

I am going to say Jennifer Connelly - clearly having darker hair enhances this outfit #8, and I don't think she as a person is unoriginal - because her stylist chose the entire look. Whereas Anna actually does own that entire collection and could have made wiser choices in regard to accessories.

Definitely J-Con ftw. There is so much going on with the dress already that I cringe at the thought of accessorizing it - let alone with gaudy matchy-matchy earrings, a gold bangle, and an ostentatious fur. Hard to do, but Della Russo makes a very expensive outfit look incredibly cheap.

Well, aside from Anna's accessories, they're wearing the exact same thing.
On top of that, I'm pretty sure their outfit (no, it really doesn't need to be plural) is pulled directly from the runway, which kind of voids the entire question.
And 14, I think Anna's appeal probably stems from the fact that she can afford the entire Balmain collection. But who knows--maybe she has a really great personality.

Lets be serious... ADR is an editor, I doubt she bought most of the of the pieces she's been wearing.

Actually stylecrusader, if you read Garance Dore's post where ADR invited her back to her apartment you'll see ADR owns all her clothes (so many she has a second apartment next door just to store them all..)

It's more like the celeb on the right (haven't a clue who she is) who is just borrowing the outfit.
