Chanel’s Haute Couture 2008 show was a memorable affair, if not for the face frames, then for the hot pink dress that Cameron Diaz would later wear on the Red Carpet (after Rachel Zoe famously altered it). For SS11, however, Carven presented a very similarly draped dress in black. So whose draped wonder would you rather wear, Chanel’s or Carven’s?

What a conspicuous dress to emulate. It looks so much like it did post-alteration.

Oh my, the Chanel, all the way! So so beautiful. I can’t look away.

Wow, they’re both…kind of amazing.

I’m not a fan of anything sleeveless, but the Chanel is better. The second is kind of poofy in a bad way – it makes her bottom half look extremely fat.

Both amazing dresses but my vote if for Chanel, its just stunning!

I like the draping on Chanel yet it still looks structured. Also, I favored that one better because of the sleeves… and oh, the pink ;)

The cut on the Chanel is incomparable, but I wouldn’t toss the Carven away if it was offered to me!

They are both equally stunning! But I would have to go with Chanel because it’s more sleek, whereas the Caravan is too bulky.

Chanel!!!
