Would You Rather…? The Andrej Pejic V. ANTM‘s Fatima Siad Flower-in-Mouth Edition

Coincidence or trend? Former ANTM contestant Fatima Siad appears in Arise #13 with red rose petals in her mouth, while pretty-boy Andrej Pejic covers Follow #5 with a similar red flower in his mouth. Let’s only hope this inspires an ANTM challenge in which the contestants are forced to wear the same outfits and do the same poses as some feminine male models. You know it’s a good idea Tyra.

But back to the issue at hand – who do you think works the flowery look better: Miss Fatima or Mr. Andrej?

Would You Rather…? The Models Dressed Up As British Political Leaders Edition

Next month’s Harper’s Bazaar features an editorial of top brit model (and Mick Jagger spawn) Georgia May Jagger dressed as Margaret Thatcher. Don’t get me wrong, we love Georgia as Maggie, but doesn’t this look remind you of another British political themed shot? We’re talking about Agyness Deyn as Queen Elizabeth in LOVE #1–the image Read more →

Would You Rather…? The Snow White Edition

Two different live-action adaptations of Snow White are currently in production: In Snow White and the Huntsman, Kristen Stewart plays the fairest of them all, while Phil Collins’ daughter Lily has the leading role in The Brothers Grimm: Snow White. First images have just been released from both of the forthcoming live-action adaptations of Snow White and the leading ladies could not be more different, sartorially. Lily Collins’ fluorescent frock is more feminine and close to the original, while Kristen Stewart’s knight in shining armor look just has us confused. Which do you prefer: Kristen, Lily or the original?

Would You Rather…? Elle Fanning Vs. Hailee Steinfeld and a Tree Trunk (Plus More Elle Fanning For Marc by Marc!)

We hate to pit a 15-year-old against a 13-year-old but it’s hard not to draw comparisons between Hailee Steinfeld’s Bruce Weber-shot fall campaign for Miu Miu and Elle Fanning’s for Marc by Marc Jacobs (9 more of the Juergen Teller-shot images have just emerged on Fashion Gone Rogue). Both are lovely, talented actresses in their early teens who have a sophistication and a fashion sense that is beyond their years. We love both girls and both campaigns equally–we’re not picking favorites. But, it’s hard not to noticed the stylistic similarities between the two, especially in these shots–in which both girls are wearing longish dresses, dark sunglasses, ankle boots, holding brown clutches and standing outside next to tree trunks.

Click through for more Elle Fanning for Marc by Marc and go here for the rest of Hailee’s Miu Miu campaign.

Would You Rather…? The Buffalo Check Edition

Kim Jones’ debut collection for Louis Vuitton men’s yesterday was inspired by tribes in Africa, the same inspiration that Thakoon Panichgul looked to for his Fall 2011 womenswear show. But not only were the two designers inspired by African tribes, they used the same red and blue buffalo check print in their collections.

So would you rather sport Vuitton’s checked separates or Thakoon’s? Or maybe you’re more of a tartan girl anyway….

Would You Rather…? The Michelle Obama Vs. Jackie Kennedy at Buckingham Palace Edition

Michelle Obama may know how to do classic American elegance better than most, which she proved in last night’s Tom Ford gown, but one can’t forget the lady who paved the way.

A reader on the vigilant on the Mrs. O blog noticed that Jacqueline O (then Kennedy) wore a very similar look to Buckingham Palace in 1961. Both First Ladies wore white dresses and long white gloves to visit Buckingham Palace (it is traditional attire for the Palace, after all.)
