Stars Wars: Eva Mendes vs Jenny McCarthy

Eva Mendes is known for her bombshell looks and flirtatious persona. But the Brazilian beauty had to face some tough competition from Jenny McCarthy in the wardrobe department when Jenny wore a sparkly blue and silver Stella McCartney dress to the 2010 American Music Awards recently. And it wasn’t just any dress folks but the very same one that Eva wore at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards.

Now it’s not uncommon for the divas of Hollywood to occasionally clash when it comes to fashion repeats, either intentionally or unintentionally. But the resounding question remains: Who wore the dress best? Let’s take Eva first. The 2 Fast 2 Furious actress  wore the stylish creation as a short-sleeved loose-fitting one (it didn’t show off her envious curves though) which came up to her knees and she accessorized with gold accessories.

Ms. McCarthy took the dress and gave it a wild modification sans the sleeves. It was shorter, sexier and sleeker and the diva paired it with killer Louboutin black peep toe pumps. The uber-high hairdo was the kick-ass finishing touch to the edgy look. So who won? Let the jewelry speak I say! When it came to the dress alone, it was Jenny who won without a doubt and she would definitely appeal to those of you who want to show the crowd who’s boss.

But looking at the bling that the ladies sported, it was Eva who accessorized the sparkly number beautifully with a flashy gold bangle and an equally charming clutch bag whereas McCarthy’s silver floral cutout earrings did nothing to please the dress. Yes she did follow the golden rule of less flashy bling when one ears a flashy dress. But why the plain Jane earrings darling?

Remember that you cannot pile up on the jewelry when you wear a shimmery number but at the same time it won’t hurt to add a single statement piece that highlights the entire style like Eva’s gold cuff bangle. You go baby!

Miley Cyrus Tames Herself at Clothing Launch

Now who said Miley Cyrus can’t be tamed? Well yes, SHE did, but last week, she had to eat her own words. I guess Hannah Montana decided to perk up and pay attention to fashion critics (not to mention, the 1000s of livid fashion bloggers who’s eyes were subject to her visually provocative dressing styles in the past which included everything ranging from ‘destitute teenager’ to ‘fishnet fishergal’) and chose a high-fashion vintage look when she promoted her new Miley & Max for George clothing line at Asda, England.

The 17 year old knows that she’s an influential fashion idol to millions of teenagers but her questionable fashion choices were getting pretty uncontrollable. My fears subsided though when I saw her kick some ass in power-dressing mode at her clothing launch, sporting a chic white blouse paired with a black L’Agence leather mini skirt which not only looked ultra-sophisticated but also age-appropriate. The outfit was accented with an Antonio Berardi corset belt as well as black pumps.

Now you may get your cake right but what about the icing or in this case ICE? Yeps I’m talking about her bling bling. The young superstar stayed true to her inner rebel self and rocked some black bands on one wrist and on the other was a dainty gold charms bracelet.

Such a contrasting fusion of jewelry reminded me of Sarah Jessica Parker who loves to mingle classic jewelry pieces along with her other fun and less formal bling but did Miley pull it off? The answer is a big resounding YES! Miley decided to come out of her comfort zone and dressed demure which in itself was daring and proved to us that she’s making steady progress on the road to fashion redemption.
