Back to basics faithful reader. Though we segue from fashion from time to time, this blog was founded on it.
Therefore...it's time to play...
Celebrity vs. Runway - Who wore it better
Anne Hathaway
Mrs. Hemsworth - I think the colour washes her out and I actually prefer it without the modesty panel in the skirt. I give it to the Runway. Buffy??
Buffy -
Sarah Jessica Parker
Mrs. H - Line backer pose notwithstanding...I give it to Sarah. She's filling it out better and I prefer the skirt more opaque and without the slit. I will give props for the model's styling - I prefer her shoes and belt and the fact that her hair is back so we get the full affect of the purple lame top.

Side bar: You know your shoes are too high when....
Geez!!! She's going to burst a vessel in her foot from the strain!!!
Jessica Biel
Mrs. H - I am a fan of drama and this dress has it in spades...on the Runway. The sleeves are fuller and the belt is ornate. I love it. I think Jessica toned it down too much. It's couture for a reason!!!! If you can't take the glam...stick to ready to wear. Buffy? Do you agree?

Maggie Gyllenhall
Mrs. H - Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah! Oh boy...I needed this. Runway! Hands down. Maggie's crazy style never ceases to amuse. A hobo suit indeed!! Meaning absolutely no offence to her body type -- It doesn't flatter her at all. She's too busty and it's throwing off the print. On the Runway it looks great! If I was the body type of that model I'd wear it in a heartbeat. And Maggies styling??!! The tights...the shoes! It totally weighs down this light and mildly whimsical look.

Abigail Breslin
Mrs. H - This is a toughy! I'm going to say neither! Where I applaud the teen for trying a bright colour we have the bust problem again and the flat chested model is pulling the jacket off better. Further, the outfit seems too mature for her and I'm not a fan of her shoes. The model's styling is weird! I hate the bag and shoes though I get where they're coming from. It's just too bright for my taste. Buffy? Are you up for some lemon sherbet?

Ashley Greene
Mrs. H - Perhaps its the seated pose but again!...The bust!!! 1 Point to the flat chested model. I think the colour on the beachy blonde works better --score 2. And hair and make up? Two more points for the Runway -- the loose style and light shades are a better completment than Ashley's severe hair and dark eyes and lips. Runway is the clear winner!

Gemma Arterton
Mrs. Hemsworth -- Oh Gemma. Not again. It's like she's never gotten over playing the demi-god Io in Clash of the Titans or the princess in Prince of Persia. She appears to be a fan of the white, Grecian look But this jumpsuit and her styling make her body look disproportionally bigger than her head and I am not a fan of jumpsuits on anyone so -- Neither for me.
Buffy --
Let it go Gemma...we've been there seen that bare shoulder(s), drapy, look on you before!
What? It's my blog I can cheat if I want to!
I rest my case.
