..Who Wore it Better: Kate or Madonna?

By Ariel Kaiser:........This is the best kind of Who Wore It Best! Two distinctively different women in every way (background, style, image, career, etc.) facing off in the same, beautiful piece of clothing. The garment in question is a Stella McCartney peaked-shoulder, salmon-colored satin dress with subtle front-pleating and some high-necked secretary tie detail. The color is gorgeous, the length is modest without being dowdy, and its overall just a great statement piece.

On the left we have Kate Middleton, known officially as the Duchess of Cambridge, but also, you know, Prince William's incredibly stylish new bride. She was spotted rocking this pretty number with her long, enviable, blown-out locks a'flowing and her radiant, tanned skin a'glowing. She and Wills were having dinner at the Waterside Inn in Bray, Berkshire as part of Prince Philip's 90th birthday celebration and the dress was such a smart choice; the color is so festive and the cut is so family dinner-appropriate. Bravo.
To the right is Madonna (obviously), who looked incredibly chic back in 2008 at an amFAR event at the Cannes Film Festival. Her Stella McCartney frock (fun fact: Stella is one of Madonna's best friends) was accessorized with a box clutch, sparkly bracelets, and pretty waves.
So, friends. Who wore it better? My pick is Princess Kate, with her lush locks and casual fit. Do you agree? Or is your money on the Queen of Pop, with her surprisingly prim styling?
