Roland Mouret Galaxy Dress
Roland Mouret's 'Galaxy' dress is much more than your basic Little Black Dress - it's an iconic piece in recent fashion history. Originally debuted in Fall 2005, the hourglass-enhancing knee-length sheath was the object of every fashionista's affection, being sold out around the world. After a six-year hiatus, the Galaxy made a triumphant return in 2011, and since it's inception in 2005, it has become a firm red carpet favourite amongst celebrities. Most recently, Halle Berry wore the famous frock, which inspired this version of 'Who Wore It Better'.
Miranda Kerr pulled her original 2005 Galaxy dress out of the archives for a trip to the Tribeca Film Festival in April last year. The stunning Aussie model added a pop of hot pink with suede Christian Louboutin pumps, and carried a Lanvin bag.
Estonian supermodel Carmen Kass wore a much shorter version of the chic pleated sleeve frock during Milan Fashion Week in September 2009. She paired her sexy look with chunky black leather sandals.
Back in 2006, Burlesque queen Dita von Teese added her retro style to the little black dress with 40's curls, cherry red lips and nails and plain black pumps.
Victoria Beckham was photographed in the Galaxy dress on numerous occasions, but the one that stands out is her appearance at a media awards event in London in December 2005. Victoria accompanied her look with nude and black pumps.
And finally, the first person to start the Roland Mouret 'Galaxy' dress trend was the lovely Cameron Diaz back in September 2005. The blonde actress made a statement by pairing it with vivid blue ankle tie-up sandals by Jimmy Choo. She also carried a Bottega Veneta clutch.
The dress was originally shown on the Roland Mouret Fall 2005 runway by model Erin Wasson. The Galaxy dress gained fame for its powermesh bodice that claims to sculpt any shape from size 6 to 16. Made from wool and stretch felt with a square neck and drape cap-sleeves, the Galaxy dress retails at £1450 or $2322 via rolandmouret.com
Who wore it better? Here is a recap to help you decide.
Isn't it amazing that the Galaxy LBD hasn't lost it's chic appeal over the course of 7 years. I think the dress fits the best on Miranda Kerr and Dita von Teese but the prize for best heels goes to Cameron Diaz in those stunning blue Jimmy Choo's.

I find it amazing that famous people have been wearing this dress (and being photographed in it) for 7 years! I think Miranda and Halle (and the runway model) wore it best!
I love the short model that Carmen Krass wears, but I'm crazy for Cameron Diaz and I always love her style... So I can't decide among these two :P xoxo, Mina from the blog The Style Fever ♥
that dress is amazing! I love how Halle looks in that dress; it shows her perfect figure just wonderful!
I vote Halle and Dita! What a pretty dress!

Halle or Dita!
That is a wonderfully designed dress; the proof is that it looks fabulous on everyone who wore it! I have to say, though, that I'm a huge Dita devotee, and the dress fits best with her typical pin-up style. :) She wins my vote!

This is one of those timeless dresses that can be worn for years and still look as stunning as the day it was picked up. Not surprisingly, I agree with you, Miranda wears it best!
All the best hun!
I do love Miranda's look but I'm definitely partial to Victoria Bekham! And Halle Berry looks AMAAAZING at 46!
Love it!

I love Miranda...so amazing..kisses
I think Carmen and Erin wear it the best but I can't decide between the two of them! :)
I'm back! I wanted to write you, but I'm in a spinning wheel here! And it's good!
More active I will be from Monday on. I still have to face London and possibly some things I don't like doing there, you know...
In my opinion, Miranda Kerr looked better - and the model too!
Hope you have a great weekend, more news from Monday or Tuesday on! I promise!
Love dita!!! :):)
I love Dita, Miranda and Halle, they look so seductive yet chic!:)
Have a beautiful day my girl!!

I think Dita looks best because she's pulled a whole look together around the dress. Yes, the others look great but Dita is absolutely stunning . . .
I also think Dita... :)
Just love Dita and even Halle in this dress!!
Jayme & Mendi @ Her Late Night Cravings
personally I think the model looks better in the dress than the celebs do. but If I had to choose one that wore it best it'd be carmen kasss.

I must say that I like it the best on Dita von Teese, I think it suits her style the best! Red lips with a black dress - what an excellent combination!
Thank you sweetest Sam for your kind words concerning my new header, I truly appreciate them!

I think Erin Wasson wore it best haha!
Oh my gosh, Nicola Roberts haha ok basically she was in a girl band that won one of those TV talent show things (Cheryl Cole was in it too.) She used to get bullied badly by the press for having red hair, being 'ugly' and for having awful fake tan and fashion sense. The band had a break and the girls all went off to do their own thing. Nicola decided she was going to get into fashion so ditched the tan and got a good stylist. Now she thinks she's like this fashion authority and on Styled to Rock she is an absolute bitch, soo mean when she shouldn't be, she knows how it feels to be bullied. And without a stylist and designer mates, she'd know nothing so it's like who IS she? Wooow sorry for the rant pahaha, but that is why I dislike Nicola Roberts. xxx
Wow, what fabulous styling Sam!! I think I'm going to have to opt for Halle Berry - love the classic look and those pumps are gorgeous.
Hope I look that good when I'm 46, ha...
i think Dita and Miranda wore it best:) they look great in it!
This is a tough one! I think I like the shorter hem on Carmen Kass
