Black and White Chanel Dresses
With Chanel being such a widely coveted brand, it's inevitable that more than one celebrity will be spotted in the same glamourous Parisian look. That can be said for an iconic black and white chiffon-feathered gown from Chanel's Fall 2011 collection which continues to make appearances on the red carpet year after year.
Round 1
1. Crystal Renn hauled this dramatic monochromatic gown out of the Chanel archives for an outing in New York just last week (April 2014). The supermodel pulled her hair back in a sleek bun, wore a red hot lip and carried a black clutch bag.
2. Lily Allen picked out the popular Chanel gown for a movie premiere in London during October 2013. The British singer wore the white cap-sleeved gown with turned up collar and tattered black chiffon gown originally as presented on the runway, with the leaf-embroidered waistband. Lily added a colourful Chanel Lego clutch, and fringed updo to her outfit.
3. Emilia Clarke looked elegant at the 2012 SAG Awards in the frou frou feathered gown with white bodice that is edged in black frills. The Game of Thrones actress kept her hair in a loose upstyle.
4. The first person to wear this two-tone Chanel look was Zoe Kravitz at the Unicef Snowflake ball in November 2011. Zoe wore the dress sans the embroidered waistband with her hair up.
On the runway the textured gown with structured bodice was given grunge styling, worn by Latvian model Ginta Lapina, with sheer chiffon fingerless gloves and lace-up leather boots.
Round 2
1. Rachel Zoe put on a little black and white pearl studded Chanel dress for a red carpet appearance in Los Angeles during March 2014. The designer accessorized with an elaborate pearl necklace and wore black tights and platforms with her dress, a white fur stole in tow.
2. Alexa Chung was first to wear this strapless Chanel tweed shift dress, keeping it simple with a chain sling Chanel bag and black PVC pointy toe pumps as seen on the runway.
3. On the Spring 2013 catwalk, Belgian model Yumi Lambert wore the striking look with a pearl twisted choker, leather fingerless goes and pointy-toe PVC shoes.
In Round 1, my vote goes to Emilia Clarke, the dress was tailored to fit her perfectly, whereas on Lily and Zoe, it looked slightly too big. I also prefer it with the waistband, although I must admit Crystal wore it with poise, only the way a model can.
In Round 2, I think Alexa wore it best, I prefer this dress minus the heavy heels and tights.
Who Do You Think Wore It Better?

Hi Sam. I have to admit I don't like the first dress very much but I think Crystal Rew wore it better. Alexa Chung looks so beautiful! I really like her pretty dress.

Hmm for round 1 I have to say Emilia Clarke, because she's the mother of dragons!! For round two, I would say the runway model. I'm not a huge fan of a drop waist, specially with such a full skirt, but I love the addition of the black leather gloves :)

Hmm! I think it look the prettiest on Emilia! <3

Hi Sam! Hope you enjoyed your weekend. I am still in love with both Of these Chanel dresses and all these stylish woman wear them beautifully. I think for round 1. I would say that Emilia Clarke wears it the best but Crystal Renn also brings a sophisticated elegance that is very chic. Round 2. Is tricky because I think all three look amazing :)
Take care,
Daniella xox
i like alexa in the dotted dress. so pretty and fresh!

Hi Sam! To be honest, Im not a huge fan of the first gown, is little eccentric for my taste, though the details are really gorgeous. So, in the round 1 my vote go for sure to Emilia Clarke, who wears it perfectly. The second dress is much more beautiful and I really love it, my vote goes to Alexa Chung too, she is just too great with, seems made for her, though I also love the model on the runway. Happy Monday dear! xo
Emilia and Alexa look so much better!! :)
I vote Emilia for round 1 and Yumi for round 2! ;)

Sam I totally agree with you!! Emilia and Alexa wore it better. I think it looks great on Crystal Renn too but now that she's starving herself again she will never get my vote. Happy Monday sweetheart. The week already started bad just like it ended lol :). I will eat some cookies :)

In the first round Crystal Renn looks the best in my opinion because the outfit is suited for her silhouette, but Emilia Clarke looks great also. And in second round I agree with you that Alexa looks better.
Have a great week:)
In the first round I like the way Emilia Clarke wore the dress. In the second I like Rachel Zoe's styling. Alexa looks nice in it, too, but I think that this dress is practically begging for some sort of necklace to be worn with it. Happy Monday!

Adorable dress!
Alexa is my favorite.

The Chanel black and white dress is so beautiful and I think that Crystal Renn looks lovely in it. For round two, how can I not go with Alexa?

Emilia Clarke is the best! This obviously has nothing to do with her being Daenerys Targeryen :D

Lily Allen and Alexa. The dress just falls perfectly on Alexa's frame and the first dress looks like it was made for Ms Allen

Hi Sam, Round 1, mine is go to Emilia Clarke, she looks elegant and flawless, i love the hair loos idea on her looks. Just so right.
Rounds 2 is go to Alexa Chung, she looks more comfortable and relaxed on the looked. I agree should,'t wear the thick shoes and the black stocking though!
Have a wonderful Tuesday darling!
http://www.attraction2fashion.com
Haha I agree with both your choices. Round 1 definitely goes to Amelia, it fits her perfectly.
Then in Round 2, I immediately chose Alexa's look out of the others.

Oh, I love Ginta's look, the grunge styling is perfect with the 'feathery' gown, I like the juxtaposition. But there really is no competition between Alexa and Rachel, Alexa was made for this dress if you ask me.:)
I think Emilia did better for sure! She just rocked that dress and in the second round I would have to go for Alexa eventhough the dress isn't my favourite x
Love, Ana ♥

I totally love Crystal's take on that dress - the confidence earns her my vote for sure.
And I have to disagree with you, I like the way Rachel Zoe wore that dress - something about it screams glamorous!

I've got to say I don't like the very first dress at all, it looks nice only on model. Such a monstrosity to my mind;)
The next dress is not that bad, but once again to my mind it looks at it's beat only on model. I don't like when designers are making such things which are nice only for skinny and tall girls, I wouldn't personally buy such things, even because of brand and good quality.
Have a good day, Sam!
I would chose Crystal and Alexa!

I thought Lily Allen looked great in Round 1. Beautiful and unique styles. It's funny how the same dress looks very different on everyone.
Have a great week Sam!

Emilia and Alexa!
You echoed my thoughts exactly Sam (I couldn't help smiling when I read your final notes :) )! I'm not a fan of Alexa Chung, but I do agree that she wore the dress better than Rachel Zoe,... But I do prefer the runway look with the pearl twisted choker, I wouldn't change a thing (ok, perhaps I wouldn't mind skipping the gloves!)
Many hugs to you, dear!
