Kendall Jenner vs. Kim Kardashian – Fashion Faceoff

Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian
Kendall Jenner or Kim KardashianWho wore the Azzedine Alaia dress best?
Perhaps Kim Kardashian should've thought twice before loaning little sister Kendall Jenner a dress. The reality star, 31, blogged that her 16-year-old sibling borrowed her sleeveless black- and-white frock by Azzedine Alaia this week. Kim and Kendall had to know, however, that sharing clothes would leave the rest of us with quite a style showdown. Sounds like it's time for our very first sister edition of who wore it best!

Up-and-coming model Kendall showed off her long legs in the dress. She sported it with a sleek ponytail, but otherwise let it speak for itself as she walked the red carpet for the premiere of "The Hunger Games" Monday in L.A.

More than a year ago, Kim made the design just part of her look for the NYC soiree celebrating the season finale of E!'s "The Spin Crowd" - remember that show?! - way back on October 6, 2010. Big sis Kim styled her hair the same way as Kendall's, but she also added black tights, an oversized belt, and, of course, plenty of makeup.

This is one frock that we shouldn't be surprised to see any of the Kardashian gals wearing, because they obviously adore it. "It's such an amazing dress!" Kim gushed on her blog. "I got it when I was in Paris with my mom in 2010 when we met Mr. Alaia himself. I remember I always used to try on my mom's Alaia dresses when I was younger, so I'm glad I have younger sisters I can share my favorite pieces with." While Kim's sentiment is sweet, the truth is, sisters or not, only one woman can emerge victorious. In this case, the clear winner for me is Kendall, thanks to her simple styling. Kim's tights and belt are just too much to add when she's already wearing a busy pattern. Do you agree?

How vulgar! £1 million 24-carat gold Rolls-Royce is unveiled

The Rolls-Royce has always had a history of elegance and class - until now.

That prestigious reputation has been smashed by the world's most vulgar makeover of the company's iconic Ghost model.

An Italian fashion design house has created a gold-covered monstrosity costing more than £1 million.

The Fenice Milano 'Diva' has been spray painted in 24-carat gold and the company is so proud of it they have described the model as a 'true.masterpiece.'

It is fitted with the same 6-litre twin-turbocharged engine of the Ghost, giving the saloon more than 560bhp and a top speed of 155mph.

Fenice Milano believes their Rolls-Royce is a 'synonym for class, elegance and style'. many would disagree.

The interior has biscuit leather and 24-carat gold throughout. The standard Ghost costs £220,000 but the Diva is now for sale at £1.05million.

Phillip Brooks, a Rolls-Royce historian, described the car as 'bizarre' but also 'spectacular'.

He said: "I think what Fenice is doing with the Ghost is quite interesting. It's certainly a case of gilding the lily, but the gilding job looks pretty good.

'My personal taste doesn't run to something like a Diva, but I think it would be great fun to show up in one. All in all, perhaps a slightly bizarre car, but a very neat one.'
