While a mustard colored dress isn't the first thing most people think of to compliment a bright ketchup-red carpet, sometimes the McDonald's-themed combo can work.

Case in point: the Vera Wang frock that actress Michelle Williams rocked at the 2006 Oscars when she was nominated for her role in "Brokeback Mountain."

The old Hollywood-inspired gown and its risky untraditional yellow hue definitely signaled to the fashion world that Williams had officially arrived.

Perhaps "Inglorious Basterds" star Diane Kruger thought it wise to take a page out of Williams' style book for her own red carpet appearance (and nomination for outstanding performance by a cast) at last night's 2010 SAG Awards.

While Kruger's Jason Wu gown had an asymmetrical neckline and Williams' featured a deep-V, both dresses share long glamorous trains and twisted fabric detailing. Both leading ladies even rocked a similar beauty plan -- gently pulled back blonde tresses paired with scarlet red lips.

So, who do you think reigned supreme in mustard? Leave a comment with your vote!

Michelle stands it on everybody fall better! Now them hatt it demonstrated, with Diane it looks thus as if she had cribbed to herself from it with Michelle!
A thick point for Michelle Williams!

Looks like a French's vs. Gray Poupon faceoff! Both dresses have a lovely fluidity and show off the actresses' amazing figures. But Kruger's bodice makes her look a little lopsided -- the whole half-up, half-down thing. (Brrr... this comparison unfortunately brings up the ghost of Heath!)
