Kelly Ripa and Gwyneth Paltrow Wear Same Dress by Victoria Beckham - Who Wore It Better?

Celebs love Victoria Beckham's form-fitting dresses, but some stars may be taking their love of her fashion-forward designs too far.

Kelly Ripa and Gwyneth Paltrow are seemingly addicted to the designer's frocks and both reportedly own several pieces from Beckham's Spring and Fall 2010 collections.

The blondes appear to be battling it out for the title of Victoria Beckham's number one fan -- each spotted in the same red hot number from the designer's spring line.

Ripa wore the dress on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" in New York City. The slightly padded shoulders and fitted waist flattered her famously fit body perfectly. She completed her look with a simple pair of nude Sergio Rossi heels.

Paltrow wore the VB dress for her guest appearance on "The Marriage Ref," but the leggy blonde accessorized with more aggressive Tabitha Simmons Bailee suede sandals for an edgier vibe.

Both stars look stunning in this curve-hugging dress, but who wore it better? Vote now and then check out which other celeb wore the same Victoria Beckham style to an event at the White House.

Who Wore it Best?

Kelly Ripa posed in a red padded shouldered dress from Victoria Beckham's Spring 2010 collection at the Jimmy Fallon show in New York on April 14, 2010. Gwyneth Paltrow stepped out in the same dress for her guest appearance on "The Marriage Ref" on May 5, 2010.

Who Wore it Best?

"Iron Man 2" actress Gwyneth Paltrow posed in a grey dress from Victoria Beckham's Spring 2010 collection during a photo call for the upcoming sequel at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills, California on April 23, 2010. Back in September, Jennifer Lopez wore the pink version of the same curve hugging sheath at a meeting on Capitol Hill with Nancy Pelosi to discuss education in the Latino community.

Who Wore it Best?

In the 'Sex and the City' Movie, Cynthia Nixon (or rather Miranda Hobbes) was a bridesmaid in Mr. Big and Carrie's wedding wearing a stunning plum gown by Zac Posen. Nicole Richie was spotted in that same dress at a Charity Cocktail to benefit UNICEF on March 6, 2010 in West Hollywood, California.

Who Wore it Best?

Tina Fey and Sheryl Crow wore similar floral print dresses by Dolce & Gabbana to the 2010 Matrix Awards on Monday, April 19, 2010 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. Both were honored for their impact on the world of women in communication. Tina's dress had a plunging v-neck, which she paired with a black cardigan while Sheryl opted for a more modest neckline, drawing attention to her tan and toned arms.

Who Wore it Best?

Back in November, "90210" star AnnaLynne McCord wore a skin-tight one-shoulder cut-out dress by Donna Mizani during a night out on the town. "The Hills" bad girl Kristin Cavallari chose the same look for a more recent outing on March 25th.

Who Wore it Best?

"Sex and the City" star Kim Cattrall posed at The 2010 Laurence Olivier Awards in London, England on March 21, 2010 in a pretty white ruffled one-shoulder Lanvin dress. Actress Michelle Williams wore the same look to the "Shutter Island" special screening on February 17, 2010 in New York City.

Who Wore it Best?

Rihanna was spotted in Los Angeles International Airport (with her entourage in tow) on January 3, 2009 wearing a pair of Charley 5.0 Skinny Tie Dye Legging Jeans with an oversized mesh sweater, hot pink Givenchy sandals and blue and brown sunglasses. But Ciara rocked the same leggings with a loose tank and black platform heels last June on the red carpet at the Hollywood premiere of "Transformers."

Who Wore it Best?

Jennifer Lopez wore an A.L.C. navy & white striped maxi dress at the Dolphins vs New England Patriots football game in Miami on December 6, 2009. We remember Rihanna wearing the same dress dress in August. The two singers both paired their long, flowy dresses with big-framed sunglasses.

Who Wore it Best?

Georgina Chapman wore a lovely strapless satin dress (from her own line, Marchesa) to an event on July 25, 2009 in Los Angeles. Susan Lucci liked the look enough to copy it for a gala in New York on October 26, 2009.

Who Wore it Best?

Aussie model Lara Bingle wore Louis Vuitton to an event for the brand on October 29, 2009 in Melbourne, Australia. Months earlier, Rihanna wore the same one to a gala at Cipriani in New York City. Predictably, the pop star paired it with lace-up black combat boots for an edgier look.

When comparing two things, better is the proper word. Best is reserved for 3 and more.

Might b e the same style, but it's not the same dress unless it's also the same color. Without checking the voting, I'd bet that Paltrow got the most votes. A study of colors showed that bright colors, erspecially red is favored over muted colors.

No one makes a big deal that 98 out of a hundred women cross-dress wearing the same wearing menswear on any given time the last 45 years, such as their feminist, fetish uniform of blue jeans, sneakers and a sweatshirt , so why the big deal when women dress feminine for a " rare " time ?

Of course Gwyneth looks way better - she actually looks like a woman instead of a stick-boy. She has boobs! Plus I agree with ennui (above) - Ripa is constantly fishing for compliments and staring at herself in the monitor....I miss Kathy Lee. I wonder what on earth will happen when Reeg is gone - God I hope he is not replaced by the other ego-maniac Mark!

Kelly looks the best.........also her personality shines thru. She is a doll. I love watching her with Regis with my morning coffee. She is so talented and can do anything, and do it well.

Good grief...neither look better. How stupid and ignorant we are. Are we going to start having contests like this? Wake up people. Get a life. People should be accepted and appreciated for who they are, not what they look like. This kind of question encourages such shallow people.

Personally, I found that most of the dresses were ugly, especially when they are too short, have a balloon hem, no nylons and horrible gladiator shoes. If I had the money, I'd want to have channel and dior.

Gwyneth has better thigh, calf muscles and knees.
But my vote goes to Kelly for best wear of the dress.
REASON: The dress is designed to swirl at a quick turn.
Much like the swirl of a ballroom dancers dress.
By wearing the dress longer at mid-knee, the effect happens.

The self-deprecating and funny Kelly by far. Boring Gwyneth looks like she's wearing dress 3 sizes too small.

An earth shattering piece of ego driven news that will no doubt have women the world over spending to make Beckham richer! The inane and unimportant is alive and very well.

The two of them always look great as they do in this dress. The only problem I would have if they both paid a lot of money for a specially designed dress only to have everyone else in it.

I think Gwenyth looks better. She actually has a shape. Kelly, while toned, is too toned and looks manish. She also looks like a little girl in the dress. Another factor, is the actual photo. Kelly is POSING, while Gwenyth is in MOTION. To be fair, each shot should be a POSE.
