Olivia Wilde, Paris Hilton and Stephanie Pratt Wear Same French Connection Dress - Who Wore It Best?

Whoever said stay away from horizontal stripes wasn't speaking to Hollywood's current crop of rail-thin starlets.

French Connection's black-and-white striped dress has made the rounds among the California girls, starting with Olivia Wilde, who wore the graphic number to a store event for the retailer back in February.

The "House" hottie, who was recently voted sexiest actress of 2010 by Victoria's Secret, kept all eyes on the stripes, opting for natural makeup, untouched hair, and no jewelry.

Blonde reality stars, Paris Hilton and Stephanie Pratt, mimicked Wilde's simple but chic style -- both dressing up the casual T-shirt dress with sexy black pumps and super straight locks.

Hilton added extra accessories to her look -- shocker! -- including hoop earrings, a clutch, black tights, a headband, and black nails.

All three ladies definitely rocked the tight frock, but who wore it better? Vote now and then check out which celeb was recently spotted wearing a skimpy horizontally striped bikini.

Paris Hilton was then seen several months later, wearing the same dress at the Charlotte Ronson and JCPenney Spring Cocktail Jam on May 4, 2010. "The Hills" star Stephanie Pratt, was recently spotted in the dress at the preview party for Lia Sophia's Ianaya II jewelry collection on July 14, 2010.

"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?

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.

Ms. Schickner:
How wonderful that you have a column.....please refer to your English writing rules. When comparing MORE than two of anything, the superlative is used...so since ther were three women wearing the same dress, the headline should read: Who wore it best? If there were only two the wording would be: Who wore it better?
Thanks.

I'm going with Paris Hilton she looks more fashion chic. Olivia and Stephanie look really dull not bringing it!

Deirdre: So you only read this to check the grammar? Don't have a clue who the Pratt girl is and I don't know squat about fashion but I know what I like. SO, Pratt doesn't have the waist for those stripes (they make her waist look really thick) and she should stand up straight. Paris has a model's figure and always looks great. The black leggings step it up a notch to a dressier, evening look and Olivia's bare (terrific) legs keep it casual but HOT.

Well since Paris is more at home in strip and has wear them before and the other two haven't, I guess she wears them better. LOL

In scrolling through many of the comparison photos, I have to say that most of the women do not do justice to their outfits because: They're wearing a size too small, they haven't been taught how to stand and pose, or the picture looks like crap. (What's with the huge head zoomed down to the stick legs look in runway photography? Do the subjects think it makes them look skinnier?)

Paris at least accesorized the outfit, the others don't even have jewelry on and chose the most boring shoes ever. The correct way to complete the outfit would be like paris for winter.. or for summer, a bright colored bag or a bright colored shoe.
Paris at least knows what an 'outfit' is, in my opionion she wore it best.

I think Paris pulled it off best because she added on the black leggings. The leggings complete the very short dress.

For the love of CRAP! Could you all please stop referring to some of these talentless hacks and waste of time/space/air like Stephanie Pratt et al as stars!!! Good Grief! These nobodies appear on a show that is as brainless as the audience that watches them and that automatically gives them star credentials? The qualities of what make a star today have really hit rock bottom.

True blondes with their fair skin are goddesses. They are true thouroughbreds. That chinese looking girl olivia has way too fat of legs for her body, even that pose can't hide the fact they are huge tree trunks

You ppl are way to critical, and a little tip check your spelling b4 you add your comment! Since they all have different body types they should not be judged for that , simply for the fact THAT NO ONE IS PERFECT!! But the sad fact is, some of you seem to think you are!

Um, Jorge, there is no way in hell Stephanie Pratt is naturally that blonde (her roots show on a regular basis), and I assume Paris bleaches her hair lighter as well. So there goes your ridiculous natural goddess theory. As for the "Chinese" looking one, at least Olivia has something to her figure, rather than dressing a toothpick (or dare I say chop stick) in a prison shirt ...

I think the dress is nothing special, and I am sick of reality stars, with no redeeming qualities or discernible intelligence, regularly getting time in the spotlight. Time to just go away! And take the Kardashians with you ...

Jorge, Are you dumb or blind? None of them are true blondes. Paris pulled it off with those black leggings.

Personally I can't stand this particular dress. I mean really is this the best they can do??!! If I had to make a choice on this unflattering dress lacking style and character, I would pick Paris Hilton because she gave it a little extra by adding the leggings to the outfit. And speaking of accessories, ummmm where are they? These young ladies need to watch HSN and QVC and do something to add something to their look! I won't walk out the door without all my jewelry and I'm 67 yo!!!

Paris wins this one easily. I think the black nylons put her in the front. Bare legs in this dress just don't cut it.

I think Paris wore it the best,i love how she accesorised with black pantyhose and the bag. Plus she had the best posture and is the most fabulous.
Stephanie is a pretty girl but absolute horrible posture and she is wearing the dress, the dress isnt wearing her.
Olivia is also pretty and but she is also just wearing the dress and its not wearing her and with a stripped dress like that, you dont want too busy of accesories but something to make it look more glamerous and give it a good edge. Over all, paris work it!!!!
