Who Wore it Better? Trina vs. Eva in Gryphon’s Embroidered Bandleader Jacket

Fashion Bomb celebs have been loving the military trend, and Trina and Eva Marcille are no exception! Both ladies were spied wearing this $645 double breasted embellished epaulet jacket by Gryphon:

Who Wore it better Eva Trina

While Trina wore the fun jacket in gray with a pair of blink and you miss them shorts and thigh high boots, Eva chose to rock the jacket in a cream color with jeans, a t-shirt, and camel thigh highs.

Style Showdown : Prince vs. Rihanna

Fashion Week is over here in Paris, and it’s time to sit back and reflect on the fabulous fashion on and off the runway.

Ubercelebrities Rihanna and Prince (among others) were in the City of Love for the festivities, and both came out in their best designer sponsored duds to sit front row. Rihanna has been said to take slight style inspiration from Purple Rainman Prince, so we thought it would be fun to have the two trendsetters go head to head in a style showdown.

Who turned it out the best for Paris Fashion Week?

Prince Rihanna Style Showdown

For the Chanel Show, both went for a light color palette with Prince opting for head to toe gray ruffled glory and Rih representing in white and light blue with pearl accents…

Prince Yves Saint Laurent Rihanna Jean Paul Gaultier

The two favored black, with Prince rocking a gold sequined black jacket for Yves Saint Laurent, and Rihanna in black collared cut out top for Jean Paul Gaultier…

And both brought their short slick cuts and dark sunglasses to the front rows of John Galliano and Karl Lagerfeld.

Both were hot, but who shut it down?

Rip the Runway: Dior vs Bebe

I was in love with the Bebe Cassie Mesh Cutout Sandal the first time I saw it about a month ago. Loved it until I saw the original: Dior’s Black Leather and Mesh Platform Slingback.

Bebe-vs-Dior2

Dior’s version is definitely more chic than Bebe’s.  Although, I have to admit that the silver piping around the platform of Bebe’s version adds some edge.  Bebe’s version only costs $149, but the Dior’s will set you back $632.  Which would you rock?
