We spy with our discerning eyes two ladies, much vaunted for their sense of style, wearing the same dress in two different events. Who do you think did more justice to the leathery goodness that is this Lanvin one-shoulder dress?

Jennifer Lopez added more glam to the dress by cinching it at the waist with a thick leather belt and throwing on a statement necklace for good measure.

The addition of the belt and necklace gave the dress a more upscale vibe, which was fitting for the formal event. She finished it off with an updo and accessorized with black pumps and a black clutch.

On the other hand, Rihanna let the dress do the talking and opted not to pile on accessories.

She also chose a nondescript pair of nude-tone pumps for that low-key glamour. We think it’s an outfit worthy of a night out. Nothing too glitzy and just plain classy.

We think both ladies did a great job styling their Lanvin dresses for the events they attended. But what about you? Which celebrity do you think had a keener eye for style?
