Taiwanese actress, Shu Qi, attended the 68th Annual Cannes Film Festival to promote her latest film, The Assassin. She graced the movie’s photocall wearing an off-shoulder frock cinched at the waist with a thick leather belt.
What made us do a double take is the realization that we have seen the dress, which is from the Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2015 collection, worn earlier this year by someone else – Chloe Grace Moretz.
Now is the time to decide. Who do you think wore the dress better?
1. Shu Qi in Off-Shoulder Dress

The Taiwanese actress looked elegant and fresh in the dress that she styled with a pair of nude-tone pumps and drop earrings.
2. Chloe Grace Moretz in Black Lace Dress
Chloe Grace Moretz attended the Vanity Fair Party wearing an Alexander McQueen Pre-Fall 2015 black lace dress with mini flowers, a tiered skirt, bell accent sleeves, and a black leather waist belt at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on February 22, 2015, in Beverly Hills, California (Credit: IPA / WENN / KIKA / FayesVision / Dave Bedrosian / Future Image / Brian To)
The 18-year-old tastemaker wore it with a pair of t-strap sandals, a necklace, earrings, and red lips.
Who wore it better? We think the dress suited Shu Qi better. It aged Chloe a little. On the other hand, the younger actress styled it better. The nude-tone pair of pumps that Shu Qi wore just didn’t work on the somber color palette of the dress.
