Remember when Emmy Rossum played Bulma and Jamie Chung played Chi-Chi in the 2009 live-action adaptation of the hit anime Dragonball Evolution? We don’t either.

But we do remember these two ladies being fashion week regulars, so it’s not startling to see them occupying the front seats of the successful Monique Lhuillier F/W 2014 show.

Aside from the said movie, these two had something in common during New York Fashion Week Fall 2014: their white lacy outfits for the Monique Lhuillier show!

The most important thing to remember when styling a white lace dress is to choose the right undergarments. It’s important to avoid underwear with visible panty lines. You should consider wearing a slip under the dress to prevent the lace from becoming see-through. This will ensure a smooth, seamless look and help the dress maintain its elegant appearance.

Jamie Chung and Emmy Rossum opted for white lace and chose sleek pumps to cap off their looks. They look almost identical, so we can’t help but do a face-off.

So, ladies, be the judge. Who wore white better?

Once Upon a Time actress Jamie Chung wore a classic white sheath dress. The dress may look simple and understated, but its embellished details are more than enough to make it worthy of keeping. Jamie went for minimal styling, only going for skinny rings and a low updo for a fresh vibe.

Emmy Rossum, on the other hand, wore a sheer lace top and a matching lace skirt.

The 27-year-old Shameless actress took the elegance up a notch by choosing gold-tone accessories, putting her hair up in an elaborate hairdo, and choosing a bold lip color for contrast.

We think it’s a tie! Both looks are spot-on. We love Jamie Chung’s pared-down styling, but we also fancy Emmy Rossum’s vintage-inspired getup.
