So who wore this Alexander Wang dress best?

It’s every girl’s nightmare. You spend all day getting ready - choosing the perfect dress, picking the shoes to match, perfecting hair and make up for the occasion.

Then, as you waltz into the party feeling a million dollars, you bump straight into a rival- wearing the same dress. Suddenly a million dollars feels like a million lira - especially if said rival looks better in the dress than you do.

So while Paris and Rihanna, both in their own individual way a darling of the social circuit (and the fashion world), weren’t spotted at the same party in the matching dresses, they were both pictured out in the same city wearing the same dress.

Paris Hilton, 28, last night out with current beau Doug Reinhardt chose the strapless Alexander Wang corset dress to watch the Rock of Ages musical on New York’s Broadway after appearing on the David Letterman show.

But she’d been pipped to the fashion post. If she’d been checking the news, she might have seen 19-year-old Rihanna stepping out in Manhatten, New York, two weeks ago, dressing to the nines to visit the apartment of rapper and producer Kanye West, with whom she is rumoured to be romantically linked.

For a mere mortal, a contemporary rocking the same dress as us in a city the size of New York zone wouldn’t be a problem. But for international stars like these girls, all the world’s a stage - and as far as media coverage is concerned, it’s the same stage.

Fortunately for Paris and Rihanna, both are, as Paris would say, hot, and both wore the dress well.

But who wore it best?

Paris went for a statement yoke necklace, round-toed platforms and matching half-moon clutch. Her hair was left loose, but the bouncy, glossy lengthy bob in high-maintenance blonde speaks of plenty of time spent in the hairdresser’s chair.

Rihanna let the dress speak for itself, eschewing jewellery, simply quiffing her hair into an enormous bouffant bun on top of her head, and throwing a low-slung silver bag over her shoulder.
