Britney Spears vs. Khloe Kardashian — Fashion Faceoff

Khloe Kardashian is the new girl on "The X Factor," but she's already making a play to become the best-dressed woman on the show! On Monday night, she and one of the show's judges, Britney Spears, donned strikingly similar frocks when they attended the bash for the singing competition's finalists at The Bazaar restaurant inside the SLS Hotel in L.A. Both ladies chose a simple LBD with minimal accessories as they mingled with other personalities from the show, such as Mario Lopez, L.A. Reid, and Demi Lovato, who wisely sported red for the occasion. It's time for a special "X Factor" edition of ... who wore it best?!

Spears, 30, wore a long-sleeved, high-necked black number with a zipper down each side and scalloped edges along the bottom. The singer added black gladiator heels and not much else to her simple look.

Kardashian, 28, opted for a long-sleeved, turtleneck LBD that really played up her long legs. Metallic pointed heels, drop earrings, and bright lipstick completed her ensemble.

This is one competition that's easy to judge. While I do like Spears' zipper detailing, the length of her dress isn't nearly as flattering as that of her statuesque competitor. Kardashian has complained that a lot of people think she's huge because, at 5'10", she seems large when you put her next to her more petite sisters Kim and Kourtney. But a style like this lets her use her height to her advantage! Kardashian also earns props for adding a much-needed pop of color to her look with her lipstick. I say that the winner of this "X Factor" showdown is ... Khloe Kardashian! Do you agree?

Kristen Stewart Bares Toned Midriff, Shows Cleavage at On the Road Screening

Kristen Stewart Bares Toned Midriff, Shows Cleavage at On the Road ScreeningWhat a vixen! 

Kristen Stewart looked like a knockout at the AFI Fest Presented by Audi screening of On the Road at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood Nov. 3. With her hair pulled back into a ponytail, the 22-year-old actress revealed her toned midriff in a cleavage-baring Balenciaga ensemble. Stewart completed her look with black Christian Louboutin heels. "The outfit was a mature look for her," an onlooker tells Us Weekly. "She looked really pretty."

When Stewart and her costars Amy Adams (in Dolce & Gabbana) and Garrett Hedlund (in Prada) hit up the Audi and Stella Artois sponsored afterparty at the Roosevelt, the Twilight star changed into a more comfortable look: a sheer tee (which exposed her black bra), a leather jacket and Seven jeans.
Inside the soiree, Stewart's boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, 26, was "being social with lots of different people," an attendee tells Us. "He seemed like he was letting Kristen do her thing since it was her film and she had to schmooze with industry people and friends."

Though Stewart was caught cheating with her married Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders in July, she and Pattinson have since reconciled. "He started thinking nobody else would understand his life," a Pattinson pal told Us in September. "His rational voice told him not to toss a three-year relationship for one infidelity."

Earlier this week, the on-again loves began jointly promoting The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2.

Halle Berry vs. Miranda Kerr — Fashion Faceoff

Gorgeous Oscar-winning actress Halle Berry has often taken on the role of model. Her earliest acting gig was playing a model on the show "Living Dolls," a 1989 "Who's the Boss?" spin-off that only lasted for 12 episodes, and she's continued to strike poses in photo shoots for countless magazine spreads and for Revlon ads. Today, however, she'd better get ready for battle against someone who's one of the most successful models in the world: Miranda Kerr, the Victoria's Secret model that ranked No. 7 on Forbes magazine's latest list of the highest paid models. According to the list, which came out in July, the leggy Australian raked in $4 million between May 2011 and May 2012. One of Kerr's wardrobe changes during that busy year include Roland Mouret's Galaxy dress in black — the exact garment that sometimes-model Berry chose 18 months later. It's time for a particularly tough round of … who wore it best?!

Miranda Kerr (Joe Kohen/Getty Images)
Berry, 46, rocked the frock at Variety's annual Power of Women event in Beverly Hills on October 5. The "Cloud Atlas" star was honored at the fete for her work with The Jennesse Center, a domestic violence organization in South Los Angeles. Berry emphasized her tiny waist by adding a black belt to the look, and wore diamond earrings and black pumps by Jimmy Choo.

Kerr, 29, debuted the dress at NYC's Tribeca Film Festival, where she was supporting her movie star husband Orlando Bloom, in April 2011. The brunette beauty pulled back her tresses, and donned the design with a Lanvin bag and hot pink pumps by Christian Louboutin.

So how do the competitors size up? Berry was wise to add a belt, but I wish her dress was a little shorter. Meanwhile, Kerr's bright lipstick and heels added a pop of color to an otherwise dark ensemble, yet she could have done without the shoulder bag. I say Kerr might take Berry down on the runways, but Berry is the winner of this particular fashion battle. Do you agree?

Does Christina Aguilera’s Fragrance Ad Whittle Her Down?

Take a peek at Voice vixen Christina Aguilera looking outlandishly flirty in the current ad for her fragrance, Royal Desire. Wait--on the other hand, perhaps take a peek at her looking outlandishly fake.

christinaperfume
The photo of Aguilera, in which she appears much thinner than normal and--still worse--distorted at certain angles, has been attracting attention for what appears to be sheer Photoshop abuse. It's not a new shot--the perfume was originally introduced last year, and the campaign photo was reportedly taken two years ago, but the recent resurfacing of the ad in Us Weekly has fans scratching their heads. Aguilera's skeletal frame in the ad still doesn't quite match up to anything she's looked like in the past few years.
Here's a photo of her from mid-2010 to compare with, where she is certainly slim, but still not as thin as the ad's image. What do you think?
Photo: Donna Ward
Popular women's-interest blog Jezebel takes a few snarky shots at the ad, crowing the headline "Christina Aguilera's Bones Mangled In Terrible Photoshop Incident!" and noting that the singer's extended arm is "bent at a strange angle" and "has a zillion varying widths," while the other arm "looks like it might have two elbows." Ouch.
Fan response on Twitter seemed mostly upset that Xtina would allow such distortion on her ad. "This makes me so mad! Why do they mess with us normal girls?" wondered one fan, while another lamented "Why would you Photoshop those beautiful curves?" Still other fans questioned why the star is even using photos that are clearly out of date. "Couldn't afford a new photoshoot Christina?" asked one.
However--there is a video ad for the perfume as well. In it, Aguilera does appear to be quite svelte. However, it's hard to ignore the criticism pointed at the odd touchups the print ad seems to have sustained.

Aguilera, who has taken some criticism for her weight in recent months, told People this month that she's fine with her figure. "I embrace my body, and I embrace everything about myself," the 31-year-old mother of one asserted.

Britney Spears reveals the one article of clothing that she refuses to wear

Britney Spears (Ben Watts/Lucky)We'll admit that part of the reason we tune in to "The X Factor" is to see what Britney Spears is wearing. Through the years she's been known to get people buzzing over some of her fashion choices (the barefoot bathroom pit stops come to mind), but now seated alongside Simon Cowell at the judges table, it's like our little Brit-Brit is a whole new stylish woman. This extends to her new cover shoot in Lucky, in which she also talks fashion from a down-home perspective — from how she lives in sweatpants when she's hidden away at home to the one article of clothing that she absolutely, positively refuses to wear.

Britney's Favorite Things
Opening up about her fiancé, talent agent Jason Trawick, who popped the question last December, the 30-year-old tells the magazine the reason he's "the one" for her is simply because he's "sweet." Asked to cite an example, Spears was clothesminded, saying, "He says he doesn't mind that I sit around in sweats all the time." While the "Hold It Against Me" singer is currently obsessed with "big, stupid earrings, like with loops and feathers," she also reveals the one thing you'll never catch her wearing. "I never wear socks," says Spears. "I hate socks."And shoes are a whole other matter. Let's just say she probably doesn't have an accurate estimate of the size of her shoe collection. Seeing as she just purchased an $8.5 million house, we'll guess she has a closet that you and your immediate family could comfortably reside in. However, when the Louisiana native is asked how many pairs of shoes she owns, she replies with a "terrified" look and says, "I don't know. A lot." Pressed for a more specific answer, she stammers for a minute, "I don't know, 50," then quickly adds, "Is that not enough?"
Michelle Obama's 100 Best Looks
As far as her fashion icons, Spears lists two modern-day trendsetters: Jennifer Lopez, who she calls a "classic beauty," and Sarah Jessica Parker, because her "looks are really bright and funky and young." And the pop star gets especially candid about her two makeup essentials. "I really just wear mascara all the time," she says. "And powder, because I have zits."

But life at home for Spears isn't just sitting around in sweatpants with zit cream on. She tells Lucky that when she has down time, "I work out. I swim. I play with the kids, I cook and I garden. We play Connect Four. We play Candy Land. Last night we read The Night Pirates." And do her sons, Preston, 7, and Jayden, 6, understand her stardom? "They're in the middle right now of trying to figure it out," she says. "They try to figure out where I go when I go to film 'X Factor.' They're like, 'Mommy's going off to be a superhero.' And then I get back, and they just see me as Mommy. And then when I'm back working on the show, they say, 'Oh, Mommy's a superhero again!'"

However, her rise to fame hasn't been an easy one — as we've seen again recently with the ongoing court battle between her shady ex-manager Sam Lufti and her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears — and she doesn't have any plans to push her sons follow into showbiz. "If there was something they really wanted to do and were passionate about, I'd encourage them to follow their dreams," she says. "But I'd also be there behind the curtain saying, 'No, don't go out there.'" As for her own ups and downs, she has no regrets. "I think most people are their own worst critics," she says. "I'm a perfectionist. I want things done a certain way. I am hard on myself but not regretful."
