Katy Perry Vs. Miley Cyrus: Battle of the Silver Dresses at the 2012 Oscars

Image
Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus made quite the statement at Elton John's 2012 Oscars viewing party in their silver dresses. Both ladies looked stunning, but who wore it better? Katy Perry The "Part of Me" singer wore a striking Blumarine dress , complete with black and silver swirls, and a sheer silver neckline. This dress was the perfect combination of striking, but tasteful. The pattern was eye-catching without being overpowering. I liked the contrast between the clean black lines and the silver theme. I'm not a fan of the one-shoulder dresses (ie. Emma Stone's red number), so I was also glad that Katy stuck to a simple, figure-flattering, symmetrical cut. Katy's hairstyle was both glamorous and shocking. The style itself was sleek and straight, but that bright blue certainly jazzed it up! Miley Cyrus Miley looked stunning in her Robert Cavalli number. Considering her sometimes controversial past wardrobe choices, I was surprised to see how classy she looked. ...
