Lily Collins V Kristen Stewart: Snow White Style-Off!
Lily Collins and Kristen Stewart may play two very different Snow Whites (in Snow White And The Huntsman and Mirror Mirror respectively), but we couldn't help but notice that, when it comes to their wardrobes, there's more than a passing similarity... Who's the fairest?
Rex FeaturesThe Lace Race – Lily Collins
A flirty lace dress is a wardrobe must for fledgling stars. We adored the royal blue one that Lily wore to attend The Reporter’s Power 100 Women In Entertainment breakfast in December 2011.

Kristen Stewart’s lace hue of choice? Royal blue, natch. She wore this Stella McCartney mini with matchy matchy Barbara Bui heels to the Nickolodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
Winner: Round one to Kristen. The long sleeves, the waist-cinching belt and the off-the-face hair add up to a real fashion hit.
Rex FeaturesShades Of Red - Lily Collins
Phwoar! Every girl knows that red dresses are sexy enough to inspire songs of devotion and Lily, here at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, deserves no less than a Chris Rhea ditty in this fiery red number. Tousled hair and low-key grey heels kept the look young and fresh.

Kristen, however, took red to all new vampy (sorry) levels in this Doo.Ri dress, which she teamed with bouffant hair and black peep-toe pumps, at the premiere of The Runaways in LA in 2010.
Winner: Lily wins this one for us, just by looking so youthful and naturally sexy. Kristen’s look here is just a wee bit forced for our taste.

Lily sure does love her Mulberry. The actress wrapped up against the dessert chill at the label’s Firepit Party at Coachella 2012 in a chunky cream cardigan and turned-up indigo jeans.

But is it just us, or did Lily look right in her style comfort zone when she showed up to the Mulberry spring/summer 2012 after party in London in the exact same jeans and knit – seven months prior?
Winner: Lily. It's a close call, but we reckon her look is the full package, from the bag to the scarf and the no-fuss hair. Love!
Rex FeaturesFairytale Fantasy – Lily Collins
Proving she can more than hold her own against Hollywood – and fashion – heavyweights, Lily opted for an ultra-feminine, vintage-inspired lace overlay gown by Valentino dress paired with H. Stern earrings and rings for the 2012 Met Ball.
Rex FeaturesFairytale Fantasy – Kristen Stewart
Kristen and ballgowns may not sound like a natural fit, but it’s true – even this leather jacket-loving rock chick is guilty of indulging her inner six-year-old and floating onto the red carpet in a wow gown every now and then. The Oscar de la Renta confection that she wore to the Twilight Saga: New Moon premiere in LA was a particular favourite of ours.
Winner: Another gold for Kristen, who perfectly balances the froth of the dress with her own strong style signature.
Rex FeaturesCocktail Hour - Lily Collins
With her hair scraped back into a grown-up ‘do, smokey eyes and just a smattering of diamonds to finish her look, Lily looked ready to mingle with Hollywood’s heaviest hitters at a pre-Oscars dinner hosted by Julianne Moore in 2009. The metallic wrapping detail and gold heels gave the then-20-year-old Lily a polish that was beyond her years.

K-Stew also opted for a ruched cocktail dress, this time at our 2011 Glamour Women of the Year Awards. Hers was by Balmain. Its muted palette flattered her otherworldly complexion, while loose tousled hair lets her hold on to her rock chic vibe.
Winner: Kristen takes the prize for this look, for making a high octane look look so very low maintenance cool. (We saw it with our own eyes!)
Rex FeaturesBurberry Me - Lily Collins
Lily toughened up her pretty red carpet MO with a Burberry trench at the LA premiere of Legion in 2010. We love the use of a statement belt and fierce boots to add edge to her tea dress.

At the Burberry autumn/winter 2010/11 show in London, Kristen was a front row guest in a Burberry dress and satin trench. Sleek hair and smokey eyes completed her look.
Winner: For adding a fashion twist, Lily scoops this one.
Rex FeaturesGothic Girls - Lily Collins
There’s no doubt that Kristen has a stronger gothic pedigree (she is the star of a vampire film franchise), but Lily gave her a run for her money at the 2011 London premiere of Abduction, at which she wore a Versace dress and Louboutin heels.
Rex FeaturesGothic Girls - Kristen Stewart
We bet Edward would have approved of Kristen’s dark side vibe in this Chanel couture number, which she wore to the 2010 Met Ball in New York. The asymmetric neckline and shimmery organza skirt really added to the dress’ (and Kristen’s) quirky appeal.
Winner: We know Kristen’s got that whole angsty goth thing down pat, but we really like the way Lily doesn’t try so hard to look like a mistress of the night.
Rex FeaturesHervé, Hervé! - Lily Collins
In answer to the question of what to wear to New York Fashion Week for autumn/winter 2009, Lily chose a neon Hervé Léger dress, which she teamed with black opaques and matching patent accessories - putting a polite spin on a label that is not known for its subtlety.
Rex FeaturesHervé, Hervé! - Kristen Stewart
A month later, Kristen wore the same dress to the LA premiere of Adventureland. Both of the girls went for shiny black pumps and pulled-back hair, but Kris went tight-less and chose a girly make-up look. A brave move in LA, even in March.
Winner: It may have been scary cold in New York when Lily wore her Léger, but we think the tights and matchy-matchy accessories make the look seem a bit dated. So Kristen wins this round for upping the glamour factor, without taking it into the reams of tacky. Bravo.
Mulberry Blue – Lily Collins
Cute dress, Lil! La Collins raided the Mulberry rail and came up trumps in this printed blue day dress with bow-front flats for Mulberry’s starry barbecue during this year’s Coachella.

Kristen had already stolen this dress’ thunder, however, wearing it front row at Mulberry’s London show in September 2011 as she shared a catch up with Kate Moss. Talk about a making star debut!
Winner: It’s Kristen’s rock-inspired styling that does it for us this time – those boots give the girly cut a real high fashion-edge.
Rex FeaturesSnow White - Lily Collins
With her hair half-pulled back and dainty pearls in her ears, Lily looked positively angelic in her Chanel dress at the 2009 premiere of Coco Before Chanel in LA. Her black shoes and clutch stopped the look from becoming too cloud-like.
Rex FeaturesSnow White - Kristen Stewart
We’ve seen Kristen in a lot of one-shouldered dresses – well, when your limbs are this defined, why not? – and this Elie Saab couture number, which she wore to the Twilight: Eclipse premiere in LA in June 2010, was one of our favourites. With swept-back hair, a flash of colour on her nails and pale suede courts, this look is all K-Stew.
Winner: We. Just. Can’t. Choose. It’s a tie. Kristen makes white look rock ‘n’ roll, while Lily looks like butter wouldn’t melt. They’re both perfect.
