When we saw Jamie-Lynn Sigler wearing her gold dress to a Factory Girl screening in January, we thought how adorable and easy-to-wear the frock was. But when we saw Lindsay Lohan wearing an identical dress out on the town in L.A., we thought it’s a fashion faceoff! But, with a little bit of digging (actually a lot of digging and emails later), we found out that while the dresses look the same, they are actually by two different designers! Lindsay’s dress is by ABS, while Jamie-Lynn’s is by small designer label Fighting Eel — but are virtually the same, down to the shoulder seats and ruching above the bust. Well, in the name of a good fashion faceoff, we say it’s close enough to ask the question: Who wears it better? Lindsay or Jamie-Lynn?

With her porcelain skin and big brown eyes, Black Snake Moan star Christina Ricci has always had a certain untouchable doll-like quality. So, we were pleasantly surprised to see how sexy and down-to-earth she looked with her new straight bangs at the Samsonite party she recently hosted in New York City. But, the bangs definitely alter the shape of her face and her look.

I loved the maroon printed top Lauren Conrad wore in Thursday’s StarTracks. Can you advise where to buy it? Thanks!- Mary

Teen Vogue fashion intern and The Hills star Lauren Conrad has developed a great personal style — and the best part is that her wardrobe tends to be within our reach. The patterned shirt she wore over black skinny jeans to the Oakley Women’s Eyewear launch party in L.A. is no exception. This top is Velvet by Graham & Spencer exclusively for Anthropologie and can be bought at anthropologie.com for $138.

Even with her amazing Lorraine Schwartz bling, we couldn’t help staring at Jennifer Lopez’s retro shades worn to a recent photo-call promoting her new album Como Ama Una Mujer in Spain. With a little digging, we realized that her orange and black candy striped frame sunglasses were from none other than pal (and stylist) Victoria Beckham’s DVB sunglass line! Retailing abroad for around $300, the sunglasses are described on Posh’s website as “fabulous and flamboyant, with more than a wink to the ’70s eccentric, these candy striped frames will ensure the wearer stays beautifully unique.” Sounds just like J. Lo! Tell us: Would you wear J. Lo’s sunglasses?
