Fashion Faceoff: Kim Kardashian vs. … Rachael Ray?

06/25/2012 at 06:00 PM ET

Kim Kardashian, Rachael Ray
Startraks; FilmMagic

File this under totally random: Rachael Ray and Kim Kardashian wore the same black Marc Bouwer dress.

The reality star first donned the curve-hugging number last year on the Late Show with David Letterman. Kanye‘s main squeeze sexed up the look with a few of her signatures, including bombshell hair, black platforms and smokey eye makeup.

Television chef Ray — who wore the dress to the Daytime Emmy Awards this weekend — opted for a pair of T-strap sandals and a graphic clutch to complete her look.

The dress in question isn’t all that unexpected for Kardashian (who’s a Faceoff regular), but it’s definitely not something we’d expect the usually demure Ray to wear. So you tell us: Who wore it better? Vote in our poll below!

How is a dress that comes to your knees a mini?

corinne on

In what world does this qualify as a mini?

Mikesgirl on

I hate to say it because I don’t like her as a TV personality but I almost always pick KK when it’s one of these fashion face-offs. She is always dressed nicely, it may be her only talent.

susan on

At least rachel looks like a lady. KK is wearing the dress so tightly her boobs are coming out. She looks like a two bit hooker!

Hanne Raymond on

The question was who rocked this dress, NOT who do you like the best. KK whether you like her or not, ROCKED THIS DRESS!!!!!!!

meghan on

Kim looks like a prostitute. And not one you have to save up for.

jenna on

neither? its just not that great of a dress.

Ashlee on

You can’t even compare the two!

Kim looks better. She actually looks like she had the dress altered to fit her body. Rachel looks like she bought it and just threw it on (which is fine for us regular people…lol).

Camille on

Definitely Rachael. Hate the dress but she looks much more classy. Kim just looks trampy. Always gotta have her big boobs sticking out.

Kata on

Second story of this loser Kim K in a day. This is exactly why I will never subscribe to your magazine again. Get over your obsession already.

Ryry on

Rachel looks better. Kim’s “bolt-ons” look embarrassing.

Jizza on

THEY BOTH WORE IT HORRIBLY!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH!!!!!!!!

Tessa on

Did anyone else pick Rachael simply because Kim drives you nuts? LOL :)

juie7112 on

BIG BUTT cannot compare to Rachael Ray. Rachael is a cutie!!

Babs on

I personally, am so tired of hearing/seeing Kim Kardashian anything, that Rachael Ray could be wearing a flour sack and she would be more appealing. At least she has talent. Kim Kardashian is a TV “Personality”. Nothing….

kavid on

They both look amazing. I always adore Kim in almost everything that she wears, but I have to give this one to Rachel. I think Rachel’s hair color absolutely compliments the dress, as well as her t-strapped shoes.

Kelly on

That dress must be very forgiving to bigger girls, or their each wearing two pairs of Spanx.

Rawr on

Kim looks better.point blank. I think it’s really dumb to just choose Rachel because you like her better…the question was who WORE it better not who do you LIKE better.

Harley on

My own personal opinion, there is nothing ” KK ” wears I find attractive or ladylike. Rachel wears this dress very well, and though it’s not my personal taste or style she pulls it off. Way to go Rachel!

Kara on

Drssing nicely isn’t Kim’s only talent. Someone gives it to her and she puts it on. She has none.

Why does the headline suggest it’s weird for rachel ray to be in a fashion face off?? I’ve got to admit, Kim looks a tad better, but i didn’t have the heart to vote for her LOL.

jenn on

The question for me is not ‘who wore it better?’ but ‘why is it worn at all?’

Bex on

It isn’t that KK doesn’t look nice, but Rachel looks a heck of a lot classier. KK always looks like her style trend is hooker chic, and that just isn’t attractive.

Janey on

Kim ALWAYS looks like a two bit Ho :)

lalalanna on

Neither of them looks good in this dress, the dress would look better on a tall slim woman. The length cut both of them off and Rachel’s shoes are horrid!

Alyssa on

i think kim rocked it because it looks too big on rachel to me

amy on

I picked Rachael because I am sick and tired of seeing Kim’s “assets” all the time!

Human on

I am tired of this worthless stuff. Waiting for a time that these drama will go away.

Human on

Drama

VLC on

Personally I would like to say “ta-ta” to Kim’s omnipresent ta-tas. Of course, if you’ve got something to sell, it pays to advertise.

Rhonda on

I am no fan of Rachel Ray’s but she looks better in the dress. Kim’s breasts look horrible!

g8grl77 on

RR looks shlumpy in that dress…it’s very sloppy on her. I’m not a KK fan by any stretch but she definitely looks much better in this dress than RR.

nicole on

Rachael should have had it shortened a bit, then it would have looked better

Kim NOT Kardashian on

I don’t have an issue with either of them personally. I’m not a fan of the dress, but if forced to choose would choose RR. I do NOT like RR’s shoes, however – who didn’t tell her that they’re 3 sizes too big?? Reminds me of a little girl trying to play with her mommy’s shoes :)

Danielle on

It’s like comparing oranges and lemons, Rachel lemons are just that….lemons, and Kim oranges are just grapefruits…..both are o.k.

Topaz on

Rachael wore it better. Boobs shouldn’t be an accessory.

Heather on

I can not STAND anything about Kim K. She sickens me, as does her looks. Many people think she’s gorgeous but I think she looks like a wax, completely overly made up mannequin and it actually is extremely tiring of seeing her with not a hair out of place, dressed like a prostitute (never classy looking like Halle Berry)-she’s just so boring to look 100% flaw free (not one strand of hair out of pl;ace) and I hate the way she always tilts her head down and looks up for pictures-get a new pose.

Nire on

Actually, Rachel. Kim looks like a porn star. Oh wait…

Ganan on

KK looks like a hooker (as usual), Rachel looks classy like a lady…….

Ally on

I like Rachael’s bag, but not her shoes. They bith look nice, I like the dress.

Anabel on

Come on now! Everyone knows Kim, as much as we can’t stand her, looks way better in this dress. Kim’s shoes look better with this dress too. Rachael is boxy and the dress does nothing for her.

Sharon on

Pretty dress, I don’t think it is right to have this kind of article.. Who wears a dress better etc. both woman look great and leave it at that.

My Thoughts on

Kim Kardashian looks ridicules with her over inflated, BIG, round as a balloon boobs showing through her top. Everything about her is fake and false. She looks like a walking plastic woman.

elaine on

Kim wore it better, but neither wore it well. It’s a challenging dress. Kim looks cute and curvy but the breast situation looks cheap / icky. Rachael looks a little frumpy with those wide top panels and she’s cuter than that. And, how aweful is it for a chef to be compared to a model in the same dress … my heart goes out to ya, Rach.

Mickey on

Kim looks like a cheap hooker….Rachel….looks like the classy lady she is!

vampkel on

looking great as usual kimmie!

vampkel on

looking great kimmie!

kika on

whether you like her or not, KIM ROCKED THIS DRESS!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO KIM

Candcie on

I think Kim wore the dress while the dress wore Rachel. I don’t like Rachel’s shoes with the dress and her hair or her makeup could’ve been a little more va-va-voom. It’s too sassy a dress for it to look so demure on Rachel.

karen on

Where in this story does in say it is a mini ? NO WHERE. Kim looks better because it is her style. Rachel Ray does not suit this style.

maya on

Not a Kardashian fan, but Kim wins this hands down (although it’s far from being a ‘mini’). Rachel Ray looks frumpy and her shoes are too large.

Kris on

Rachel Ray’s shoes don’t complement that dress, since it’s patterned, and she has no chest to accentuate in that dress. It’s just not a flattering look for her. Kim is overdone, but what else is new.

raveena on

If not for her boobs, I would say that Kim looked better in the dress. It’s much more altered and fitting (in areas other than her chest). Her boobs bursting out like that just makes her whole outfit look very cheap, which I don’t like. Rachel’s dress looks a lot more baggier and doesn’t really conform to her body, but she looks much more elegant. She isn’t being showy and the dress didn’t look racy on her. For that reason, I voted for Rachel.

kate on

I guess most people didn’t read the question, because I am appalled by the results!!! Do you honestly think Rachael Ray wore this better?? She picked old lady sandals to pair with a gorgeous dress!! the dress looks no where near as good as it does on Kim! why do people hate on Kim so badly?? she looks amazing and I find this to be a joke

coco on

rachel looks odd wearing that dress lol. like who is she trying to be, kim k? come on rachel. so not you. kim, your gorgeous!!!!

Amy on

With all of that money, you’d think Kim could hire a plastic surgeon who can do a more realistic looking boob job. They look someone rolled two spheres of Playdough and just stuck them there on her chest.
Regarding the dress, it isn’t flattering on either one.

Gina on

Meghan, Kim IS A PROSTITUTE!

kathryn torres on

Rachael Ray you look great, kim you’re starting to look like your mammy, stop the face lifts

amy on

to everyone commenting-it’s rachael,not rachel.

as for the dress,i think it looks better on rachael but i personally don’t like it all that much.

amy on

sorry i should have said “to everyone who spells her name rachel” in the last comment.

mg on

They have got to be kidding!
Kim is so gorgeous. That is not the type of dress that Rachel should wear ever! She is more sporty, the shoes looked clunky, and purse did not match at all!

Sandy on

Same dress? Did anyone else notice the hem is completely different. Could KK even walk in her dress?
