Wendi Deng Murdoch vs Bella Thorne in Rodarte

Back in March, Wendi Deng Murdoch, wife of Rupert Murdoch, was photographed in this simple yet very chic Rodarte dress whilst attending ‘The New York Observer’s 25th Anniversary‘ in NYC. Thrown over her shoulder (note the way to wear blazers and jackets this season)was a tuxedo blazer that set off her strappy blue heels and matching croc clutch. Looking quite the lady of the moment, Wendi kept her jewels and makeup to a minimal, knocking years off her modest age of 44.

Film star Bella Thorne was recently captured in the same dress. Strutting her stuff when she attended the ’20th annual race to erase MS‘ (Los Angeles), looking sophisticated and elegant. With a fresh face, loose corkscrew hair and dainty touches of jewellery, the dress showed off her trim silhouette and emphasised her tiny waist. The black and ivy green tones worked wonders with her pale complexion.

The Ivy trellis print sleeveless Rodarte dress is available for £1800. If you’re after something just as chic but one that costs a lot less, why not try this Ivy Print silk cocktail dress  for only £250?

Now, time to vote. Today I’m favouring Bella Thorne! I think her look is effortless yet stylishly understated as playing down the accessories makes the dress a statement piece. What do you think? Let me know by voting for your favourite look!
