Juliette Lewis in Christian Siriano

She looks lovely, and like the most sprightly bride ever. What I like about hers is that the feathered skirt is tiered, which gives it a lot of visual interest and a hefty ounce of flounce. Which I appreciate. I mean, I AM Team Brenda Walsh, after all.

And this is a bit dull by comparison. Actually, I saw this one first and had the zzz reaction then, too, so it might just be dull full-stop. It reads a little old on her, somehow, especially when Nina is someone who in the past pulled off a lot of more adventurous stuff that was lively and cute and unexpected. I wonder if this is a studied attempt to de-CW herself with Serious Things now that she's not on The Vampire Diaries anymore and wants to graduate to heftier projects.

My beef with Juliette: I'm not sure the crop top is quite right. I THINK it's that, in the long shot, the chevron pattern makes it look like it's shaping her boobs strangely, but in close-up it almost looks baggy underneath. It's not as crisp as it needs to be.

But HERS is baggy throughout, in a weird shapeless way, and her hair isn't as polished. So.

My personal winner is Juliette, because my beefs with it are fewer, and also, she just looked like she was having more fun in it. Maybe that shouldn't count, but sometimes I just can't help myself. It's part of how you Sell It, and she's acing that angle.

CFDAs Fug/Fab Face-Off: Nina Dobrev vs. Juliette Lewis
Juliette is in Christian Siriano; Nina is wearing Lela Rose. One is in something youthful, the other in something a bit stodgy on her. But the common denominator is the feathery skirt, so in the spirit of Mad Max let's throw them in the Thunderdome and see which one emerges. [poll id="12546"] [Photos: Getty]
