Chanel Iman versus Mia Wasikowska: Who wore the red dress best?

Popular amongst the celebrities at the Venice Film Festival, the colour red was once again a favourite this week. Two ladies in red, Mia Wasikowska and Chanel Iman, took the colour to a new level by showing us that the simpler the dress, the classier the look. Showcasing their amazing figures, these two stars looked romantic and elegant at two different red carpet events.
Globetrotter Mia Wasikowska epitomized effortless style last week at the Venice Film Festival in not one but two monochromatic dresses. But this young star showed us she could rock a brightly-coloured dress too. In Toronto last night for the TIFF 2013 premiere of Only Lovers Left Alive, Wasikowska wore a beautiful red sleeveless column gown by Christian Dior. Pairing her outfit with Brian Atwood heeled sandals, the actress looked statuesque in the form-fitting dress as she smiled to the cameras. Keeping things at a minimal, beauty-wise, Wasikowska wore a fresh, glowing face, neutral pink lips and a messy updo.
Meanwhile, in New York City before all the mayhem of NYFW began, the 2013 Couture Council Artistry of Fashion Award hosted a luncheon to honour Michael Kors. Amongst the stylish attendees was top model Chanel Iman who channeled her inner temptress in a body-con rose-coloured dress by Michael Kors (obviously!) from the Pre-Fall 2013 collection. Featuring a cross back detail, the body-hugging outfit was completed with a simple black leather fold over clutch and black ankle-strapped sandals from the same collection. Similar to Wasikowska, Iman kept her beauty look at a minimum: natural-looking makeup and a sleek hairstyle.
