And the crown goes to: Tatyana or Taraji? Both ladies were seen wearing a Tracy Reese Fall 2008 dress.
The dress isn’t my favorite of Tracy’s Reese’s collections, though she is one of my favorite designers. The voluminous, mid-calf length dress has a faux wrap detail, with hidden pockets at each side and side ruching.
Taraji P. Henson was the first to wear the dress. She wore the dress to the 20th anniversary of the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala presented by Cartier held at the Palm Springs Convention Center a few weeks ago. She accessorized the dress with a simple chain necklace and green clutch with yellow tassel. She paired the dress with cutout fringe oxford, open-toe booties. She topped off the outfit with her signature hairstyle and always flawless makeup.
Tatyana Ali wore the dress to Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Inaugural Ball at Harman Center for the Arts in Washington, DC. She accessorized the dress with a charm necklace and peeptoe pumps with a jeweled detail on the vamp. Her blue accented eyes stand out again her natural makeup and sophisticated hairstyle.
The length and volume of the dress is usually for a more taller, statuesque women, which doesn’t apply to neither lady. Besides the silhouette, I have a problem with the wrinkly fabric of the dress. But, since I’m forced to choice, I’ll have to go with Tatyana. It may be the pose, but she looks more mature and demure. Would do you think gets the crown?

Both ladies look great, but Taraji’s shoes get a thumbs down from me! I went with Tatyana

Taraji is just more polished
