Who wore it better? Kate Middleton vs. Lydia Bright

Kate Middleton caused near hysteria when she wore the Reiss 'Shola' dress last month to greet President Obama and his wife Michelle, in London. 

It sold out within hours but one person who did manage to bag one is Lydia Bright, 'star' of The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE). She wore hers on a shopping trip with black patent platform pumps, a two-tone bowling bag, and a metallic necklace similar to the Princess'.

I think this is a good argument for dressing for your shape as the dress appears quite ill-fitting on Lydia- it creases across the hips but is gaping around the bust and shoulders. I think Lydia knows this as she does not look too confident in it.


Reiss have announced that they have re-ordered 600 of the 'Shola' dress which should be arriving in about five-six weeks time. You can register your name to be informed of when the dress arrives by visiting http://www.reissonline.com/shola.
