Who wore it best? Michelle Kwan by far.

Laura over at Required Elements (the blog with the daily figure skating news you need) directed us to Hip Candy, to determine who wore it best. Apparently, a Dolce & Gabbana dress has been very popular amongst the twentysomething jetsetters. They include reality TV stars Khloe Kardashian, Lauren Conrad, as well as nine-time National champion, five-time World champion and Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan. Other than Michelle, I did have to do a little research on the first two. I had a case of, "I know these names, but why?"

Khloe and Lauren are on two reality television shows: Keeping up with the Kardashians and The Hills, respectively. (see above, Khloe is the one to the left and Lauren is to the right) I have actually watched an episode or two of Keeping up with the Kardashians since finding out that 1976 Olympic decathlon champion Bruce Jenner is part of the cast. He was great in Skating with Celebrities and was also extremely gracious to me at the opening night gala of the Sports Museum of America in NYC. (click here to see my interview with Bruce Jenner, which starts at minute 3:37)

But anyway, back to the dress. I vote that Michelle (see right, arriving for ESPN Awards) wore it best because 1) she has the body to pull off the dress, 2) nothing was "hanging out" which I liked and she made the look sophisticated (and I even like the top!), 3) she had a nice California tan that I thought complemented the dress well, 4) the dress needs someone with excellent shoulders and posture, which Michelle has tons of, and finally, 5) I rarely get to see Michelle in a knee-length dress so am excited whenever I see her in one. You be the judge, but I say, Michelle wore it best by a long shot.

Either Lauren or Michelle because D&G models are rail thin and those two come the closest to looking like models. Not Khloe for sure.

Lauren did -- sorry. Then Khloe, then Michelle. Don't like Michelle's necklace either.

I agree with Susan- I think Michelle brought class and sophistication to the outfit. I appreciate that several different body types wore the dress (curvy,tall&lean, and petite/athletic) but I feel Michelle wore it the best. Nothing was "hanging out", she has very nice posture, and she looks strong but still pretty and sophisticated.

I agree with lp skater and Susan, Michelle wore it best, and I'm not a skating fan so no playing favorites here. Dress looks uncomfortably tight on Khloe and it was a close call between Lauren and Michelle. Liked to have seen the shoes though.

I have to agree that Michelle looked best in the dress. It looked too tight on Khloe and it just seemed really low and not flattering on Lauren, but on Michelle it seemed to fit just right.
