We really think this House of CB leather dress is stunning. But because it is incredibly sexy and made from leather, it can be intimidating. The leather hugs the figure and boasts cut-out details that show more than a bit of skin.

So far, two celebrities have braved wearing it – pop singer Demi Lovato and model extraordinaire Joan Smalls.

Who do you think did more justice to this dress?

1. Joan Smalls Showcases Killer Curves

The 27-year-old Puerto Rican model first wore the dress earlier this year at the Vanity Fair party.

She rocked the dress with cross-strapped sandals and a burgundy clutch. Despite the sexiness of the dress, Joan managed to make it look classy. The accessories are just right, and her lips’ pop of red made this look top-notch.

2. Demi Lovato Oozes Sex Appeal

The 23-year-old pop singer, on the other hand, wore the dress while promoting her album in London earlier this month. She had the dress cut shorter to fit her frame.

This is a good styling choice since the original length would have been too overwhelming on her shorter stature. She made the dress look edgier with a pair of Christian Louboutin “Bootstagram” booties and side-swept hair.
