In April 2018, Rita Ora and Chloë Sevigny got a “Spy vs. Spy” fashion battle in their respective black and white outfits at the Montblanc Meisterstück Le Petit Prince event in NYC. Who do you think between the two style mavens pushed the envelope further?

Rita Ora made a bold fashion choice in a Vera Wang Fall 2018 black gown that featured an armor-inspired bodice and peplum.

She complemented her structured look with an impeccably made-up face, a neat, twisted updo, and dazzling MontBlanc dangling earrings. The 27-year-old British singer finished with a simple, black pair of Gianvito Rossi “Jaime” elastic-ankle-strap sandals.

Eva Longoria wore the same sandals for her guest appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” in New York City on October 2, 2018.

Is it just us, or do you also find the armpit cutouts with Rita’s tattoos peeking out distracting?

While Rita Ora’s look brought a bold, edgy vibe to the event, Chloë Sevigny opted for an entirely different approach, embracing a softer, almost whimsical aesthetic.

While Rita’s structured gown was about sharp angles and dramatic details, Chloë’s ensemble softened the scene with delicate ruffles and a light, airy silhouette.

In sharp contrast to Rita’s angular, black look, Chloë Sevigny went for a Simone Rocha Spring 2018 white-satin ruffled dress that was so shapeless it reminded us of a pillowcase.

The 43-year-old actress paired her sleepwear-inspired dress with a white bow in her low ponytail and a black satin handbag. She rounded out her look with her favorite Balenciaga “Knife” satin mules, which have prompted a mass obsession among shoe lovers.
