Who Wears Black Lace Best: Emma Watson, Taylor Swift or Kirsten Dunst?

By The Editors of StyleList Posted Dec 4th 2010 06:14AM

The Little Black Dress (LBD) is a standard for women of all ages. But this season's sexy lace versions -- as modeled by Emma Watson, Taylor Swift and Kirsten Dunst -- are appealing to celebs who are young and body-conscious. So which beauty was able to pull it off best?

Lace makes you sexy while still adding that all-important air of mystery. And, of course, this kind is black: forgiving, flattering, slimming; it hides dirt and there are enough variations so you don't see yourself coming and going.

Burberry model Emma Watson broke with tradition and stepped out in this sexy, and sheer, Rafael Lopez for the premiere of the penultimate Harry Potter film: 'Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1,' in London, Nov. 11. With an open back (and did we mention the dress was sheer?) and sexy feather trim, this was a departure from her usual classic look. Perhaps her newly cropped hair is spurring the more mature look?

Though she's just too young (albeit with a great figure) to wear as much black lace as she does, Taylor Swift's classic little black sheath with a lace overlay by Jenny Packham suits her. This dress, worn to the CMT Artists of the Year event on November 30, is one of many little black lace dresses she's worn lately, including this one by Tadashi on the cover of Glamour.

Kirsten Dunst's fitted lacy sheath by Valentino had a little added character with white, ruffled cuffs. The actress chose this not-so-basic black for the premiere of her newest movie, "All Good Things," in New York on Dec. 1. Get More on StyleList

I picked Taylor Swift simply because she's the only one wearing a dress with lace. Emma and Kirsten both are wearing too much lace. On top of that Emma is looking decidedly undersnourished.

Taylor is the one that looks undernourished; plus her dress would look better on Emma, who is also prettier

By fiona

I don't know where you got 'decidedly undernourished'. Emma looks fit and adorable. Swift is the one who looks somewhat anorexic...and decidedly older than 21 with that tired hairdo and Joan Collins dress.

By danny

Hey John, you must like the BIG chubby girls if you think Emma is undernourished. Did you see her on Letterman's show....What a beautiful young lady.

By BTDT

You could put Emma in a patato sack and she'd still be beautiful.

By Muscleman

I just had the pleasure of waiting on Emma Watson at the restaurant I work and shes even more beautiful and personable in person. And she wasnt even wearing black lace LOL.

Love the dress Swift is wearing but looks to old for her. Best on someone in 40s.

By Nico Toscani

They all look terrible. Black lace is for old ladies and hookers.

1st Emma Watson, A close 2nd Taylor Swift and I don't care for Kirsten Dunst's dress.

By Aimee

TAYLOR SWIFT LOOKS BETTER THAN EMMA AND KRISTIN. and I like Emma with long hair not short short short hair

By Sophia

I do not like any of the dresses. Emma is the prettiest. Love the short haircut. She looks great!

By Mingo

Taylor Swift's dress on Emma Watson: It's elemenary, my dear Watson!

By BrittanyBIEBER

i think taylor swift looks best all the way. i like emma watsons hair but i don't like the dress. and you know people it's just an opinion, you can have your own, so don't go hating like you always do on innocent people.

By loveyouhotmiley

This article gushes how sexy Emma is and then says Taylor is really too young to be wearing lace. Taylor Swift is actually older than Emma Watson.

The first poster is obviously biased....Taylor Swift looks much thinner than Emma Watson. Emma Watson looks healthy and toned and in my opinion she wears the black lace best. I think the short haircut is one of the best moves she has made...she looks great with short hair.

By YellowRose3218

I like the dress that Taylor is wearing.
It covers all of her up well, thats fitting for her young age.
And the lace is beautiful.
I dont care much for the other dresses my self.

Taylor is the only one who doesn't show her bra. But Emma looks nice too.
