Who Really Rocked it? Vanessa Hudgens vs Paris Hilton

Vanessa Hudgens wore this black Jenny Peckham tiered dress with a feathered hem to the premiere of “High School Musical 3: Senior Year” at the Village Jam Factory on November 12 in Melbourne, Australia. She added a lariat and black peep toes to complete her look. Paris Hilton wore the same dress to the 2008 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show at the Fontainebleau Hotel on November 15 in Miami. She added a jeweled necklace and YSL peep toes. I adore Vanessa’s look. She wins this by a longshot.
