Dita and Evan Do Pale Perfection

It’s hard not to pit Dita Von Teese and Evan Rachel Wood against one another. Both have dated reigning Prince of Darkness Marilyn Manson and both have adopted a goth burlesque aesthetic that demands an extremely ivory complexion, dark eyes, and a deep pout. It’s even harder not to make comparisons when they both show up at the same event in variations on this look, that being theFashion Group International’s 26th annual Night of Stars last night in New York. Do you prefer Dita’s classic interpretation or Evan’s addition of slight cheek contouring and a soft mauve smoky eye? And furthermore, who wins the alabaster skin-off?

    Evan Rachel Wood has much smoother looking skin... But Dita is the original & will always the the best!! And the alabastor complexion is something you are either born w/ or not... My skin is olive & when I get this pale I look jaundiced!

    Goodness... it's the Marilyn Manson Ex-Wives/Girlfriend's Club.

    (Evan's hair makes her look more pale. She's a natural strawberry blond)

    i totally agree with april. i'm olive as well, and if i let my skin get real pale i look sickly. but dita and evan's skin is pretty for them. i guess dita wins though, because she is the original.

    Wood is so trying to be like Dita. I totally agree that Dita is the original, and from what I have read about Dita's secret milky white skin is that the sun is the devil, and she has a nightmare about becoming the fake tan, blonde hair surfer girls. So.....I guess if you want to achieve her look stay clear of the sun. LOL!

    Dita is just so stylish and very pretty. I think that Evan has a different look most of the time and it probably has nothing to do with either of them dating the same guy. Lets not forget he was with Rose for a while and she too had a very similar style. Hmm
