Who Wore Reem Acra Better? Lisa Rinna or Gabriella Union



This Reem Acra gown is from the Resort 2009 collection. It's not the same dress which Lisa Edelstein wore to the SAG Awards this weekend, although they look very similar.

Lisa Rinna arrived at the 2008 Emmy Awards back in September wearing a white Reem Acra Resort 2009 asymmetrical gown, with a jeweled detail on the shoulder. For me this was one of her best ever looks.

Actress Gabrielle Union recently wore the same dress in black when she arrived to host the BET Honors event in Washington.

Both wore silver jewels to compliment their gown

Sex and the City Carrie Vogue Wedding Dresses Shoot

Which Sex And The City Character fits your bridal style?



One of the many things we love about Sex and the City is how the show taught us that it's OK to live stylishly - and that you can and should do it on your own terms. Each of the girls has a distinct look to go with her personality, and while we believe that there's a little bit of each of the girls in every woman, most of us tend to favor one girl's style over the others.

We've had some fun imagining what a wedding (or, let's face it for most of the girls it's what ANOTHER wedding) would look like for each of the girls.

Whose wedding style more closely matches your own?

Charlotte is every wedding planner's dream come true: A hopeless romantic and a perfectionist to boot, her wedding style is all flowers and tradition - she's the quintessential bride!
