Kate Upton, Blake Lively, and Sarah Jessica Parker: 3 Magazines, 1 Dress...

Great minds might think alike, but it's great bodies that can pull off Gucci. Just ask Kate Upton, Blake Lively, and Sarah Jessica Parker, three stunning women who all rocked the exact same dress in different September magazines — Elle, Elle China, and Harper's Bazaar, respectively.
It's no surprise that the frock would be a top choice for fashionistas worldwide. With its curve-hugging cut and peekaboo fabric, it basically oozes sex appeal. What's more, the sequin and feather flounces show off a couture-quality craftsmanship. This is the stuff that dreams are made of.

What is a bit surprising, however, is that one style could look so perfect on women of such a range of ages and body types. Upton, 21, and Lively, 25, are still fresh-faced Hollywood fare, while Parker, 48, is a tried-and-true industry vet. And while Kate's soft curves are what first made her famous, Blake and SJP have markedly leaner lines.
There are a few significant differences in the ladies' looks, however. While the younger starlets both gleam in gold, cap-sleeved versions of the gown, Parker shines in a blue, long-sleeved style. (Though someone pushed those mesh sleeves up to her elbows for a more casual feel.) Also, Lively and Upton's shots cut off mid-thigh for a more up-close-and-personal look. For Parker, the frame pulls back to showcase her legs that don't stop for days. Seriously, if we had stems like that, we'd wear a see-through, feathered, floor-length gown pretty much everywhere we went (although we can't say we have $22,000 lying around to spend on the Gucci goods).

Though this Gucci dress seems to transcend age and body type (nothing short of a miracle if you ask us), each actress puts her own unique spin on the glamorous style. We think all three looks are brilliant, but which do you think shines the brightest?
