Audrey Tautou vs Marion Cotillard
French actresses Audrey Tautou and Marion Cotillard are both renowned for their immaculate style. Audrey, 33, is the waspish star of hit films Amélie, The Da Vinci Code and, most recently, Coco Before Chanel, in which she plays the legendary fashion designer in the stylish biopic. The former face of Chanel No 5 perfume is revered for her classically elegant and typically French style, all demure dresses, boyish blouses and simple accessories. Marion, also 33, is equally successful in the world of film having starred in hit flicks Big Fish, Public Enemies and La Vie En Rose, for which she scooped the Best Actress Award at the 2008 Oscars for her role as French singing icon Édith Piaf. She was recently unveiled as the face of Christian Dior, even starring in the Lady Dior mini-movie directed by John Galliano which hit the web earlier this year. When it comes to fashion the Paris-born star favours chic, sophisticated clothes from labels, predominantly French of course, such as Chanel, Christian Dior and Jean Paul Gaultier, and whether she\'s on the red carpet or a cocktail party she never puts a foot wrong.

They maybe different patterned styles but both girls know a printed dress is a sure-fire way to add some interest to a red carpet look. Audrey wore a white strapless dress with black rose detail from the Chanel Couture spring/summer 2009 collection, while Marion wore an Elie Saab dress with an unusual mosaic print.
