Evan Rachel Wood & Marisa Tomei In Red Leather: Who Wore It Better? (PHOTOS, POLL)

If it's rare that we can compare two actresses' red leather dresses, it's even rarer when we can compare two co-stars' red leather dresses.

But "The Ides of March" stars Evan Rachel Wood and Marisa Tomei have both made unlikely but highly similar sartorial choices in donning dark red leather numbers for their various red carpet outings.

Tomei wore leather first, picking a chiffon Marios Schwab dress with leather side panels for the Los Angeles premiere of her new film.

But last night at a New York event for the film, Evan Rachel Wood may have outdone her. Wood wore a full leather ensemble, a long-sleeve, belted dress and a wide, purple hat to top it all off.

Each lady chose the outfit that best fit their personal style: Tomei went feminine, sophisticated and just a little off-beat, while Wood made a strong statement in a highly unconventional look.

Check out the outfits side-by-side below: which "The Ides of March" star wore her red leather dress best?

I would love ERW's dress if it were a different material. Tomei's' dress looks half-finished.

ERW looks to "costumey" so have to go with MT.

As much as I love Marissa Tomei I am going to go with Evan Rachel Wood
because I do not think she is wearing anything underneath :O

Evan Rachel Wood? Are you sure it's not Carmen Sandiego? I was wondering where she went...

It's funny that these two are compared. One just admitted she is bi-sexual...and I've always wondered if Marissa is gay. Hmmmm

I love ERW...She's got that Private Detective/Street-Walker look down pat.

It's official...Ms. Woods is my new muse. She is murdering the style competition in every appearance and snapshot. She nails her bold looks flawlessly and what other celebrity right now could pull off that hat?! When someone like this exists, it makes you really question the crowd that worships Kate and Pippa Middleton as style icons.

I loves me some Marisa Tomei, but Ms. Wood's dress is the better of the two.

I suppose next week both will appear in PETA ads. At least they're not as bad as JoLo who drapes herself in the pelts of as many dead animals that she can get her hands on.

I don't see Wood doing that. I'd expect her to do an ad covered in all sorts of dead things.

What was Tomei thinking with that ratty hair? Who is even looking at the frock? Yikes!! Ms. Wood looks like she should be in an English period film circa 1940.

...I love both looks!

I like them both. They are very different looks so you can't really compare them. One is sexy and one is retro.

I'm SHOCKED that Marisa has more votes than Evan. There is NO comparison between these two outfits. Let's start with the hair, Marisa looks like she just rolled out of bed and is still half asleep. And the dresses. Marisa's looks like it's just bits of fabric stuck together with no design, it looks like something you grab out of the ragbag. In comparison, Evan's dress is sleek, stylish, the entire look is completely put together. It's obvious today that the American woman has NO sense of style. People see skin showing and for some CRAZY reason they think that's fashion. No! No! No! Not is NOT the way it works.

As good looking as Rachel is and as stunning as her outfit looks and as well coiffed as she is Marisa exudes sexuality in ways that Rachel cannot approach.

Someone once told me there is only one real crime when it comes to fashion,
and that's appearing to try too hard.

Possibly Marisa is edging out Rachel because her look here is more relaxed, making her seem more approachable and real.

Rachel wins. Love her hat too.

And she is not winning in the poll. What are people seeing in Marisa's outfit that makes it better? Her dress looks like a bad figure skating costume to me which ERW looks chic and interesting.

Maybe they're voting for the woman and not the outfit.
