Lara Bingle In Louis Vuitton Fall 2011: Love It Or Leave It? (PHOTOS, POLL)

Brave is the woman who attempts runway looks in the real world. While we can't say we wear too much couture, we imagine it must be intimidating to put on the sleek, shiny outfits worn by toweringly tall, size 2 models.

But Lara Bingle, an Australian model and competitor on "Dancing With The Stars: Australia," got dressed up for last night's Louis Vuitton celebration in straight-off-the-runway Louis Vuitton from the Fall 2011 show (remember, the one with the cigarette-puffing Kate Moss?).

Attending the brand's store opening in Sydney with stylish Aussies like Miranda Kerr, Bingle wore a rather demure black short-sleeve sweater with a shiny red skirt to the knees.

While she, like the runway model, wore her hair tightly pulled back, the outfit looked a world's away from the original version. Does Lara's take on Louis Vuitton work -- or is this one ensemble that doesn't translate from runway to real life?

Quick Poll

Does this runway outfit translate to the real world?

SURE. She looks totally lovely.

NO WAY. If not worn by a beanpole model, the outfit just looks frumpy.

Ugh, I mean the outfit isn't great to begin with but I am more offended by the model's horrible orange skin... why do celebrities think that looks good ever???

Seriously? Who wore it better? Neither one of them.......it is a totally ridiculous costume. People honestly get paid big bucks to do this schlumpy stuff?

Ack. Who cares about the outfit? Her skin is dayglo.

I don't know, they both kind of look like Wednesday Addams in that thing.

Why is Lara orange?

I don't think red goes with orange, so I pick the girl on the right. I don't like the outfit at all, but I do like those red shoes.

The one withOUT the dreadful spray tan looks better. However neither one of these ladies should have left the house wearing this terrible outfit.

What's the difference which one looks better, when the outfit makes them both look terrible?

If you are in public dressed as a sequined Catholic school girl with orange skin,
its time to fire your stylist.

Agreed. One looks dead, the other like she spent waaay too much time in a tanning booth. Neither looks attractive.

I don't care who's name is on these clothes...they just look frumpy, not forward thinking at all.

It's equally bad on either woman. Who designed this crap?

The top is cute but the skirt leave A LOT to be desired.

It's ugly on both of them! That top does NOT match the skirt! YUCK!
