A little gold dress is not exactly a wardrobe staple, but if the September fashion glossies have any clout (and, trust us, they usually do), we'll be seeing a lot more of them come fall. Lucky for us, both Cindy Crawford and Lindsey Wixson are here to show us how it's done on their respective covers.
Cindy graces the September issue of Tatler in a sequined gold mini, cat eyeliner, black nail polish and nude lips. The 46-year-old supermodel looks pretty amazing here, but the overall look is strangely lackluster for such a shiny ensemble.
Ms. Wixson, Cindy's 18-year-old colleague, is featured on the cover of Flare in a statement-making gold lamé dress, satin-lined gold goat, drop earrings and probably the most fantastic show of red lipstick we've seen in a while. We're also kind of obsessing over her perfect va-va-voom curls.
So who did a better job at modeling the metallic hue on a September cover: mega-model Cindy Crawford or trendy novice Lindsey Wixson? Check out their covers and tell us what you think.
