It’s easier to compare the styling prowess of two celebrities when they’re decked out in exactly the same clothes. That seems to be the case for Katy Perry and Cara Santana, who both went for the same Herve Leger by Max Azria pencil skirt from the brand’s Pre-Fall 2013 collection. They even wore the same cropped top that matched the skirt!

The 30-year-old pop singer put some class to her sexy and edgy look by teaming it up with a pair of black Christian Louboutin pumps and throwing in understated jewelry from Anita Ko, Melinda Maria, Nikki Baker and EF Collection. Also take note of her vintage-glam coif that took some of the edge of her clothing and gave this look a more balanced flair.

Cara Santana, on the other hand, chose a pair of slinky nude-tone sandals to go with the outfit. The 30-year-old actress accessorized with a clutch, armed her wrists with chunky bracelets, opted for a pair of statement earrings and kept her hair down in messy waves.

We don’t know about you guys but we think Katy Perry did a better job styling this Herve Leger printed pencil skirt. This just proves that accessories can really make or break your look! But what about you? Who do you think looks better in this matching skirt and cropped top?
