Battle of the LBD at Disney ABC Television Network Group's TCA 2011 Summer Press Tour

Fiery haired, Desparate Housewive's star, Marcia Cross went head to head with teen sensation turned model, Christina Ricci in a grizzly battle of the LBDs at the Disney hosted bash this weekend and here at the Team LBD office, we are well and truly torn. The 49-year-old actress and her 31-year-old rival maybe an entire generation apart but they both sure know how to rock a little black dress! One of the reasons why we're so head over stiletto heels in lust with the LBD is for it's undeniable versatility and dexterous nature and these two sirens bridge the age and style gap with a united flare for flaunting the look. Christina turned up to the star-studded event sporting a sleeveless, micro-mini from the Michael Kors, Prefall 2011 collection. The smoke print ensemble displayed a high, round neck and exaggerated A line skirt, boasting a frivolous, edgy aesthetic. This quirky cut is almost tailor made for the younger members of the LBD harem - who want to show off enviably toned limbs. Contrastingly, Marcia gives us a lesson in old school glamour, with a more demure look. For those with an eye for prim perfection, Marcia has hit the nail right on the head with this lace-trimmed ensemble. Marcia oozed 1950s housewife sex appeal in this mid-length LBD that radiates style and sophistication with a short sleeve and synched waistline. A lace trimmed edge and plummeting neckline adds a sultriness to her otherwise conservative outfit. Whatever your style, the LBD will mould, shape, cling and nip to your personal preferences so take a look at our favourites of the day to begin your conquest for your perfect match:
