Jane Fonda serves up a good old 'who wore it best?' as she steps out at Cannes in a near-identical Elie Saab couture dress to Angelina Jolie's Oscars gown.Angelina Jolie and Jane Fonda have a lot in common. Though the 38-year age gap means that they don't favour the same retro hair flicks, the Hollywood mega stars do read out of a strikingly similar style book.Ange and Jane are partial to masculine tailoring on the red carpet, with both actresses enjoying red carpet moments in luxe dark tailoring from the likes of Saint Laurent and Reem Acra, respectively. It was thus a surprise for Planet Fashion when Jolie plumped for an ultra-feminine, beaded Elie Saab Couture confection for the 2014 Oscars.It was not dark, there were no side splits or mono straps and none of her tattoos were on display. Though more Russian princess than classic Jolie, the 38-year-old was resplendent.Fast-forward six weeks from the Oscars to the Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony, and we did a double dress take at the sight of Fonda's near-identical Elie Saab gown. Blood red and ravishing, the 76-year-old emulated Jolie's semi-sheer, embellished look, but with a sassy golden age twist that only a pillar of Hollywood, like Fonda, can pull off.Though the last 'who wore it best?' served up a clear winner in the Dolce & Gabbana face off between Helen Mirren and Rita Ora, we're going to bow out of this one. Maybe we're going soft in our old age, but both Jolie and Fonda executed the Elie Saab showstoppers with the finesse of true red carpet professionals. Just try not to picture Ange with Jane's signature va va voom hair (lol).
