Got "it" Better - Iman or Lindsay?

Lindsay Price and Iman were both caught photographed in this emboridered corset dress by Rachel Roy recently but which diva got "IT" better?

Iman attended the 3rd Annual Black Girls Rock event in New York City. Lindsay Price attended the Season 3 premiere party for her NBC show, "Lipstick Jungle" back in September.

As you can see Lindsay wore the white and gold corset top while Iman opted for the black and silver one. Both ladies had their accessories match their overall look. This is another tough one...
