This year’s Paris Fashion Week seems like it’s under-attended. Maybe that’s my American bias speaking – usually, there are lots of American “fashion girls” who end up doing the rounds all week, but there has only been a handful of Americans this year. Maybe it’s because Linnocent is haunting the City of Lights like the Crackhead of Notre Dame. Maybe it’s because French designers just invited more European celebrities this year. I don’t know.
Anyway, these are some photos of a few of the Americans fashion girls who did make it to Paris. There’s Jessica Biel making her way into the Valentino show, and Uma Thurman going into the Chanel show. Biel was out and about in Paris yesterday, wearing Giambattista Valli and looking puffy and slightly pregnant. So Biel must be relieved to be wearing this figure-hugging dress, showing off her distinct lack of baby bump. Sidenote: I really, really hate Biel’s shoes. As for Uma… she always looks pregnant to me these days, but beyond that, she looks gorgeous in Chanel. If you’d like to see a slideshow of Chanel’s show, go here.
So, which one of these girls worked Paris Fashion Week harder? Uma looks gorgeous, and she got to sit front-row at Chanel, the must-have position for any “fashion girl” worth her salt. But Jessica Biel achieved something too – she’s still got a career, she’s still considered a fashion girl, and she still gets invited to these events, all with little to no talent as a clothes hanger or as an actress. I don’t know who to choose!

Well knowing the hate for JB on this website the vote would undoubtly go to Uma.
Jessica who? Uma is a goddess who has aged gracefully and beautifully. Uma has never looked better.
what the heck is around Biel’s ankles?
J.Biel is loving the new found attention now that she is “back” with Justin Timberlake. Would she even be invited if she wasn’t still associated with him?
Props to Uma. She looks great in that outfit.
I used to really like Jessica… not for her awesome acting capabilities but for the healthy, fit role model she stood for. Too many tweaks of the face and the pathetic-ness of the whole JT thing has simply turned my like into blah. I could not care less.
Uma will always be a unique, shinning, goddess.
Uma hands down and I’m not even a fan.
NOT a fan of Jessica as an actress/celebrity/person but she looks amazing here. Uma looks great too but I just love the color of Jessica’s coat and her shoes. Plus the fabric of the dress, I don’t know, it looks like it even feels amazing.
They both look good.
I’d love to have JB dress.
Gosh, Jessica has good teeth! But to me, she has a horsey face.
Her dress looks lovely from what I can see of it – her shoes are the wrong color.
I don’t think you can compare. I mean Uma is a major actress, but Jessica is much younger and im liking her outfit more of course because its more fresh. Even though Uma is really elegant.
Uma wins hands down. Biel looks like she’s trying to hard and her dress… ensemble in general… is very bland and generic.
JB shoes are f*ckin ugly! What’s that supposed to be, a half ankleboot with a nude strap?
they are two diff women wearing two diff outfits in two diff age ranges how can you compare the two… please spare me!
I never noticed the similarities between Uma & Princess Charlene! Except Uma doesn’t look on the verge of tears all the time.
I’ll give this round to Biel, she looks gorgeous here.
I just LOVE Jessica’s outfit and coat! I want them badly!!
As for Uma…meh, I don’t really like or dislike her outfit. Just boring.
Come on, guys. Uma is clearly getting some help with her face.
Jessica! I love her booties! Is that her mom?
Uma needs Victoria secret! Sag makes you a hag!
My vote’s for Jessica, although I’m really not a fan of the hair. Beautiful clothes and they look perfect on her.
Uma’s face and hair look great, but I don’t like the rags she’s wearing. Jessica’s outfit is just as bad — it’s downright matronly, complete with hideous grandma shoes.
I think both of them could be wearing much, much nicer outfits. So I’m going to ignore the awful clothes and vote for Uma.
Uma.
I can’t believe you wrote piece this without commenting on Uma’s face. She looks like she’s had a ton of work done — far more than Kate Winslet and right up there with Madonna before hers went south. Particularly her eyes, neck and mouth. She’s gorgeous, but she’s had major work done.
Uma. Definitely.
Uma.
Love Jessica’s hair. Hate her shoes.
As for Uma, she is gorgeous. Does she look plastic-y to anyone else? I think she’s a case of classy-Botox.
Love Jessicas dress, hate the shoes w the dress. She is to thin lately. Uma’s face work looks good/somewhat natural. A little waxy but decent.
Biel has always had a hard look about her face. Love that dress but she needs a lot more make-up. Uma looks much classier.
Remember when she used to be pretty muscular but then started starving herself to appease public commentators on blogs and such.
Uma looks good, but I agree there’s something…different. I think she may have been freshened up, or has on some amazing makeup.
If those photos are supposed to be Biel looking pregnant, then most women seem to be carrying twins!
Uma’s makeup looks fabulous! Has she got things tweeked? She hasn’t looked that fresh and amazing for ages!
I do like Jessica’s dress, but she needs more accessories and less messy hair. The shoes just…no…not good at all.
WTH….Medieval granny-peasant shoes. UGHH!
Uma looks so lovely. Everything about her look is perfect 🙂
Biel looks like a corpse as always.
i was going to say jessica, until I got to the shot of the damn shoes. Christ. Uma wins.
Uma wins, definitely (elegant, classy, beautiful). I liked Jessica “Teefs”‘s dress but she needed a bra that didn’t show her nips, and the witch shoes and support hose needs to go. I love the sunglasses but she needs to keep them on b/c her eyes look tired in that pic. She always looks ‘almost there’ in her style, some of it ok but then the other mess just ruins the whole look.
Uma looks stunning.
JB’s lips look like a couple of sausages that are about to split and I can’t see past that. She needs to stop with the lip injections.
Is Biel wearing knee high nylons rolled down to her ankles with those hideous shoes? It sure looks like it.
I actually love the shoes.
Uma
Uma’s face, Biel’s body.
Throw Biel’s shoes in the trash first though.
uma doeos not look that tweaked to me…
even the candids w/o makeup, she looks good-great skin, does not look like an alien.
i’m not saying she’s has nothing, but i just dont see major surgery here…
The acne on Biel’s chest is distracting.
Biel’s face is … not attractive. I’ll leave it at that.
Her outfit? Meh.
Uma on the other hand is so beautiful. Face, hair, outfit – she wins hands down.
uma hands down,she looks radiant, but i like Jessica dress also.
Uma, hands down.
The design of JB’s shoes actually make her legs look short. All they do is draw your attention to the taupe ankle straps which makes her look like she’s either wearing Leggs ankle socks or ankle length Spanx. What a difference when you look at Uma’s shoes.
Uma is a goddess. I’ve seen her in person with her family, she is just gorgeous, a natural beauty.
That said, jennifer looks much more real and relaxed. But those shoes……
Let me first say I think both ladies looked very elegant but I have to give it to Jessica, I love her hair and the color and fit of her outfit, Very in season with the color and coat.
Uma is groomed. Biel looks messy. Is she with her mother? Biel’s shoes are not becoming.
i must say, it’s hard to hate biel. after all she’s really pretty and has a great figure…
They both look beautiful. I’m curious to know who is that with Jessica Biel,her mom? If she is her mom than she has an elegant mother.
I think the color palette Jessica Biel went with is so blehhghh. It would wash anyone out. Uma looks pretty fabulous, but I don’t really care for the jacket.
tbh Jessica Biel’s outfit is better… Uma makes it a point to dress unconventionally all the time… or at least in the past few years she started with that. earlier in her career she dressed very cautiously, no colour, just black &/or white, simple designs. and now she just seems out of it.
