Cher first wore the striking piece at her 2012 Hard Rock Rocks concert, pairing it with playful Christian Louboutin ‘Pensee’ Mary Jane pumps for a Lolita-inspired look.

With geometric prints back in the spotlight, we’re revisiting this fashion face-off. Who wore it best—Cher with her feminine statement heels or Jenny with her bold, modern styling? Let’s break down their looks and see why geometric patterns remain a red carpet favorite.
Cher Lloyd’s Bold Take on the Geometric Print Trend
In October 2012, British singer Cher Lloyd performed at the Hard Rock Rocks concert in this black-and-white knit mini dress.

This dress features a mesmerizing mosaic tile pattern. It’s categorized under the geometric print trend, overtaking the baroque print trend as this season’s most coveted dress style.

But more than just a geometric print, Cher Lloyd’s dress features a carefully designed pattern that contours the body and creates an illusion of a curvy figure.

Jenny McCarthy’s Take on the Geometric Dress Trend
Since that geometric pattern is so distinguishable, we immediately identified the same dress on Jenny McCarthy.

Style Showdown: Cher Lloyd vs. Jenny McCarthy – Who Wore It Best?
While Cher Lloyd paired her dress with flowered Mary Janes for a Lolita-esque look, Jenny McCarthy played up its edgy, trendy vibe with slick black wedge booties.
The bold contrast of Cher Lloyd’s black-and-white version makes the geometric pattern even more eye-catching, while Jenny McCarthy’s navy-and-black version offers a sleek, understated take with a flattering fit.
With the dress itself making a bold statement, the final verdict comes down to hair, makeup, and accessories. Who do you think styled the geometric print dress better—Cher Lloyd with her playful flair or Jenny McCarthy with her edgy twist?

Cher Lloyd isn’t the only star embracing bold geometric patterns. This trend has been a staple in celebrity wardrobes for years, proving its versatility on and off the stage. Another striking example? While dining at Katsuya in Los Angeles, Kelly Rowland was spotted rocking a BCBGMAXAZRIA geometric colorblock dress.
While Cher’s RVN knit mini dress creates a curvy illusion with intricate detailing, Kelly’s structured colorblock design offers a modern, sophisticated take on the trend. Let’s look closer at how Kelly styled her geometric ensemble and how it compares to the runway version.
Kelly Rowland, Brandy, and Paris Hilton’s Unexpected Trio Outing at Katsuya in LA
In August 2010, Kelly Rowland was spotted with Brandy and Paris Hilton at Katsuya in Los Angeles.
This is probably the oddest trio of celebrities ever seen together. Still, it was worth looking over the weirdness so that I could feature the lovely dress Kelly Rowland wore that evening:

We love the bold graphic stripes against the neutral colors! Kelly Rowland is wearing a geometric colorblock dress from BCBGMAXAZRIA. This is how it looks on the model:

And how it was styled on the BCBG Max Azria Fall 2010 RTW runway:
For once, the runway doesn’t win. On the model, the geometric dress reads more experimental than elegant — the shortened hemline and handkerchief fold distract from its otherwise architectural charm.
But on Kelly Rowland, the design finally breathes. The length hits that perfect midpoint between polished and sultry, the folded drape falls effortlessly over her thigh, and her black-and-gold accessories strike the ideal contrast against the geometric pattern. Confident and balanced, Kelly transforms the look from conceptual to covetable — proof that sometimes, the real runway moment happens off the catwalk.
As this look back on the geometric print trend comes to a close, one thing’s clear — bold patterns never lose their edge. From structured dresses to sculptural heels, these angular designs continue to shape both fashion and footwear with modern sophistication.
