Two Women, Three Dresses: Who Wore It Better?
Carla Ghebali recently turned to her mother’s vintage wardrobe for a fashion challenge, sharing her experience on her TikTok account. The question posed: Who pulls off the look better?
When invited to a gala, Carla sought style inspiration from her mother, Daniela Lumbroso, a well-known television host and producer, and daughter of Eric Ghebali, the former Secretary-General of SOS Racisme. Carla chose to revive three of her mother’s old dresses. The first outfit featured was a cherished long pink dress that Daniela had kept for “25 to 30 years,” prized for its “simplicity,” as she mentioned in the video.

For the second try-on, Carla pulled out a strapless gown that combined lace and black satin, originally worn in 2008. While her mother was fond of this dress, Carla was not as enthusiastic, candidly describing it as resembling “an old aunt’s wedding dress.” The third dress, a piece from Antik Batik, was unanimously decided as a miss by both women. Daniela Lumbroso pointed out that it didn’t fit well, saying, “in terms of width and length, it just doesn’t work.”
The Unexpected Verdict from the Internet
Although the mother-daughter duo seemed to agree on the appeal of the first dress, online viewers focused their attention elsewhere. Surprisingly, many commenters expressed a preference for seeing Daniela herself in the dresses rather than her daughter.
Comments such as “I don’t know why but I prefer the dresses on your mom,” “Why do the dresses look sublime on Daniela and less so on her daughter?” and “The dresses are beautiful but they look better on the mom.” populated the video’s comment section. Nevertheless, Carla, who has followed in her mother’s footsteps by becoming a journalist, also seems to be tracing her path in fashion with flair.
This social media episode highlights the timeless appeal of certain styles and the unique way personal charisma can influence fashion perceptions.
