Bee Shaffer vs. Julia Restoin-Roitfeld: Who wins?

Both are appearing often in the front row besides their moms.
Both have the wardrobe we would kill for.
Both are the most stylish offspring a glossy paper can be proud to present.

But which of both do you prefer?
Who fascinates you most?

On the left corner, American and with a skin of marble, Bee Schaffer.
On the right corner, French and sensual yet with a unique devil-may-care attitude, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld:

My personal winner is Julia, she's got the parisian, dark & elegant look of her mom.

Be aware people, these girls will give a lot to talk about in the near future.

I guess I prefer Bee Schaffer, because I like the name "Bee".

One somewhat amusing thing about both is how much bigger they are than their mothers (physically)...
Otherwise both AW and CR have attractive girls- and the boys as well.

But if you analyse it a bit, you won't like it that much anymore. Look, fella:

Bee= if you pronounce instead i, a simple e, it sounds like what sheep say: B-e-e-e-e-e-e

Schaffer = Means in German (Schäfer), shepherd... so this girl must even smell like a sheep...

Yeah, Anna needs an shoot of pheromones. And Bee should be the Editor-In-Chief for Teen Vogue , longtime of course. With topics like: Play Venus in Furs wearing Michael Kors, Marc Jacobs, Tommy Hilfiger and of course Calvin Klein...

Julia-Restoin-Roitfeld is a very intelligent and well dressed girl. She is fun and extremly well educated. Bee Schaffer is more like her mom. A traditional american girl that seems very arrogant and full of herself. Also, i do not know for sure, but i don't think that Julia at her young age is working for the French Vogue already. On the other hand, Bee, has her own magazine (TeenVogue) for which (surprise, surprise) she writes articles about (surprise, surprise) fashion. I guess that without her mom, it would be much harder to get that job. For me there is no comparison, Julia is the better one of these two. She is an elegant fashionista with great manners that knows how to treat other people.

Julia has a certain je ne sais quoi, much like I find her mother does. The fine distinctions of French style will trump any North American counterpart - And Julia just looks cool. period.

I did manage to find a pic of Bee (From Style.com):

Really? I've always gotten the impression that Bee Schaffer is a very pleasant and well-behaved girl, unlike her mother's caustic self. (Although I really wouldn't know for sure, since I don't know her, obviously!)

Also, while Bee Schaffer contributes to Teen Vogue, I would hardly term it as her "[having] her own magazine" - you know? Obviously, she got the job easily because of her mom's position, but it's not just her - there are many other teen contributors to Teen Vogue who hail from influential, wealthy, socialite backgrounds. What I'm trying to say is that it's not as if Bee's the only one who got in because of her privileged background. So, no biggie there.

At least we don't see Bee Schaffer being an attention-seeking, trashy, obnoxious tart in the New York scene, unlike some other young socialites.

That said, I do think Julia Roitfeld looks sensational! Definitely edgier and more exciting than prim Miss Schaffer.
