When it comes to teen stars, nobody is as big as Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, and the country cuties have a surprising amount of things in common. They both sing and act, they're cute and likable, they've both dated a Jonas Brother, and we're led to believe they're actually friends. The real question is Who has better style? We'll give you our breakdown, then you can weigh in with your vote.

RED CARPET
Depending on the event, Miley bounces between funky short dresses and over-the-top gowns. While we love her more youthful styles, Miley tends to get lost when she dresses too old for her age. Case in point: Her bedazzled artichoke dress at this year's Oscars. Taylor, on the other hand, sticks with what works. She goes for long classic lines, which flatter her slender frame, and often wears black or metallic dresses. She does have the tendency to get caught in a style rut. We've seen several variations on a shimmery silver dress over the past year, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. For reliable red carpet style, our pick is Taylor.
Miley: 0
Taylor: 1

CASUAL
Miley's day-to-day clothes range from skinny jeans and rock t-shirts to controversial car wash attire -- denim cut-offs and a bikini top. Miley also has a slight boho vibe, opting for flowy tops and funky jewelry. Taylor usually dresses more girly and straight-laced. She's often spotted in dresses and skirts. And while Taylor tends toward high heels or boots, Miley is most comfortable in her Chuck Taylors. We like a girl who knows how to kick back.

HAIR
With Taylor's blonde curls and Miley's wavy brown locks, we've got two great heads of hair here. Since we're not factoring in Miley's dreadful Hannah Montana wig, we'll call it a draw.
Miley: 2
Taylor: 2

MAKEUP
With her fair skin and light hair, Taylor tends to go for simple, minimal makeup, but she always manages to showcase those gorgeous baby blues with smokey cat-eye makeup. Miley's rummaged her way through the makeup drawer to come up with some great understated looks, but there have been some severe missteps, including ruby red lips and drawn-on eyebrows. Taylor takes it.
Miley: 2
Taylor: 3

So Taylor's our pick in this style showdown. It only makes sense, since she's had a few more years to refine her look. Miley, we'll be rooting for you in the 2012 rematch.

We had our say, but who's your pick? Cast your vote in our poll.
