It is hard to look cutting edge at an event honoring the fashion of Madonna.

But Ireland Baldwin and AnnaSophia Robb managed just that after wearing tummy bearing dresses to the event in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The former was arguably the more eye-catching in a dramatic emerald number, which had a D-shaped cut at the midriff.

How appropriate: Ireland Baldwin wore an emerald dress to the Madonna fashion exhibition in Los Angeles on Thursday

And 17-year-old Ireland wore the look of someone who knew they had scored in the fashion stakes, giving a faint smile at the Material Girl and Macy's retrospective looking at the pop icon's past looks.

But AnnaSophia, 19, was no less impressive than her younger rival in her black and white dress, which had a more demure triangular hole at the navel.

But while she looked happy to pose on the red carpet, it was when she got to see some of Madge's most memorable outfits that her face truly lit up.

Is anyone there? Ireland posted a picture of herself using her shoe as a pretend phone on her Twitter page

Picture perfect: Ireland even posed up for self portraits in the car en route to the event

But there were plenty of other exciting starlets who were strutting their stuff at the show.

Vampire Diaries favourite Kat Graham in particular caught the eye in a figure fitting black dress which also had a slit at the midriff.

Vanessa Hudgens, 24, meanwhile took a more relaxed approach to the event, wearing a white blouse jeans and white shoes.

Split decision: AnnaSophia and Kat Graham were far from the Borderline of bad taste with their outfits

Is this case alarmed? Playful Vanessa Hudgens looked like she wanted to take this outfit home with her

Madonna's most iconic outfits

Meanwhile Kelsey Grammer's daughter Spencer was obviously keen to impress in a cream sheer number which showed off the 29-year-old's figure.

Speaking about the Studio City exhibition Madge said: 'The pop-up exhibit at Macy’s perfectly exemplifies the inspiration and spirit of the Material Girl line and will give my fans a great opportunity to see the evolution of my style over the years.'

Sheer class: Vanessa was dressed down in a blouse and jeans while Spencer Grammer's outfit was sheer

A conservative choice: Michelle Trachtenberg looked surprisingly demure in this dark blue outfit

Criss is not cross: Darren looked like he was having a grand time at the show with Katherine McNamara

I feel a bit sorry for Ireland - her mom was a true beauty and she can't even compete - must be hard for her, or perhaps I should say she's trying too hard?

Ireland is not ugly, but she has poor posture, poor style sense, and the clothes look horrible on her. Definitely not headed to a modeling career.

Horrible green outfit, or dress, whatever you would call it. Really,really unflattering. Even the color is bad on the girl. Must be hard tho, to want to be a model or whatever she wants to be, when you arent that good looking but you mom was gorgeous.

I hate selfies. Especially if it is frequently.

Oh look at me, I'm using a shoe as a phone. I must be the funniest person in the world. Ha ha. - cuzman1977, London, United Kingdom, 26/4/2013 12:18---Don Adams was hotter with the shoe phone and the tux. :-)

Nothing special about Miss Baldwin, her mum was much hotter in her 20s than this one is. Michelle Trachtenberg is so prettty!!
