Snövitduell: Kristen Stewart vs.Lily Collins

The announcement Friday that Lily Collins would play the title character in the other "Snow White" (or is Kristen Stewart's the other "Snow White"?) offers a rare chance to compare two actors who'll take on the same role at virtually the same time. Which one is best suited to play the fairy-tale heroine? We grade them on seven key characteristics.

LIKABILITY
Snow White has to be relatable if not downright sweet, Mia Wasikowska's Alice is not Anne Hathaway's princess. Stewart doesn't do smiling very well. Collins, on the other hand, is a beaming presence who practically gushed to HitFix when she got the role.
Advantage: Collins

RESUME
Even at 21, Stewart has a lot of acting experience, not just in three "Twilight" movies but dramas such as "The Runaways" and "Welcome to the Rileys." Collins' most prominent role is as the daughter you nearly forgot amid Sandra Bullock's Oscar-winning performance in "The Blind Side."
Advantage: Stewart
TONSORIALITY
It's all about the hair. Stewart's can be lustrous, as in the photo above, but it can also be gothy, stringy, unprincessy. Plus she's always tugging at it. Not very Snow White. Collins' is long, flowing,Rapunzel-like.
Advantage: Collins

PEDIGREE
Stewart's father was a stage manager, giving him some everyman respectability. Collins' father was the man who gave the world "Su-su-sudio."
Advantage: Heavily Stewart
ATTRACTIVENESS
Always a subjective category. We'll defer to the experts. Collins landed on Maxim's list of the 20 hottest daughters of rock stars. Kristen Stewart failed to make Maxim's Hot 100 last year, though did merit an FHM mention.
Advantage: Collins (despite loose definition of "rock star")

SLYNESS
Mental acuity is just as much a part of Snow White as physical beauty; after all you've got to outsmart the queen and her evil designs. Collins went to Harvard-Westlake and is studying journalism at USC. Stewart left organized education in the seventh grade.
Advantage: Heavily Collins
FLEETFOOTEDNESS
Speed is also a part of the role. You have to outrun the huntsman or anyone else the queen will send after you. As Bella Swan, Stewart has plenty of on-screen practice running away from the bad guys, even if she mumbles incoherently when she does it. Collins has mostly avoided any pursuer-type situations.
Advantage: Stewart

FINAL TALLY
Collins: Three advantages, one heavy advantage.
Stewart: Two advantages, one heavy advantage.
