Same dress and same event! :) pretty irritating..huh?!

You know, when you say party and a party with a theme, expect girls, ladies and women to dress up and really make an effort to look good during the party. Personally, I make it a point to prepare and I mean a lot. Go to the department store and see what looks good on me and of course to make sure, it is the last stock or the only design or the only color for such outfit. I cannot forgive myself wearing the same outfit with someone else, that actually sucks! From hair style to dress and to bag or purse and of course the lovely hot shoes. If you have someone with the same everything.. :) You may spell it as DISASTER. It urged you to go home and close the deal for fun and drinks and cute boys.. :) 

I have here a little compilation of Hollywood actresses wearing the same dress and worse the same event.. :)


A diva dress showdown at the 1998 VMAs when Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston showed up the samesies.
 Reese Witherpoon wore the same Chanel white and gold dress to the Golden Globes as Kirsten Dunst. Luckily, it was three years after Kirsten wore it.
 Taylor Swift wore the same dress as her wax sculpture at Madame Tussauds. Luckily wax Taylor forget her hair was supposed to be curly, so the overall effect wasn’t too identical.
 Miley Cyrus and Kim Cattrall mocked red carpet matchy-ness in “Sex and the City 2.” It was intentional though.
 Kristin Cavallari and Roxy Olin competed for best-dressed at the Jill Stuart fashion show. It’s basically East Coast versus West Coast.
 Shakira and Pink must have called each other before the 2009 VMAs and planned to wear the same Balmain studded leather dress.
 Last week, Nicky Hilton and Jamie King both arrived at the launch party for the new line, UK Style by French Connection, and started posing on the red carpet for photographers. But then they had a moment much like the one Brenda and Kelly had before the Spring Fling dance on “Beverly Hills, 90210”—they realized that they were wearing the exact same dress. Luckily, the ladies took the moment in stride and decided to take snapshots together. After all, they’d at least styled the gold, sequined cheetah print dress differently.
 Eva Longoria and Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding were twin ladies in red at a London charity event last year.
 Brooke Burke and Carmen Electra showed up wearing carbon copy dresses, too, Carmen rocking it with a blazer. But these two weren’t as excited by the coincidence. Brooke tweeted, “Two other women are wearing the same dress I am!!!! How tacky PR!!!”
Jamie Lee Curtis and Sigourney Weaver were turquoise twinsies at the “You Again” premiere. Wait, this one was totally on purpose.




Whatever! They are all hot on it.. :)
