While actor Sonakshi Sinha looked stunning in her Reem Acra gown, we couldn’t help but spot the same dress on another celebrity — a famous Victoria’s Secret model. Take a look for yourself.

If you ask any celebrity what one of their big red carpet fears is, they will likely tell you repeating an outfit. Because no one wants to land on the ‘who wore it better’ page. Luckily though, two beautiful celebrities — actor Sonakshi Sinha and model Adriana Lima — wore the same black Reem Acra gown and both rocked it, so there is no fail here.

This flawless fashion coincidence produced two gorgeous looks, but naturally we have to discuss it, because duh — it’s celebrity fashion and fawning over what famous people wear is one of our favourite pastimes.

So, on to the looks: On Friday, Sonakshi attended a charity gala hosted by Women’s India Association at Grosvenor House Hotel in London, where she wore an unorthodox black wedding gown from the designer’s Bridal Spring 2018 collection.

Sonakshi’s atypical cape sleeve gown was sexy, modern, and very glamorous in a luxurious way. It featured tiers of draped jewels dipping down the décolletage. Sonakshi toned down on the accessories to keep the focus on her show-stopping ensemble and wore her hair poker straight, looking absolutely perfect for summer.

Take a look for yourself:

In May 2017, Brazilian model and actor, Adriana, a Victoria’s Secret Angel since 1999, wore the exact same Reema Acra dress to the Chopard party at Cannes Film Festival. Also, like Sonakshi, Adriana styled her hair and make-up similarly. It is worth pointing out that each celeb looked amazing regardless.

While Sonakshi brought a little more drama with her thick eyeliner, Adriana paired the dress with nude make-up and minimal jewellery — a pair of diamond earrings. The light make-up and sleek locks gave an angelic illusion to her overall look.

Both Sonakshi and Adriana brought something truly unique to the table, so this fashion accident isn’t a bad thing, it’s doubly delightful. This is a perfect illustration of how no one ‘wore it better,’ but each woman made it her own with a signature style.

Honestly guys, there’s really no need to rack your brains over who wore it best. Both ladies look gorgeous! Besides, all of our brain power is currently consumed with trying to figure out how to have this gorgeous gown teleported to our closet.
