That awkward "same outfit moment" ...What to do‽

Which is worse? Turning up at some party wearing an outfit similar to somebody else's or sporting a frock with a color or pattern very much resembling the party venue's curtains or table linen? It's certainly disastrous either way but such awkwardness happens occasionally. It even happens to celebrities and high profile personalities.

So...

What to do?

One of the most effective solutions can be as simple as laughter.  That awkward  moment is certainly funny. What better way to deal with it than to burst into a hearty laugh.

It happens among males, too. And it couldn't get more awkward than sitting right beside each other wearing highly conspicuous pink tops. Laughter can do the trick though pretending to be oblivious of the situation or other people's reactions may also work.

But sometimes, acknowledging it and posing for a truly memorable photo can be more effective.

If you're filthy rich, you don't really easily get bothered with it. Ask  Jaime King and Nicky Hilton. You can always try acting and projecting like a socialite.

However, if you're somebody famous and you happen to be seated on the same row in a FASHION EVENT, you can be subtly cattily fierce by showing that you can wear the outfit way better. Highlight the curves. Show them long legs....if you have them.

Lastly, go beyond simple laughter. Act like you know the other person  so well and make everybody believe that  there's no awkwardness to deal with. It's a fashionista nightmare but you don't necessarily have to despair and leave. You can even use it to be in the news and add more life to the party.
