Many celebrities rely on teams of stylists and makeup artists to craft standout looks, yet originality isn't always guaranteed. Stars often gravitate toward similar designer pieces, sometimes even intentionally mirroring each other. While some subtly borrow details, others opt for nearly identical ensembles.

Claudia Schiffer and Margot Robbie

In 2020, the Barbie star exuded vintage glamour at the Oscars red carpet in a stunning 1994 Chanel Couture gown. However, her exact ensemble was never seen on the fashion house's runway — it was a unique hybrid of two dresses from the 1994 collection, one of which was originally modeled by Claudia Schiffer.

"We were obsessed with '90s supermodels for hair and makeup, so there was something really great about [the dress] being [worn on] '90s Claudia Schiffer because she was our inspiration," stylist Kate Young revealed. "It's classic, yet carries a dramatic flair that’s perfect for the Oscars."

Christina Aguilera and Kim Kardashian

It turns out that Kim Kardashian doesn’t just find inspiration in Naomi Campbell’s wardrobe, but also in Christina Aguilera’s style as well. The fans of this it-girl noticed that her snow-white outfit with cowboy leather pants is very similar to the legendary look from the singer’s music video Dirrty. It’s also interesting that Kim’s younger sister, Kylie Jenner, had already recreated this outfit right down to the tiniest detail.

Princess Diana and Kate Middleton

While some celebrities get inspired by the style of Kate Middleton, the duchess herself considers her mother-in-law a role model. Her numerous outfits that have similar features to Princess Diana’s iconic looks prove this assumption. For example, the look the duchess chose to attend a parade in, in 2006, was probably borrowed from Princess Diana.

Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston

Brad Pitt’s ex-wives are always compared and pitted against each other in the media and on social networks. And the media have their reasons for doing this. Their fans have noticed that some of Jolie’s outfits have something in common with Aniston’s looks. In particular, the black floor-length dress with a high slit which Angelina wore at the Oscar ceremony in 2012 is reminiscent of Aniston’s dress she wore at a public event in 2010.

Rihanna and Rita Ora

Since Rita Ora appeared in show business for the first time, people started to compare her with Rihanna. And there were reasons for this — many of her outfits clearly resemble the gowns of the singer from Barbados. Rita got inspired by Rihanna’s everyday and evening outfits, as well as by her stage costumes. For example, Rita wore a satin dress with a high slit on the red carpet 2 years after Rihanna shone brightly in a similar outfit.

Kate Moss and Sienna Miller

The cold war between Kate Moss and Sienna Miller has been going on for over 10 years. As usual, it all started with a man. The fact is that Miller stole Jude Law from the model’s best friend, actress Sadie Frost. And the fact that Sienna takes inspiration from Kate's outfits only adds fuel to the fire. Jeans and sweaters with stripes, leopard prints, fur coats and jackets, fringe boots — these clothing elements give us a reason to believe that Jude Law's ex-lover borrows from Kate's ideas.

Madonna and Lady Gaga

In 2011, a serious scandal flared up around Lady Gaga’s name — many people noticed that her new track, “Born This Way” sounds a lot like Madonna’s hit “Express Yourself.” These singers have similarities not only in their music, but in their style as well. Lady Gaga has been seen several times wearing outfits that clearly resemble Madonna’s signature style, like conical bras, mesh tights, corsets, high leather boots, and other clothing items.

Mariah Carey and Ariana Grande

Grande imitates her idol, Mariah Carey, in everything — in her manner of performance, style of music, behavior, and looks. And it seems like she isn’t even trying to hide it. Short tops, denim shorts, tight dresses with corsets — all of these clothing ideas were borrowed from Carey’s wardrobe. But Ariana also has her own signature style that many of her fans have adopted — her famous high ponytail.

Kate Middleton and Caitlin Jenner

In 2015, when Caitlin Jenner gained self-confidence, she started to appear often in public and pose for the paparazzi wearing exquisite outfits. It seems like she decided to learn from the experience of her acknowledged style icon, Kate Middleton, who she’s taken many ideas for her looks from. For example, Caitlin’s blue dress with lace very much resembles an outfit that Duchess of Cambridge chose for a public event in 2011.

Victoria Beckham and Chloe Moretz

When Chloe Moretz started dating Brooklyn Beckham, the dollish dresses she used to love got replaced with more business-style outfits, which Victoria isn’t indifferent to. Pantsuits, blouses, classic coats, oversized jackets — it seems like the actress borrowed all these looks from her potential mother-in-law. And although Chloe and Brooklyn have already broken up, the young star still appears in these types of strict and concise outfits to this day.

Naomi Campbell, Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner

The it-girl often appears in public wearing outfits that are reminiscent of the 1990s, but it seems like her inspiration doesn’t just come from the period itself, but from the supermodel, Naomi Campbell. Kim Kardashian has borrowed many ideas from the runway star and appeared in public wearing exactly the same dresses and outfits. In 2019, she tried on the iconic leopard jumpsuit, which Campbell wore at a fashion show back in 1991. Kardashian isn’t ashamed by this, and she leaves captions under her posts with the looks borrowed from the supermodel that say, “Naomi Forever.”

In January 2025, Kylie Jenner turned heads as she stepped out for lunch at Bar des Prés sushi restaurant in Paris. The 27-year-old makeup mogul stunned in a sleek, figure-hugging black mini-dress that accentuated her toned legs.

The skintight ensemble featured long sleeves and a striking leopard print design along the torso, bearing a strong resemblance to a look previously worn by Naomi Campbell and Kylie’s older sister, Kim.
