IIFA weekend came and went and only two celebrities got slightly caught in the red-carpet outfit crossfire. Dia Mirza and Deepika Padukone wore two very similar Sabyasachi outfits over the same weekend. Thankfully, on two separate nights.
They got lucky, but what happens when you don’t? What do you do when your outfit clone is standing a few feet away, and all you want is the floor to open up and swallow you whole?
Here are 10, not so conventional, things you can do when you’re caught off guard – and some for if you don’t want to be put in that spot.
– Let out a sigh of relief! The outfit your wearing isn’t as bad as you thought.
– Risk the awkwardness and go up to your clone. Tell her she has great taste and wait for a second while she realizes you’re both wearing the same outfit!
– Stop shopping at that chain store you KNOW everyone goes to!
– Pull a Samantha Jones à la Sex & The City and own it!
– Customize all your clothes. Its time to bring out those DIY kits.
– Get together and pretend you both are twins. You know you’ve always wanted one.
– Hide behind the tall guy – At all times.
– Always be prepared! – Carry a cover-up or jacket everywhere you go.
– We suggest you don’t do this, but if it’s absolutely necessary, leave and go change. Or if you’re one of the Mean Girls, make her go home and change.
And lastly,
– #selfie! – Because, why not?
