Britney Spears and Kim Kardashian
When Britney Spears makes a rare appearance on the red carpet nothing is left to chance. Her hair is perfect, make-up expertly applied and outfit carefully chosen by a stylist. But one thing her handlers
couldn't plan for was Kim Kardashian's decision to wear the exact same dress.
The fashion disaster was made worse by the fact that Kim wore the dress first, a day before Britney took to the stage at the high-profile Wango Tango event in Los Angeles.
The clinging red and white strapless mini was chosen by reality star Kim for a date with boyfriend Kris Humphries to the Zuma restaurant in Miami Beach.
The 30-year-old paired the geometrically patterned design with a silver clutch and white and black high heels.
There was a noticeable difference between dance-honed Britney's svelte figure and Kim's famously curvy derriere.
But unlike Kim, whose curves meant she was left anxiously hitching up the dress throughout the evening, Britney seemed to have no trouble keeping it up.
Kim is a known fashion-lover, changing her outfit several times a day to provide photo opportunities for the paparazzi who follow her around.
Meanwhile Britney is rarely seen on the red carpet these days, but with an upcoming tour to promote has made a few carefully selected public appearances in recent days.
Last night the singer was at Kiss FM's Wango Tango event at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles.
