Canadian makeup wizard Mimi Choi creates optical illusions on her own face. Sometimes, they’re beautiful. Other times, they’re bizarre. And then there are times that they’re just baffling. But in this digital age, the super-talented young lady hasn’t taken the easy route and used Photoshop. In fact, all her creations are made using traditional makeup.

This was one of her first makeup optical illusions from when she started in 2017. She calls this piece of art Worlds Within Me, and it was inspired by a surreal drawing.

Another talented makeup artist is Dain Yoon from South Korea. Known for her face and body painting, she has more than half a million followers on Instagram. She started painting at a very young age. And she immediately excelled at art.

So, it’s hardly surprising Dain graduated at the top of her class from two of Korea’s most prestigious art schools. Several of her designs feature this wavy effect. It looks like a painting, but it’s achieved using only makeup.

This is Luca Luce, who hails from one of the world’s fashion capitals — Milan, Italy. His Instagram profile proclaims he is the “First hand and head painter 3D in the world.” We’re not sure about that, Luca, as people must have been painting their heads for centuries.

Mexican people do it every November for their Day of the Dead festival. However, Luca’s little boast doesn’t make his designs any less impressive. If proof was even needed that reading gives you brains, here’s Luca to put that argument to bed.

Andy is another up-and-coming makeup artist who shows off his 3D designs on social media. He has swathes of Instagram and TikTok followers.

We don’t even know his full name, but he likes to create horror-themed designs — and this one is inspired by the Mexican Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead festival. Andy has updated the classic skull look with some 21st-century neon elements of his own. Check out those crazy red contact lenses and the green dye in his hair.

Cakeface RJ is a gifted makeup influencer from the United States who’s also huge on social media. According to the trendsetter, “Being able to work with Instagram when my career began on Instagram is crazy. It’s like a full-circle moment. I know people who have worked in the makeup industry for ten years, and to see how far I have come in just three years, thanks to Instagram, is crazy.

RJ continued, “It’s been a really interesting journey but a great one. I’ve had a really positive experience overall.” This design sees her trying to crawl out of her own face. We know the feeling, RJ!

Mimi Choi is lucky to hail from Vancouver, British Columbia. She started as a kindergarten teacher before enrolling in Blanche Macdonald, “Canada’s Number One College for Makeup Artistry, Hair Design, Fashion Aesthetics, and Nail Artistry.”

This is not Mimi in the photo; it’s her little sister, Kendahl ‘Lahbra’ Jung, who’s also an artist. Can you believe little sis actually went out for dinner looking like this? You can bet Kendahl turned a few heads and caught everyone’s eye in the restaurant!

Amongst all her crazy imaginative designs, Cakeface RJ also has a talent for painting famous people… using her own visage as the canvas. So, while at first glance you might think this is just an oil painting of everyone’s favorite chat show host, Oprah Winfrey, RJ has actually painted the Queen of Daytime’s face over the top of her own face!

Every little detail is perfect, from the hair and the smile lines around Oprah’s mouth to the reflection in her glasses. Well done, RJ — this is great!

Luca Luce has been a TV celebrity makeup artist for over 20 years. But in 2014, he decided to create optical illusion makeup designs. He began by using his own hands as canvas but quickly started using his head and face as a canvas for his mind-boggling 3D artwork.

But one day, Luca finally cracked, and here’s the evidence! He’s used his cue bald noggin to lay an egg… from which a baby chick has just hatched.

Mimi Choi confesses she finds inspiration in many forms and once stated, “I get a lot of my inspiration from photography, paintings, and emotions.” This melting face is reminiscent of Salvador Dali’s works.

His artworks often feature things melting, most often clocks, which symbolize the impermanence and meaningless of time, especially in the abstract dream world. We’re not sure what Mimi’s melting face symbolizes. Maybe she created this one the morning after a late night out with the girls!

Salvador Dali and surrealism are not the only artist and genres that Mimi takes inspiration from. In this photo, she’s gone a bit Pablo Picasso by introducing cubism to her face. Cubism was one of the most influential visual art styles of the early 20th century.

The art form was created by Spanish artist Pablo Picasso and French painter Georges Braque. Picasso and Georges first met in 1905. Two years later, Picasso showed his friend the first-ever Cubist painting, Les Demoiselles d’Avignon.

Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, and Mimi Choi aren’t the only artists who think it’s hip to be square. Luca Luce has also gone early 20th Century cubist for this face and head design. Behind the blocky nose and cheek, he’s blended his hair and beard with black paint to create a dark background.

This way, it looks like his blocky, cubist cheek is jutting out from the darkness. Without this touch, it wouldn’t look half as 3D as it does.

Dain Yoon also tried her hand at cubism, although she may have taken it a bit literally by painting her face and body with cubes. We’re not sure what passers-by on the streets of Seoul thought. They might have thought they were witnessing a Korean horror movie come to life!

Dain also revealed her fascination with illusions — “The reason I started to paint illusions is that I believe people live in illusions. People perceive everything in their own subjective way. My illusions distort reality and perception that are generally shared by most people.”

This optical illusion really stumped us. We have no idea how Mimi pulled this off. And the longer you look at it, the more stumped you become! So we can all agree that her real arm is entering the side of her head, and she’s painted her hand onto her face. So far, we’re up to speed…

But, how on earth do her fingers extend beyond her face? Did she paint them onto her hair? It’s genuinely baffling!

Don’t you think Luca Luce looks like Freddie Mercury in this one? Even when this cool cat is “under pressure,” Luca has a “flash” of inspiration. So, he says “don’t stop me now” and insists that “the show must go on” in order to create his stunning designs.

Even when he’s “lazing on a Sunday afternoon,” Luca has “one vision” regarding 3D makeup. “The good old fashion lover boy’s” designs are “a kind of magic.” And speaking of Freddie Mercury…

This is how most of us feel when we wake up every morning! It’s a great illusion, but you can just about make out Mimi’s hair. She says most of her illusion makeup looks are achieved using regular beauty makeup products, makeup brushes, and fine detail paint brushes.

“My favorite tools have to be my Cozzette vegan makeup brushes, and my go-to products are Make Up for Ever Flash Palette and eyeshadows, Stila and NYX liquid eyeliners, and Kryolan aqua colors.”

Here, Dain Yoon can be seen trying to blend in with her laptop. Who says creative types are disorganized? We do! Look at the state of her desktop. Never mind cleaning her face of that makeup; she really needs to spend a couple of hours cleaning up her desktop!

Dain explained that, contrary to popular belief, she doesn’t perceive illusions as a means of deception. “I think that anything that seems slightly different from its original form could be an illusion or take you out of the illusion you’re living in.”

Cakeface RJ is back with a wonderfully wet optical illusion. The hand and glass of water are real, but she’s painted every other element on her own face and body. And isn’t the effect fantastic?

As you can see, the real water stays in the glass, and the painted water falls into the hole in her forehead before cascading out like mini waterfalls from her cheeks and collecting in a pool on her neck. Do you think RJ’s water-flushing technique might be available for brains? If so, where do we sign up?

Like many creative folk, Mimi is a bit of a night owl. She says, “I feel most creative past midnight when everyone is asleep and the world is quiet.” She often starts late when the rest of the world is turning in for the night and works through the night to create her incredible pieces of art.

When she’s not sleeping during the day, Mimi often wears sunglasses to hide her eye circles from staying up late.

Luca says, “I am inspired by everything from magic and fantasy, I never attended art school, but I love makeup and 3D art, so I got the idea of trying to paint images on my hand using makeup. For a small job like a spider resting on the face, it takes just half an hour.”

Luca continues, “For something more complex like cubism on the whole face, it can take two hours or more.” But when it’s his birthday, he makes himself a birthday cake… on his own head!

Like all artists, Dain Yoon revealed that it took her a while before she found her own style. But once she’d mastered the art, she created this stunning nocturnal piece of artwork. It doesn’t work great as camouflage, but she effortlessly blends into the Korean sunset behind her.

We don’t know if she took her inspiration from Vincent Van Gogh’s most beautiful painting, Starry Night, but we’d like to think so. As such, we’ll call this one Starry Seoul Night.

With a little more digging, we’ve discovered that Andy hails from Poitiers in western France. Here’s his attempt at looking like a male Na’vi from James Cameron’s super-successful Avatar film franchise. He’s definitely captured the fearless warrior aesthetic, and the colors, tones, and shadowing are fantastic.

Check out his cheekbones beneath all that makeup. It must have taken him ages. The only element we’re not sure about is the ears. Begging the question, have male Na’vi always had such adorable little pink pixie ears? And what’s going on with his nose? It looks a little rude!

And here’s Cakeface RJ’s attempt at looking like a female Na’vi from the Avatar films. She’s gone for a completely different style to Andy’s — much more feminine with a soft focus feel. Instead of going for crazy colored contact lenses, RJ’s actually painted those huge anime-style eyes onto her eyelids.

After doing a little research on the interwebs, we found out that female Na’vi do actually have some pink in their ears but not as bright as Andy’s or RJ’s lovely pink ears.

These gorgeous blue butterflies escaping from Mimi’s gorgeous face are great. But we don’t quite understand how they’re flying away, unless they’re somehow attached to her hair by wires. This beautiful design must have taken forever to create.

Mimi says she like a challenge and confesses her works of art take her anywhere between one and five hours. She said, “I like creating optical illusions with makeup because it’s the most challenging makeup style out of everything I’ve tried, and I like challenges.”

It’s little wonder Luca Luce is so darned creative. Here he is with Jack Skellington rattling around in his brain, providing the marvelous Milanese makeup man with all the inspirational juices he needs, whatever the season. Come Halloween or Christmas, Luca is always creating.

Jack Skellington, aka The Pumpkin King, appeared in Henry Selick’s 1993 stop-motion animation masterpiece The Nightmare Before Christmas. Henry Selick, we hear you cry! Who’s he? Well, he directed The Nightmare Before Christmas — not Tim Burton.

Here, Mimi has transformed her face into a piece of broken Chinese pottery. Blue and white Qinghua porcelain is China’s most famous porcelain and has been produced for over a thousand years. The beautiful traditional designs often feature flowers, fishes, or scenes of rural life in ancient China. But on this occasion, Mimi has opted for a striking dragon pattern.

The broken crockery has spilled out across the table while Mimi’s face is hollow. As well as the impressive dragon, notice how realistic the plate’s cracks are on her face.

That super-talented lady Cakeface RJ has come up trumps again. This time, she’s turned herself into rapper Chris Brown. While her Oprah Winfrey looked like an oil painting, this version of Rihanna’s ex is so life-like and photorealistic, RJ could probably walk down the street and get asked for her autograph.

Well, pop fans would actually be asking for Chris Brown’s autograph, but you know what we mean! She spent hours on this and confessed the hardest part was getting Chris’ red hair right.

This cup of tea in the process of spilling is stunning and must have taken all day. Or all night in Mimi’s case. The brilliant piece shows a milky cup of tea spilling from quite some height out of a teacup and splashing all over the table.

But in between the cup and the table is Mimi’s face. You can see the strands of her hair in the liquid tea. If you look closely enough, you can still make out her gorgeous eyes, nose, and mouth.

We’ve all heard of the third eye, but did you know the pineal gland is a real eye? Going back through millions of years of evolution, it used to have an eyelid, and lizard’s pineal glands still do today. But, things get even creepier…

The basal ganglia part of our brains is also known as the lizard brain or reptilian complex, so maybe that’s where Luca Luce got his inspiration for this creepy, alien lizard crawling out of his brain design.

This example of Mimi’s work is like a fishy version of another much older piece of art called Vertumnus. It was Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s 1591 portrait of the then-current Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. But Vertumnus was unusual because Arcimboldo used fruits, vegetables, and flowers to create Rudolf II.

Vertumnus was the Roman god of seasons, change, plant growth, gardens, and fruit trees. Similarly, Mimi’s fishy face employs a whole swathe of marine life — from flatfish and shrimp to starfish and shellfish. Notice the eel wrapped around her neck.

Here’s one of Andy’s horror-themed designs. We think he’s half been possessed by some sort of Dark Elf from another far-off, fantastical, and other-worldly realm. That fantasy realm, of course, exists only in Andy’s imagination.

The makeup is fantastic, especially the black neck and jaw with silver lips, and the contact lenses make him look extremely devilish. However, we’re unsure what’s going on with all those beads and the wire getup around his face. It looks great, though, Andy!

This carousel design was the last thing Mimi should have been doing. When she finally finished painting it and posted it on her Instagram account, she wrote, “I painted this look while I was 30 weeks pregnant.”

We won’t go into the gruesome details in case you get icky, but let’s just say that Mimi also experienced several bouts of morning sickness as she created this one. Do you know what British people call carousels? Merry-go-rounds! How cute is that? Don’t tell Mimi, as it might set her off again!

If you’re wondering why Cakeface RJ goes by that name, the reason is that she has a sweet tooth. She loves ice cream so much that she can eat three at a time!

This design took her a full six hours to create, and when she had finished and was snapping the final photos, she had to rush as the ice cream pops were melting. And when she doesn’t get ice cream, that’s three more mouths and three times the volume she can scream at!

How does Mimi Choi power through her mammoth nighttime art sessions? Well, she’s finally been caught in the act. Here she is, stuffing her giant mouth with a rather bland, floppy, and uninspiring-looking pizza.

She says she “painted a piece of paper and glued it onto my skin to blend with my facepaint because it would have been impossible to disguise my real lips seamlessly! She added, “Plus, it allowed me to go far beyond the edge of my face to create a more proportionate tongue.”

Andy’s gone the full hog on this one. While he looks like he’s turned himself into a Jackson Pollock painting by having a friend throw gallons of paint all over him, we know that’s not Andy’s style. That’s far too random and haphazard for a guy like Andy.

He would have spent hours painstakingly painting every little detail. With all those pinks and yellows, the colors are incredibly striking. Once again, the contact lenses are essential, but the most striking element is those crazy eyelashes.

If you ever feel like you’re falling apart, spare a thought for poor old Mimi Choi! After Mimi’s slice of pizza, she decided she needed another slice. But this time, she plumped for a slice of life. This great design shows Mimi’s face as if it has been sliced into strips of pasta, perhaps linguini.

If you feel like you could fall into those big brown anime-sized almond-shaped eyes, think again. Those aren’t actually Mimi’s real eyes; she’s drawn those on with makeup.

Dain Yoon says, “My face is the most powerful medium of art. I can use my canvas to express my individuality.” Her handpainted designs can take anywhere from 3 to 12 hours. She says, “The real face reveals itself underneath the hand that hid it, expressing how the first impression of a person does not tell the whole story.”

And speaking of, “The real face revealing itself underneath the hand that hid it,” here’s Dain’s face on her fingernails. If you’re wondering, yes, that’s her real hair!

Cakeface RJ doesn’t just turn herself into rappers and daytime chatshow hosts like Chris Brown and Oprah Winfrey. With the right makeup and a few spare hours on any given Sunday, the unbelievably gifted artist can also turn herself into superheroes — which we think is a superpower in itself.

In this instance, she has used her face as the canvas for Marvel’s Black Panther, so brilliantly portrayed by the late, great, and sorely missed Chadwick Boseman. This is the point you cross your arms on your chest and proudly state, “Wakanda Forever!”

After pursuing art from an early age, being in the art industry since the age of 10, and undergoing years of training at two prestigious colleges, all of Dain Yoon’s hard work is finally paying off. She’s worked with Apple and BMW, and she gets to fly all over the world to show off her designs.

Here she is outside The Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. While her blue face and body art makes her look like a cubist Cleopatra, we’re not sure the camel is that impressed! Maybe he’s in denial. Get it? De Nile!

In an unusual shot, we get to see Mimi au naturel and in all her glory. She’s finally getting the props she deserves and made it to Hollywood. Here she is painting beloved actor and all-around superstar Jeff Goldblum.

Mimi posted on Instagram, “Behind the scenes of my day with Jeff Goldblum. Watch me transform Jeff in The World According to Jeff Goldblum by streaming the episode “Cosmetics” on Disney+.” So, now you know where you can watch Mimi on TV.

Dain Yoon’s exploits have taken her all the way to Hollywood with an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Appearing on Ellen’s armchair, the Korean artist sported six eyes and three mouths.

Ellen asked her if she ever went out looking like that, and Dain said she sometimes goes out in public wearing her creations, and one time she scared a baby and made them cry! The moral of the story, in the words of the great Joseph Campbell, “Follow your bliss.” In other words, do what you love, and it will take you far!

We shouldn’t have favorites, but this photo is one of our faves. As you can see with your own eyes, uber-talented makeup artist Mimi has painted dozens of eyes (with eyelashes!) onto her own face, and the Guillermo Del Toro Pan’s Labyrinth-inspired result is as shocking as it is beautiful. Surprisingly, not everyone is a fan of Mimi’s work.

She says, “I think all artists who display their work publicly are susceptible to critique because art is subjective. I tend to turn negativity into a positive force to improve on my craft.”

Believe it or not, only two of these hands are real. Dain Yoon’s real hands are the one up by her mouth and the lowest one in the bottom right of the photo. Since all art is subjective, there’s more than one way to interpret this design. The first is to see it as quite sensual, going by Dain’s expression.

But the other way is more sinister, as though she’s being captured by Thing — the dismembered hand from The Addams Family… and his siblings!

It’s not just her face that Mimi Choi paints. Here, she gets fruity by transforming her own legs into a couple of bananas. And then she went the whole hog and started peeling herself! We think the effect is great. The bananas, peeling skins, and even the little sticker look wonderfully realistic.

Although we must point out that the actual banana looks a little too bobbly. It reminds us more of corn on the cob. Not sure what we’re complaining about, as we wouldn’t know where to start!

Is it just us, or is there an element of Hieronymous Bosch’s hellscapes to this creation? Dain Yoon studied scenography, which paved the way for her theatrical career.

She said, “Since I was a freshman, I’ve done many part-time jobs that I was interested in; stylist, teacher, graphic designer, film assistant, movie makeup, theater makeup, musical costume, model, etc.” Yoon continued, “After I did many part-time jobs, I mixed all those together that I enjoyed doing. It really helped me to find my own art style.”

In this instance, Mimi Choi has given in to her sweet tooth. Because who wouldn’t wish for more mouths to eat candy? If you had nine extra mouths, what candies would you eat? We’d go for exploding popping candy, although it might be a bit like a bomb going off in your head!

This example of Mimi’s crazy makeup art is perhaps the one that looks most photoshopped, but after getting to know her work, we can safely say that it isn’t. Note to Mimi — you’re supposed to unwrap candies before eating them!

It is bad enough when the celebrity that you end up twinning with is a friend or a complete stranger, but when it is your ex, it is even more important to know who looked better in it. This happened to Caitlyn and Kris Jenner. In early 2020, Kris had an appearance on a popular British TV talk show and wore a simple yet elegant black dress with a gold zipper. Eight years previously, Caitlyn had worn the same or similar dress to a publicity event.

Sibling rivalry isn’t just reserved for the Kardashians on this list – the Hadid sisters seem to enjoy wearing the same outfit as well – and it’s hard to pick a winner for this one. Both Hadid sisters were seen out and about wearing this Tommy Hilfiger silver puffer coat. Gig kept it very ’90s with a turtleneck and jeans, while Bella was seen wearing it a few months later with more of an athletic look. Let’s be honest, they’re both stunning no matter what they wear.

Fashion knows no gender, and that means that sometimes you will be competing with the opposite one, just like Miley Cyrus and Harry Styles did in this black sequined jumpsuit. In 2019 at the Oscar party for Vanity Fair, Cyrus strolled down the carpet in this chic little number, and a short while later, the former One Direction member rocked it at his SNL performance. The two even seem to have the same accessorizing thoughts too. Both definitely looked good.

Rocking the runway at the Netflix Creative Arts Emmy’s afterparty, Jonathan Van Ness, one of the stars of Queer Eye, rocked this stunning fuchsia trapeze dress. The strapless number designed by Rochas was also the same dress worn by the British comedic actress Jameela Jamil at a YSL party in late 2019. No need for users to choose, Jameela copped to the fact that Jonathan wore it better on Twitter.

This entry from one of the Kardashian clan members is going up against Winnie Harlow. Both took a spin around town sporting this green Maisie Wilen dress. Kim opted to tie in the yellow accent with a pair of strappy sandals. Having the same thought, Ms. Harlow chose to pick up the accent by matching her clutch to the yellow. Neither of them did any harm to this dress. In fact, they both kind of slayed it.

It is pretty common nowadays for stars to create their own fashion line. When they do, what better a way to get some free publicity than to wear it out and about on the town yourself?! Sofia Vergara did that with a cut midi dress from her Sofia jeans by Sofia Vergara line. Then just a few months later, Brook Burke was spotted attending a meeting wearing the same dress.

It might not seem fair to ask who wore it better when one of the participants is clearly pregnant, but when you’re a star, all bets go out the window when it comes to fashion. So when Meghan Markle stepped out in the same dress as Posh Spice herself, Victoria Beckham, there were sure to be some comparisons. Both chose colored accents, but Posh’s accent is just a bit brighter.

Zendaya has come a long way since her Disney days and has cemented herself as quite the fashion icon (hence why she is on our list more than once). In early 2020 at one of the many awards ceremonies on her to-do list, Zendaya rocked a Tom Ford metallic breastplate. That same piece was also worn by Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar just a month later.

The unisex look is something that not everyone can pull off, but Zendaya definitely seems to have it down to a tee. She sported a charcoal grey suit from Berluti to a Harper’s Bazaar event that had previously seen the red carpet on the back of Michael B. Jordan. Being the gentleman he is, Michael answered the question before we even asked via twitter. His opinion? Zendaya, all the way!

The sisters of the Kardashian/Jenner household seem to like to strut their stuff in the same things. This just begs us to compare them with each other, like in this animal print one-piece. The one-piece from Onia x We Wore was donned by the younger sister on her trip to Turks & Caicos. There, she posed for a few ‘grams. Not to be outdone, just a few months later, Khloe sported the same suit on her trip, posting an image to Instagram as well.

The Bachelor is a phenomenon that has gone on for seasons, and many of the past alums have made quite the name for themselves. Two of these attended the same party and wore the same dress. This could have been the height of embarrassment, but both rocked it their own way. Kristina chose to go business and accessorize it with a blazer and booties, whereas Danielle decided to go a little more hip and pair it with a leather jacket and white sneakers.

Fierce is one word some would use to describe the Kardashian sisters, and in this case, they would not be wrong. Both Kim and Kourtney chose to wear this tiger printed Roberto Cavalli dress. Kim sported it first, and then a few months later, the elder sibling attempted to show her how it was done. Which sibling did it serve better? That is up to them, and hopefully, it doesn’t lead to another catfight.

Bella Hadid walked the runway and took fashion to the races with this checkerboard cape and short pairing. She definitely worked it on the runway. A few months later, another star worked it maybe just a little harder. Rihanna, the pop icon, loved the look so much she took it out for a spin to a concert. This concert was on her home island of Barbados, and she lit the night on fire in this fantastic ensemble.

Even when you are pregnant, you still want to look pretty, and especially when you are holidaying in Morocco. Duchess Meghan Markle chose to do that in a blue Carolina Herrera dress. That same dress found its way to the Game of Thrones season 8 premiere. This time it was worn by actress Amanda Peet with a bit of a different fitting, of course. The glow that Meghan had changed everything, and for this one, she may have had a little bit of an advantage.

There are plenty of men who like to show off their fashion abilities, and one of the biggest is Kanye West. During his 2011 Coachella performance, he sported this Celine top without ever breaking his swag. That same shirt was thrown over a simple white tee seven years later by Travis Scott, and still, the shirt screams “I know how to dress.” Both rappers understand how to leave their mark when it comes to fashion.

The Euphoria stars seem to have a similar style when it comes to red carpet events. Zendaya, a few years ago, chose to wear a beautiful fuchsia Christian Siriano suit to a Humane Society event. Inspired by this bold and stylish look, her now co-star Timothee Chalamet opted to wear something very similar. This time, the hot pink suit was designed by British fashion designer, Stella McCartney. Both clearly have a wicked eye for style.

Both of these stunning actresses know what looks good on them, and apparently, the same printed Kate Spade dress is one of those things. Olivia Wilde chose to go with a bolder color, making her modeling of this dress a little more memorable. But Priyanka wasn’t to be outdone, choosing to go a little more subdued with her color choice (despite being able to rock that bright pink very well). Both have a keen eye and looked stunning in the dress.

Dior has been a name in women’s fashion for decades, and so everyone wants to wear a piece when they go out on the town or to a special event. So when this fly leather cage skirt found its way into the hands of both YouTube star Jackie Aina and the comedic actress Tracee Ellis Ross, there were bound to be some arguments over who wore it with better vibes. Tracee chose to wear the skirt a little more business chic than Jackie, but both got it right.

Another entry from the Duchess herself, Meghan Markle. This time she wore a beautiful navy Roland Mouret dress to an event the night before her illustrious wedding. She accessorized the dress with simple jewelry and tasteful pumps. Just months before, Jennifer Garner wore that same dress as she accepted her place on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The actress chose to go without any accessories.

There are just some names that are synonymous with fashion, and one of them is Versace, hence the iconic and classic reputation of the designer and his clothes. That is why, no matter the age, if you want to look fabulous, investing in a Versace piece is a good bet. Dua Lipa and Gigi Hadid know this, as is evident by their choice to rock a multi-colored jumpsuit. Gigi wore it first on the carpet at a fashion awards show. But Dua chose to wear it out for a fun night in New York City. Both know what they’re doing when it comes to fashion, that is for sure.

It is rare that you get a mother-son “who wore it best?”, but here you have it. Fashion influencer Leone Lucia chose to take the question to her Gram. There, she posted this image of both wearing the same t-shirt. The cute novelty tee from Fiorucci looks great on both, but we think Chiara has the better model pose, so he clearly wins the contest. Plus, he is just plain adorable.

Who are you wearing? Fendi, of course, was the response of both Mary J. Blige and Olivia Munn. Both chose to take this black and white jumpsuit out on the town. Mary J. sported hers to the Essence Festival and paired it with a pair of matching peep-toe pumps. Olivia, on the other hand, chose to go a little more relaxed. But no matter how the outfit was worn, it looked great on both of these amazingly beautiful ladies.

Did Whoopi inspire Demi? Who knows, but both hit the red carpets strutting their stuff in this cheetah print Dior gown. Goldberg wore it to the 2009 Oscars and Lovato nine years later at the Billboard Music Awards. There is a little difference, of course – one wore a belt and let their legs slip through a slit, and the other went for a more covered-up look. Neither was wrong, and both were fun.

A simple little black lace top can be quite the addition to any outfit, but these two actresses took that idea to a whole new, yet very simple level. Emmy Rossum chose to don this number at a very special book launch. Just a few days later, Beth Ehlers from 2 Broke Girls took the same top on a spin down the red carpet to a Hollywood premiere. Both paired it with a high waisted pair of pants and some cute pumps.

Seasoned veteran versus new blood? A generational “who wore it best?”. The iconic veteran actress Helen Mirren took a spin in a Prabal Gurung with ruffles to a film premiere. Keeping it classy, she paired it with a gray heel and a perfect little clutch. As an alternative, the young star of Vampire Diaries, Nina Dobrev, wore the same dress to her premiere of Flatliners. She took a little more edge to it and paired it with a set of strappy jeweled pumps.

Zendaya, as we have already said, loves a good pantsuit, so when it came time to collaborate with the world-class designer Tommy Hilfiger, she had to include one in her line, and show it off. A little while later, the young star of A Wrinkle in Time, Storm Reid, chose to rock the same suit. She decided to make it a little more dressy by throwing the blazer over her shoulders.

Meghan Markle and Courtney Love don’t have a lot in common except for their fame, and maybe a bit of style. The two ladies both put on a classy black Stella McCartney coat as they went out on the town. The Duchess wore hers on a trip to Wales, while the rocker chose to wear hers at a YSL event in Paris. Both wore it well and chose to style it in their own unique ways.

Tartan is a fabric that has a classic and chic look, no matter how it is worn. Busy Phillips thought she would try on a Brunello Cuccinelli suit that Blake Lively had taken out on the town a few months previously. Busy chose to let the suit do the talking, whereas Blake opted to top it with a long leather trench. Both took their own style and made the suit work for them.

Both of these young celebrities decided to show their support for women’s rights and power by pairing this comfy t-shirt with denim. The style was not chic, more of an everyday wear kind of situation. But, both Roberts and Ambrosio were still able to make the shirt their own by pairing it with different denim types. That pretty much makes this contest a wash.

The musician vs. actress “who wore it best?” lives on when it comes to this rainbow sequined dress from Christopher Kane. Katy Perry decided this was the look she wanted to strut on an appearance on a morning talk show. On the other hand, the actress Kat Graham (who, by the way, is also a musician) took the same look and paired it with a different shoe for a more relaxed look. Don’t get us wrong, she still looked chic. It was just a little less flashy than the red pumps that Perry wore.

A sleek suit is definitely the one thing you don’t want to miss out on in your closet. This suit comes in two different colors (or at least these two put it in two different types of lighting). It looks like Michael B. Jordan took a deep charcoal gray while Zendaya chose a deep gray-blue. Both of these stars kept this suede suit simple and buttoned with a dress shirt underneath and a tie to complete the look. But there’s something about Zendaya’s stance with one leg out slightly and a hand in the pocket that definitely seems to set it off right.

This tunic-style dress is one that creates a statement on its own in a monochromatic black and white. The deep V of the neckline is a little bold but still conservative enough to be worn without anything under it, like Kendall decided to do. Or you can add something under it like Rita. While Kendall kept things simple with a straight hairstyle and no accessories, Rita paired a fishnet style shirt under this tunic as well as fishnet stockings. And the bold makeup and braids definitely complete the look.

These two had some spectacular fashion sense with their Yousef Aljasmi gowns for two different formal events. The form-fitting gold dresses most definitely turned heads, and these two women knew how to pull off all of that sparkle and then some. Beyonce paired her version with a cute clutch and some bright, shiny earrings while Keke kept things a little more subdued. Though her bright white nail polish definitely set off the dress as well.

This leopard print jacket definitely pairs well with an all-black ensemble and both of these women knew that when they ventured out with it. Matching black bags, black leggings, and of course their long blonde, hair make it difficult to determine just which of these two pulled off the best look. While Nikki kept her jacket all buttoned up, Ashley chose to leave it wide open to show off the perfect clothing choice underneath. Not to mention the oversized sunglasses that really pull off that casual style.

These two rocked out in the same David Koma dress, but in two completely different colors. Black and white are an excellent complement to one another, with a sleek, monochromatic look, and maybe these two are both the winners in this dress. Doutzen chose strappy sandals and no accessories for her rendition (though the beachy waves in her hair might be considered an accessory). Gwen instead chose some more classic pumps and plenty of silver bangles to make the look her own.

The Duchess definitely knows how to dress and this outfit by Emilia Wickstead is no exception. She chose to pair the black version of this button-down dress with a cute hat and pocketbook for a royal occasion. On the other hand, Rosamund Pike chose the white version without the accessories. Both dresses give a springtime look and accentuate a smaller waist. Not to mention all those buttons down the front that really set off the look. These monochromatic twins definitely make it difficult to decide who did the best job.

With this dress, you’re definitely going to get all the attention. The high neck, long sleeves, and long skirt make it more conservative, but that slit up the side and the glitter all over definitely make sure you’re going to be noticed. And that’s exactly what Kris Jenner and Jennifer Lopez both did. J Lo decided to create an intricate updo with simple stones at her ears. On the other hand, Kris chose a little more glitz for her jewelry, including rings and bracelets, and kept her short hair more simply styled.

Between these two, this pantsuit definitely makes an impression. Miley chose to wear it in a slightly baggy style, while Lena went with a slightly more fitted look. But both pulled off the casual, hands in the pockets routine when it was time for the photos. The all-black of the pantsuit itself is slimming and yet still bold, but it’s the white stripe across the top that really sets it off. Both of these celebs chose to keep the jewelry practically non-existent, with Miley pulling out only a single bracelet on each wrist for the occasion.

This unique black skirt is definitely one way to make a statement. The black color means that it pairs with anything and the woven design gives it just the right hint of style. Tracee chose to pair hers with a black top and black jacket along with a gold necklace and clutch. On the other hand, Jackie chose a black dress shirt, tucked in for a bit more professional look, and a statement bag. But the all-black style for both is definitely sleek and oh so gorgeous.

This mauve colored dress features casual straps and a straight neckline with a cinched waist and a slightly full (but short) skirt. It’s definitely the kind of dress you can wear to an event like Saldana, or out for a stroll like Kim. Both paired the dress with some more classic pumps but with a little bit of a strappy look. Plus their long dark hair really complimented the fact that this dress bares a little bit more of their shoulders. Why not show off those great locks?

This play on a schoolgirl outfit (or maybe it’s a nuns habit) definitely has some fun to it. The black dress with white accents creates its own style. Perhaps that’s why each chose to pair it with simple accessories like Reese’s pearl and gold earrings and Paula’s fishnet style stockings. The end result is a somewhat demure dress, that still gives a bit of edgy vibe. After all, they’ve each got their own style to rock, right? And for any event, this dress really does make an impression.

These two rocked out with the same dress at the MTV Awards and both of them definitely knew what they were doing. This leather look dress creates a unique vibe and the short, strapless, fitted style definitely showed off their own personal styles. Pink chose to pair it with pumps while Shakira went with tall black boots to complete the look. It’s definitely a look that fits the MTV awards, and wouldn’t look out of place in a nightclub either. Not to mention it pairs great with the short punk hairstyle Pink has and the long, messy waves that Shakira is rocking.

This see-through red dress definitely does have its own flare and both Lady Gaga and Beyonce chose to take it on in slightly different ways. Lady Gaga chose a black bodysuit under the sheer dress while Beyonce paired it with even more red for a vibrant look. Lady Gaga pulled her hair back into a more severe look with her small sunglasses and hoop earrings. Plus some chunky boots and stockings. On the other hand, Beyonce chose her signature curls hanging down her shoulders with sunglasses and some strappy silver heels.

The little black dress is a staple in just about any closet and there’s a reason for that. But Miley and Taraji took that a step further with this dress. The sleek black looks stylish while the cutouts definitely create a little more enticing look to go along with it. Miley paired this floor-length gown with a slicked back, short hairstyle. On the other hand, Taraji chose to keep her long, dark hair down around her shoulders, highlighting the dress and those curls at the same time.

These two definitely have something in common with the auburn hair and the same taste in fashion. While Drew chose to keep the dress plain, the Duchess chose to pair it with some cute earrings and a shawl to stay a little warmer. There’s no end to the bright colors with this one, which means it attracts just the right amount of attention, and the slit down the front has a sort of peek-a-boo look that’s still plenty conservative for an audience with the Queen (or anyone else).

There are few celebrities that can stand up to the style icon J-Lo, but at the Superbowl in 2020, Shakira sure tried her best. Though not exactly the same outfit, there were enough similarities to compare the two. J-Lo rocked a silver Versace fringe jumpsuit while the Colombian hip shaker, Shakira, opted for a gold option. They both kind of worked it, so why don’t we call this a draw, shall we?

It is hard to compete with stunning beauty like the Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o, but the Duchess of Sussex thought she would try. At a music festival in March 2020, Meghan Markle donned a beautiful red caped dress designed by Safiyaa. This dress was very similar to the one that Lupita had worn in 2014. Though Ralph Lauren designed Lupita’s version, the lines and shape were similar enough to stir some comparisons.

The Tony Awards are a good occasion to get out the fancy duds and show off what is new in your wardrobe. When it comes to fancy duds, there is nothing like an elegant black dress. Which is exactly what model/actress Emily Ratajkowski thought when she rocked this number. The dress, though, had been snapped on the runways of 2019’s spring and simmer lines. Who rocked it? Gigi Hadid. And she did a pretty good job – not to say Emily didn’t hold her own.

One may not think of cat print as an actual cat picture. Some would even question if this print is even stylish, but when paired with the right person, even a dress with cats all over it can be quite chic. This is what happened with this midi dress that both Molly Sims and Beth Stern chose to wear out and about. Both chose to accessorize it differently, and this made them both fashion winners.

Sisters often share closets, but it seems like there is a rotation going on in the Kardashian/Jenner girls’ homes. They have found themselves on this list several times already. This time, it is a faceoff between Kim and Kylie. Both were seen in public wearing a very cute halter top from Charlotte Knowles. Kim strutted her stuff on Instagram, showing off her look with this top. Then later that evening, Kylie hit the streets to have a fun evening in the same top.
