Just days apart, two of Hollywood's most beloved women, Amanda Seyfried and Julia Roberts, caused a social media firestorm after stepping out in identical designer outfits at the Venice Film Festival. The fan comparisons have been nothing short of explosive.

Seyfried was spotted wearing Roberts's exact outfit just two days after the Oscar-winner debuted it at the Venice Film Festival. This was a jaw-dropping moment that instantly sent the internet into overdrive.

The "Mamma Mia" actress made her own appearance at the "Testament of Ann Lee" photocall on September 1 in an effortlessly chic head-to-toe Versace ensemble.

The look consisted of a slouchy, oversized black blazer, sunny yellow striped button-down, slightly baggy jeans, a bold black-and-gold statement belt, and strappy black heels.

For glam, the star wore her signature blonde hair in soft waves and kept her complexion fresh by pairing peachy tones on her lips and cheeks. Roberts had stepped out in the very same ensemble for the "After the Hunt" photocall at the Venice International Film Festival on August 29.

She also had the sleeves of the blazer and shirt rolled up to her elbows. Instead of sandals, Roberts chose brown leather heels and completed her look by wearing her red hair in subtle, face-framing waves.

As soon as the fashion face-off surfaced, fans took to social media to weigh in, and the reactions were immediate and intense. One fan couldn't help but ask, "Did the outfit come as a set? So strange it's the same shirt, blazer, belt, jeans, everything." Another person pointed out, "Same outfit, two totally different looks."

Others chimed in with their style preferences, "It looks better on Julia. That pale yellow enhances her hair colour and features whereas on Amanda it gives her a too pale sickly look [sic]." Another person was more direct, penning, "Julia looks better."

But Seyfried had her share of admirers, too. An individual wrote, "I like it better on Amanda. She makes it look more breezy. Her blond hair matches the colors of the shirt more, and I think the black pump on Julia is too heavy with the dark denim and dark jacket [sic]."

Someone else echoed the same sentiment, "I agree, Amanda wore it better." One fan even saw Amanda as a style inspiration, confessing, "I always wanna wear a blazer + button up with jeans, but I always feel like I'm going to a business meeting or something. Amanda makes it look so cool and effortless."

Some saw no need to pick sides. One admirer noted, "I think they both look equally great in different ways. Amanda looks more relaxed and 'bohemian', Julia looks preppy and polished."

There was also excitement about seeing the two twinning, with a fan celebrating the moment, "Wow, an icon rocking the same dress as another icon." Another netizen concurred, "Both look flawless." Of course, not everyone was impressed. One blunt comment read, "Yup...they both look sloppy."

In a delightful twist, it turned out the matching moment between Roberts and Amanda Seyfried wasn't a coincidence at all. It was a playful, fashion-forward tribute between two powerhouse actresses who happen to share the same stylist.

Seyfried revealed on Instagram that the look had been borrowed directly from Roberts herself after stylist Elizabeth Stewart shared a photo of Roberts in the look. Seyfried slid into the comments with a cheeky request, "Please let me wear the same outfit."

With both women under Stewart's sartorial guidance, the Versace ensemble was passed along, proving that sometimes fashion really is about sisterhood, sustainability, and sharing the spotlight.

Once Seyfried donned the outfit for her own photocall, she posted a carousel of photos and gave her due credit, "Thank you @juliaroberts for your generosity and sustainability 😉 Sharing is caring! ❤️ #AmandaSeyfried borrows Julia's @versace photo call look for her own photo call. Thank you #DarioVitale @lamarquisette @renatocampora @genevieveherr @jordan_grossman."
