Amanda Seyfried borrows Julia Roberts' Versace look at Venice

Amanda Seyfried borrowed the exact Versace outfit Julia Roberts wore days earlier at the Venice International Film Festival, after spotting the look on Instagram and asking her stylist for permission. The exchange took place ahead of photocalls for the actresses’ respective films at the 82nd Venice Film Festival, with Roberts wearing the ensemble on August 29 and Seyfried appearing in the same pieces on September 1.

Both women were styled in a pared back Versace look credited to the house’s new artistic direction: a navy blazer layered over a yellow and cream striped buttondown, high-waisted dark denim jeans and a black belt. Roberts completed the outfit with closed-toe brown pumps and tousled waves; Seyfried’s version featured strappy black sandals and a looser hair tuck behind the blazer. The similarity was intentional rather than accidental. Seyfried commented under a photo posted by their shared stylist asking, "Please let me wear the same outfit," and the stylist later confirmed the handover on Instagram, thanking Roberts "for your generosity and sustainability" and adding "Sharing is caring." Roberts replied to the post with a single word, "Amanda."
