Awkward: Elizabeth Olsen And Carey Mulligan Are Matching For Prabal Gurung Launch

Get updates from Ellen Stewart:

That awkward moment when you arrive at a fancy designer launch and someone else is wearing a near-enough IDENTICAL outfit. Uh oh.

So, bad news for Elizabeth Olsen and Carey Mulligan who rolled up to the Prabal Gurung launch at New York Fashion Week in super-similar ensembles.

Mary-Kate and Ashley's sis opted for pink and black, while actress Carey went for... pink and black.

Okay - so it's not as if they wore the same dress or anything but still, mega awks if they were stood anywhere near each other.

Whenever a celebrity matchy-matchy situation occurs you can't help but contrast and compare the two. Lizzy was playful in a colour block skater dress, made chic with a slouchy black jacket, while Carey was more classic with her outfit choice. She kept her style sophisticated with a peachy blouse, simple trousers and a leather panelled coat.

Carey wins MyDaily's best dressed vote, but who do you think came out on top? Have your say in the poll below...

Dear Roger 47 I asked a question about who were these 2 people, as I have no idea about who they are, I really did not expect an answer from a 21 century Piltdown man, ignorant little toerag

Have they put up the wrong photos? Those two outfits above are very different, yet another made up story.
