It’s rare for Olivia Palermo to be dressed exactly the same as someone else, even if they’re both wearing the same piece of clothing.

To prove our point, here she is wearing the same dress that Russian supermodel Natalia Vodianova wore earlier that day.

The dress is from the Dior Resort 2016 collection. It’s a checkered piece featuring an adorable fit, flare structure, and sexy front bodice gap.

The socialite wore the dress with a pair of Jimmy Choo “Gala” suede pointy-toe flats, a colorful scarf around her neck, a clutch, and a gold-tone bangle.

The flats and the scarf are surprising elements of this look. We never would’ve thought they’d go well with the dress, but Olivia sure made them look seamless.

2. Natalia Vodianova at Christian Dior Show

The Russian model had an entirely different look. To start with, the dress was customized to have a bridge over the gap.

She also layered it over a crisp white button-down shirt with lace accents at the bodice and styled it with a red handbag, a pair of blue flats, blue-rimmed sunglasses, and a gold watch.

We love both outfits! Olivia’s has a more sophisticated panache, while Natalia’s has a preppy vibe. What do you think? Which styling did you like more?
