ICYMI, Olivia Wilde and Margaret Zhang both showed up wearing the same style of Met Gala dress to last night's star-studded event. And it appears as though they're having a v fun time with it! Earlier today, the Vogue China editor reposted and commented on Olivia's Instagram Story, which featured a side-by-side pic of herself, the Don't Worry Darling director, and the original 1983 design Karl Lagerfeld crafted while he helmed at Chloé that inspired both looks.

Ahem, witness:

“Great minds,” Olivia wrote on her post. “If you're gonna twin with anyone, make it @margaretzhang.” Margaret's response? “CUE THE STRINGS.”

And JFYI in case ya wanted a little bit more backstory on Olivia's 'fit—with design details courtesy of Vogue—, turns out it was actually designed by Chloé’s current designer, Gabriela Hearst, who said, “What I loved about the original design was the musical inspiration of it, and the surrealistic touch on it.”

“There was something quite timeless that we could bring back to the Met Gala in 2023. We made it a gala dress instead of a cocktail dress, and I think it worked beautifully,” she continued, explaining why she made the choice to alter the original cocktail dress's length.

Despite both celebs taking a cue from Karl's 1983 design, they each made it their own and looked beyond *chef's kiss* walking the steps of the museum.

Olivia, for her part, wore a white-and-gold version and accessorized it with stunning coordinated cuffs, an understated makeup look, and a simple blowout.

And Margaret took a slightly edgier approach to styling her gown, which was black with beautiful gold embroidery. The editor's version featured a longer skirt and a cool cape. As for glam? She went a bit more bold with cobalt-blue hair and a pair of black sunglasses reminiscent of those that Karl himself was often spotted wearing.

P.S. According to the Evening Standard, this is the first time multiple people have worn the same dress to the Met Gala, so the more ya know! That said, it's unclear whether Anna Wintour was aware the stars were both planning on sporting similar versions. While E! News reported back in September 2021 that the Vogue editor-in-chief ultimately has the final say over every guest's outfit, I guess we'll never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
