Bollywood seems to be too fascinated by the three piece suit and the monochrome print these days. Recently 'Hero' actress Athiya Shetty was sported wearing an AM:PM creation and after two days actress Lisa Ray was seen in the exactly same outfit by the designers during the promotion of her upcoming film 'Ishq Forever'.
'Ek Villain' actress Shraddha Kapoor copied Deepika Padukone's look – the risqué Gaurav Gupta gown that Deepika had worn to an award show earlier this year. While the ‘Ram-Leela’ girl went for gold, Shraddha sizzled in a black and sheer look as she posed for a recent photo shoot.
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been garnering praise for her golden look at the cannes Film Festival this year. Everyone, including her husband Abhishek Bachchan, is going gaga over her look. But Ash's winner look has apparently been picked out from another actress' wardrobe. Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth wore the same gold strapless Roberto Cavalli gown to this year's Academy Awards. But, copycat or no copycat, Aishwarya looked beautiful!
'Fukrey' actress Richa Chadda took a leaf out of Sameera Reddy's (style) book as she sashayed down the green carpet in a risque Falguni And Shane Peacock outfit at IIFA awards held in Tampa Bay, Florida.

We saw pretty girl Alia Bhatt in a white sweater with a heart print for a screening of her film, '2 States' last week and we immediately liked it but a few days later, 'Total Siyappa' actress Yami Gautam was also snapped wearing the same sweater at the airport on her way to Tampa Bay for IIFA 2014. We believe, Yami's stylist needs to be more up-to-date on fashion, Yami are you listening? Ahead: Other copycats of Bollywood.
Looks like actress Divya Dutta took a little styling lesson from fellow actress Kajol. She wore a grey-toned sari with a bright pink border paired with a sheer blouse for the success bash of 'Main Tera Hero', a look that was similar to what Kajol had sported on the ramp at a Manish Malhotra show.
Recently, Kalki Koechlin was spotted wearing this Yogesh Chaudhary summer dress to a brunch party recently. Few days later designer Nishka Lulla wore the same printed dress to the screening of Yellow.
Deepika Padukone – Katrina Kaif: Both these Bollywood actresses have been spotted wearing the similar dress on two occasions. While Deepika donned the stunning Alice & Olivia white maxi to a film premiere, Kaif Katrina wore it for a commercial. Another instance saw Katrina wearing the sexy gold and black sequined Monisha Jaising mini dress that Deepika wore for a photo shoot.
Both Deepika Padukone and Shilpa Shetty were spotted wearing a blue printed midi Zara skirt with white blouses. However, while Deepika chose to style it more casually with flats, Shilpa went chic in nude coloured heels.
Bollywood fashionistas Sonam Kapoor and Kangana Ranaut tried their luck with the grey Gucci number. Sonam Kapoor, who wore it to a magazine launch got our vote hands down, while Kangana sported it at a promotional event in Dubai.
Deepika Padukone wore a nude and black coloured Atsu sari to a film promotional event, a look that which was also worn by Sonam Kapoor.
'Queen' actress Kangana Ranaut, who has now carved a niche for herself in the fashion circle, often borrows her look form Hollywood's fashionistas. Here, Kangana opted for a sequin blue-green Burberry dress copying actress Emma Stone.
Amrita Puri from ‘Kai Po Che’ rocked this printed Etro dress at a party. The updo made the whole look extremely graceful with the dark lips. Gangs Of Wasseypur actress Richa Chadda later wore the same dress at an award nominations party. However she chose to wear minimal makeup and let down her hair.
Madhuri Dixit also went down the copycat lane when she wore this immaculate white Zara dress to her website launch that was previously worn by Sonakshi Sinha on the sets of a reality dance show.
Singer-actress Sonal Chauhan went sexy in a cutout black Shivan & Narresh gown at an award show that was previously seen on Bollywood-turned-Hollywood actress Frieda Pinto on controversial chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’.
Pretty girl Evelyn Sharma stunned in a nude coloured Sailex maxi dress at a magazine bash. Actress Neha Dhupia who also did justice to the creation was later snapped wearing it to another television channel party.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also seemed to have provided Deepika Padukone with a few ideas. The yum mum wore a gold embroidered Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla churridar suit to the anniversary celebration of the designers. Later that same week, Deepika Padukone was spotted wearing the same creation at an award function.
