Having a beauty inspiration when preparing for a night out always helps. But then again, that doesn’t mean that the result is always a success. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery so we look at these three local-Hollywood celebrity tandems to see if the imitation did in deed flatter.

Lady Gaga Vs. Jolina Magdangal

Jolina channeled the over the top popstar during the MYX Awards. Yet her foray into the avante garde caught us a bit off-guard. Personally, I’m all for reinventing yourself but somehow this look doesn’t sit too well in my stomach. From the oversized donut sitting atop her head reminiscent of Gaga’s hair-bows to the strange liner circles extending out of the corner of her eyes, perhaps next time Jolina should try to shock us all by wearing something a little more original.

Taylor Momsen Vs. Kim Chiu

Both gifted with porcelain skin, it isn’t surprising that Kim looked to Gossip Girl’s bad girl for some inspiration. Although it would be nice to see Kim trying out a grungier look ala Taylor, she should stay away from the waxy foundation that gives Jenny Humphrey that plastic façade. I’d definitely love to see Kim experimenting more with her hair and make up choices rather than repeatedly going back to her girl-next-door look.

Megan Fox Vs. Ruffa Guttierez

Kudos to Ruffa for daring to go in the footsteps of a Fox but unfortunately perhaps she should have opted for interpreting the look less literally. From the blood red color to the asymmetrical shoulder to the thigh-high slit and the slicked back hair, every element is too spot on. There is a way to adapt some elements of your peg without looking like a carbon copy.

Anyway, the moral of the story, copy with caution! And if you do choose to wear a look previously done, make sure to wear it better and knock it out of the park!
