CHRISTINA APPLEGATE - APPLEGATE'S 'HORRIBLY EMBARRASSING' DRESS CLASH

CHRISTINA APPLEGATE was left devastated at a recent celebrity dinner, when she arrived wearing the same dress as fellow actress RACHEL GRIFFITHS. ANCHORMAN star Applegate claims the event was her "worst nightmare" as both she and SIX FEET UNDER star Griffiths realised they were dressed the same. Speaking on US TV show THE ELLEN DeGENERES SHOW yesterday (02OCT06), Applegate said, "I recently went to this very important evening of women in Hollywood. I showed up and someone else was wearing the same dress as me. Which is your worst nightmare. "It was a beautiful dress and it looked just as good on Rachel Griffiths as it did on me. "Rachel came over, and we're laughing about it. We're laughing and inside we're sobbing. Just a horribly embarrassing thing, because we're sitting five feet away from each other during the dinner. "And then she got up onstage to present. It was so embarrassing."
