Discovering a fellow guest is wearing the same outfit at a party is enough to tip most celebrities over the edge.
But for Josie Gibson and Gemma Collins, they shared a lot more than a similar wardrobe last night.
The reality stars showcased their dramatic weight loss, battling it out for the most streamline figure.
Battle of the slimmers: Josie Gibson and Gemma Collins both showed off their new trim figures at the Jeans for Genes event last night at Kettner's in Soho
Both dressed in skin tight denim, black tops and with their trademark glossy blonde locks, the duo attended fundraising event Jeans For Genes.
Big Brother contestant Josie has been working hard to shift the stubborn pounds since her split from former housemate John James in March.
Last week, it was revealed that the 26-year-old had successfully shrunk from 16st 7lb to 13st 7lbs, but last night she looked even smaller.

In a recent interview, she said: 'I've given up drinking and it's marvellous. Your skin's better, the whites of your eyes look better and you feel better.
'I'm shaped like a Christmas tree and one boob's bigger than the other so I only give myself four out of ten... I really have to work on my bottom half.'
She also confessed she was 'nearly a size 20' but said she only loses weight the healthy way, adding: 'I'd never have lipo - I exercise to tone up.'

TOWIE star Gemma, 30, has achieved a similar transformation having dropped three dress sizes and shed an impressive 3st 9lb in four months.
She told new! magazine about her torturous boot camp experience, saying: 'I was packing my bag after three days.
'It was such a shocker being in such a disciplined regime. I sent my friend to the trainer to tell him I was leaving because I didn't have the guts.'
Gemma also revealed she begged her friend to buy her a takeout, adding: 'I was like, "If you're my best friend you'll get me a plain chow mein."'
But her chum showed some tough love with a 'slap in the face' and refused to get the Chinese, with Gemma 'just getting on with it' from that moment.
