Carmen Vs. Brooke: Same Dress at the Same Event!
 Image by wenn.com
Oh oh! Carmen Electra and Brooke Burke showed up to the same event wearing the same dress.

Both ladies attended the launch party for UK Style by French Connection at Sears event held at the new Lexington Social House in Los Angeles wearing same dress.

I’m thinking French Connection at Sears sent them the dresses and they wore it not knowing others received the same dress. Or they planned to wear the same dress, which would be kind of weird.

I was at the event and saw both ladies and I have to say Brooke looked fabulous! She is so fit that the dress looked like it was painted on.

I gave you my opinion, now you tell me! Who do you guys think rocked the frock? Brooke or Carmen?
