Imagine this: you're sitting in your favorite talk show, and suddenly, the host and a guest rock the exact same outfit. That’s exactly what happened on Live with Kelly and Mark. Viewers were left in stitches when Kelly Ripa showed up in the same dress as celebrity guest Becki Newton. The episode aired on Wednesday, August 9, and it was a moment that no one could have predicted. Talk about fashion twins!
When Fashion Meets Funny: Kelly’s Look
Kelly Ripa, the ever-stylish host, was dressed to impress at 52 years young. She paired her long-sleeve ruffle maxidress from Veronica Beard with a bright pink hue, adding a pop of color to the show. But wait, there’s more! She accessorized with yellow Gianvito Rossi heels and some stunning gold necklaces. Talk about making a statement! Her husband and cohost, Mark Consuelos, sat by her side, ready for whatever the show threw their way.
The Double Take: Enter Becki Newton
As Becki Newton, also 45, made her grand entrance, the laughter was palpable. She strolled onto the stage wearing the same magenta dress as Kelly. Mark and Kelly couldn’t help but burst into laughter once they realized the hilarious coincidence. It was like a scene straight out of a sitcom.

Kelly, ever the quick-witted host, joked, “Becki Newton, this is just mean. You don’t just show up in the same outfit as the host!” The two posed side by side, looking like they could be sisters. Becki, with her trademark charm, replied with a grin, “Now, everyone says we look alike, but I just don’t see it.”
A Blast from the Past: Their Previous Encounter
Interestingly, this wasn’t the first time fans noticed the resemblance between Kelly and Becki. Back in February 2018, during a previous appearance on the show, viewers pointed out their striking similarity. At the time, Kelly was hosting alongside Ryan Seacrest. Becki shared a heartwarming story about taking her young children to see their dad, Chris Diamantopoulos, perform in Waitress on Broadway.
She recounted the experience with warmth, “I just felt like their first show should be the show Dad’s in. We went, and everything was going totally fine. They were enjoying the singing. They were enjoying seeing Dad on stage.”
But then came the unexpected twist. During the second act, a serious moment unfolded on stage. Becki recalled, “You could hear a pin drop in the audience. My 3-year-old looked up, raised her hand, and said, ‘Hi Daddy, it’s me, Daphne!’” It was a moment that had the audience in stitches.
Parenting Tales: Kelly and Mark Share Their Mishaps
Kelly, who shares children Michael, Lola, and Joaquin with Mark, was amused by Becki’s story. The couple has shared plenty of parenting mishaps of their own on TV over the years. Recently, they opened up about how their daughter Lola, now 22, often forgets to knock before entering their bedroom since moving back home from college.
Mark joked on the show, “And you know what she does now? The door’s closed in our bedroom, no knock, she just walks in and says, ‘Hey girls!’” Kelly chimed in, “I said to her, ‘Lola — I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, I’m very excited that you are home. We missed you. You are the heart of this family. You’re so funny and fantastic. But you got to knock.’”
