Stars have access to fashion the average woman can only dream about.

But, despite having every designer clamoring to dress them, it seems January Jones and Beyonce are fans of clothing chain chic too.

January stepped out the red carpet in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday night looking stunning in a very familiar striped dress.

The black and white satin A-line frock was the same dress that graced the famous curves of Queen B just two weeks ago.

Clearly a fashion favourite already, the striking dress was not by any big designer but instead by high street chain Topshop and cost just $140 (or £70 in UK branches).

However, fans looking to replicate the two stars' style may already be out of luck, as the dress is currently sold out online.

While the same dress, the famous pair did wear it slightly.

For Thursday's second annual Rebels with a Cause gala, the 36-year-old Mad Men star wore her Topshop creation as if it was just off the rack, with the dress' sleeves worn loose and just above her elbow, and the skirt's hemline skimming below her mid-thigh.

Heading out for a late night celebration with Jay Z at the members only Arts Club in London, the signer's dress had a noticeably shorter hemline and its sleeves had also been altered to be shorter and tighter fitting cap sleeves.

While the dress may have not made much of an impact on the stars' wallets, it did help January to stand out as she walked the red carpet at the charity event.

The mother of one - two-year-old Xander- accessorised the look with simple black dual strapped heels and a metallic silver clutch.

Skipping jewellery besides black lightening shaped earrings, the star added a pop of colour to the look by wearing bright red lipstick and nails.

The Pitch Perfect star's gown featured a number of different elements - including a ribbed fabric, high neck and a circle skirt - but still managed to look simple and subtle.

Allowing a hint of colour to sneak in, the patent heel-wearing 28-year-old added a emerald clutch and matching earrings.

That TopShop dress looks cuter with longer sleeves and longer length. Bouncey's version looks like it's 3 sizes too small.

The two photos are not in scale...........January Jones is about 6 inches taller and 40 pounds lighter than Beyonce Knowles. If the photos were in scale to each other ....Knowles would look absurd.

The dress must has been altered on Beyonce. I brought this dress in two different sizes. The sleeves and dress ar much longer. It is very tough material. Its baggy around the shoulders and waist line. I doubt anyone could wear it without it being altered in some way no matter what size you brought it in. Shame as it is a lovely dress
