Awkward! Transparent's Amy Landecker and Black-ish's Jenifer Lewis wear same bizarre zebra print pantsuit to SAG Awards
Well at least two people thought it was a good idea.
Amy Landecker, 47, and Jenifer Lewis, 60, both sported the exact same zebra print St. John pantsuit to the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday night in Los Angeles.
The duo, in their brave sartorial choice, proved they have more in common than just starring in hit TV shows; Landecker is a staple in Transparent and Lewis is part of the cast of Black-ish.

The actresses, upon realizing the coincidence, posed up for a shot with each other.
The duo told reporters: 'We love it. We love dressing alike.'
The Screen Actors Guild created its own awards ceremony in 1995.
The gong handed out to winners is a statuette of a nude male figure brandishing both a mask of comedy and a mask of tragedy; it is called 'The Actor'.

It is one of the only award shows where actors are honoured by their peers; the ceremony recognizes achievements in acting alone.
The first honours given out in SAG's inaugural ceremony included industry staples Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump) and Jodie Foster (Nell), for lead roles in films.
However it wasn't until 1996 that the show began handing out an award for best ensemble, a category that is now seen as one of the most accurate predictors for the best picture award at the Oscars.

The first ensemble to win the prize was Apollo 13, another film featuring Tom Hanks; however, this year the awards favorite was snubbed despite a critically acclaimed turn in Clint Eastwood's Sully.
Only one film since 1996 has gone on to win best picture at the Academy Awards without first being nominated in SAG's best ensemble category.
Only Mel Gibson's Braveheart managed it 20 years ago.
However, this is simply being nominated in the category. The statistics for those ensembles that win at the SAG awards is a bit different.
The Screen Actors Guild has handed out the ensemble award 21 times (SAG only began giving out ensemble awards in 1996), but of the films that were awarded the honour only 11 went on to land best picture at the Oscars (52%).
Still, actors, the largest group in the Academy of Motion Pictures, hold considerable sway. (SAG, though, is much larger, with about 160,000 members, compared to about 1,200 actors in the academy.)
Nominees are selected by separate movie and TV nominating panels, each comprised of more than 2,000 randomly selected SAG members.
Sunday night marks the 23rd annual ceremony for the Screen Actor's Guild.
