Who wore it best? Julia Morris and Angela Bishop’s awkward onscreen moment
Julia Morris and Angela Bishop expertly diffused a potentially-awkward live television moment on Friday after both showing up wearing the exact same dress on Studio 10.
The beloved television personalities laughed the moment off as they attempted to avoid a repeat of the infamous #jacketgate moment of 2017.
Appearing on Studio 10 to discuss her new book, tongue-in-cheek self-help book Julia Morris Makes it Easy, with Beau Ryan and Sarah Harris, Morris appeared on screen in a stunning purple and pink dress, only to be interrupted a few moments later by Bishop in the very same floral outfit.
“Can I just interrupt … Can I get a piece of advice Julia: What happens when you turn up on national television wearing the same frock as someone else?” Bishop asked as the panel erupted in laughter.
“What I wanna know Ange is who wore it breast?” Morris quipped, standing up with her chest to the camera.
“You took the words right out of my mouth,” Ryan joked, before Morris added: “You look gorgeous … I have to get my own modesty board but check this out,” she said as she lifted her leg up to show off sneakers.
Bishop replied by saying she'd paired the dress with classic black Christian Louboutins.
It’s certainly not the first time a live cross has seen two presenters in the same outfit.
In 2017, off-air footage of Channel 9 reporter Julie Snook being berated by newsreader Amber Sherlock for wearing a similar colour top to her during a live cross made headlines across the world, forever to become known as #jacketgate.
