Not so vintage Chanel

Actress Reese Witherspoon may not have been the only victim of Chanel dress deja vu at the Gold Globe Awards last week. The Los Angeles Times Friday quoted "unconfirmed reports" that Natalie Portman's "vintage" black lace Chanel dress may have been worn by Debra Messing at the 12th Annual Glamour Magazine Women of the Year Awards in 2001.

A couture scandal erupted Monday night when the fashion police recognized Witherspoon's "vintage" Chanel dress as the same one worn by Kirsten Dunst to Globe parties in 2003. If it is determined the same fashion faux pas was committed twice Monday, the Times predicts "heads will roll soon at Chanel's corporate headquarters."
