Lookalikes 43

Giorgio Armani Perfume Ad

Guilty Pleasures by Tasmina Perry

Like Eli told me, who suggested this one, it's hard to tell if this is the same photo shoot/model. The pose is so similar and the straps on the dress are too, the model's face and the pattern/bottom of the dress and the background are different though. It could be a photoshop job? Or maybe it's just a coincidence! I definitely see the book cover as softer and sleeker and after all that back and forth I think it might just be a coincidence. I guess I have to pick the book cover as my favorite, much better contrast and I like the sleekness.

Which is your favorite?

Thanks to Eli of nineseveneight Book Reviews for pointing out this lookalike!

  3. I don't think the models look alike at all. The dresses are identical, and could be the same dress, just different patterns.

  4. Laura- I noticed this morning (and sort of rewrote this post) that the dress cut is different on the back, but the straps are totally the same!

  8. Interesting. They look so much alike. I'll go for the book, the girl in the ad seems a lil bit scary to me.

  9. The models and their dresses are totally different. I see the similarities though (= Interesting to see the same poses though. If I had to pick, it would be the book but I'm not really feeling either.

  10. The models don't look alike at all, but the poses and dresses are so similar, as is the lighting...I like the book better!

  11. I prefer the second one :)

    But Armani would definitely have their own photoshoot for their fragrance and I don't see them sharing it for a random book cover!

  12. The Armani dress is way lower cut in the back.

  14. Ooh the dresses and the poses are similar. Straps are similar too. But I doubt the models are the same. I think the book cover was inspired by the poster? XD

  15. i guess the recycled images go beyond just book covers.

  16. Have you read any of Tasmina Perry's books? They sound good, but I don't know of any one who has read them.

    Anyhoo, going with the book cover on this one!

  17. I like the second one the most.

    A blogger actually left a comment on my post about you liking look-a-like covers and I thought I would let you know about the one I found.

    the armani "model" is katie holmes. though the styling of the two pictures is similar they are def not photos of the same model, nor are they wearing the same dress. it looks to me that the book cover is trying to mimic the armani ad.
