Katherine Heigl's career is soaring, Britney Spears has hit rock bottom - repeatedly - but the pair now have at least one thing in common.

They were spotted wearing matching green jumpers from American label Primped during separate outings in LA yesterday.

The troubled pop star, now a regular on worst dressed lists, showed off the bow-print pullover during an outing in the same look while shopping on Robertson Boulevard.

Seeing double: Katherine Heigl and Britney Spears both wore the same Primp top during separate outings in LA yesterday

Across town, the Grey's Anatomy star, who has reigned over of the red carpet in recent times, sported the same look while out in Beverly Hills.

Inadvertently sharing the same fashion sense as Britney has never been less desirable and the choice will most likely cause a momentary cringe for Heigl, who usually oozes old-fashioned glamour.

Still, there's little the chance her unwitting fashion misstep will dent the Hollywood darling's reputation.

Her star has skyrocketed in the past year and she has secured her spot as a sought after leading lady with turns in Knocked Up and her new release 27 Dresses.

Heigl, who has been dubbed "The Next Julia Roberts," is now set to begin work on the romantic comedy, The Ugly Truth along side actor Gerard Butler.
