Geri Horner has worn a near-identical outfit to a movie premiere as Brad Pitt’s girlfriend Ines de Ramon.
On Monday night, the world premiere of the film F1 was held at Times Square in New York.
The upcoming blockbuster stars Brad, 61, as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver who was forced to retire decades ago following a horrible crash.
However, he returns to the racetrack after a team owner asks him to come out of retirement to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua ‘Noah’ Pearce (Damson Idris) for the Apex Grand Prix team.
Last night the stars of the movie, which also include Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies and Javier Bardem, walked the red carpet.
But Geri and Ines, 32, faced an awkward moment when they both turned up in white halter neck outfits.
The former Spice Girl, 52, whose husband Christian Horner is the chief executive officer and team principal of Red Bull Racing, wore a jacquard dress which she paired with a pair of white YSL Tribute platform heels.
Meanwhile jewellery designer Ines, who was previously married to Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley and started dating Brad in 2022, also wore an all-white outfit.
Ines hit the carpet in a white halter neck top, which she paired with a pair of sheer pants adorned with feathers.
She paired her outfit with a brown belt and small white Chanel bag.
During her Spice Girls days, Geri became known for her bold, showstopping looks, including the now-famous Union Jack dress.
However, in recent years she’s rarely been seen in anything but all-white outfits.
She previously told The Sun that wearing white all the time simplified her busy life and gives her a ‘fresh start’.
‘Everything becomes really simple. It’s like wearing a school uniform as an adult,’ she said.
‘It matches with everything, and I literally don’t have to think in the mornings. It kind of looks like you’ve made an effort when you haven’t.’
The pair didn’t seem to let the double up affect them too much though, leaving the focus to the movie, which hits cinemas on June 25.
F1 also features all ten Formula One teams and their drivers from the 2023 season.
They include Max Verstappen, Charles Leclerc, Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo.
Director Joseph Kosinski previously revealed that Lewis gave Brad his first driving lesson because, as he put it, ‘if Brad can’t drive, this whole film wasn’t going to work’.
However, Kosinski told press including Metro during a special Q&A for the trailer launch: ‘He’s a very talented, naturally gifted driver, which for Lewis, after that first meeting, gave him a lot of confidence that we might have a shot at pulling this off.’
He added: ‘You have to be fearless, and when you see Brad driving, that’s not acting. He’s really concentrating on keeping that car on the track and out of the wall during all those scenes – so that’s something that you just can’t fake.’
The director also said the film was ‘universal’ and wasn’t just for F1 fans.
‘It’s about friendship, teamwork, sacrifice, redemption. It just happens to be set in this incredibly exciting world of Formula One,’ he continued.
‘You don’t need to know anything going in. We’ll teach you everything you need to enjoy this story.’
F1 is released in cinemas on June 25.
