A woman buys an outfit to wear to some event, and is humiliated when she sees another woman wearing the same thing. Cue death glares and scoffing at each other.
Truth in Television, at least for some women. It doesn't matter if she bought her dress at the snooty boutique or the local Walmart (though if it is from Walmart, then both suffer the humiliation of knowing that another woman knows she got her dress from the bargain bin), wearing the same dress is undeniable proof that she's bought a mass-produced consumer item, breaking any illusion of the dance taking place in a Jane Austen novel where all the dresses have to be hand-made. She might also be self-conscious because the other woman upstages her, having a body type (taller, thinner, curvier, etc.) that better fits it or whose complexion/accessories/hairstyle/makeup better complements it and is generally able to look better in it.
When someone is conscious about their appearance, buying clothes that look and fit juuuuust right can be a long and painstaking process. Seeing someone else in the same outfit is akin to an artist having their style copied. See Mars and Venus Gender Contrast, since two men in the same outfit are far more likely to laugh over it and move on (probably aided by the fact that men's fashion isn't nearly as varied; in most formal events, men will be wearing near-identical suits anyway) Contrast Whole Costume Reference (in that wearing the same outfit is considered a good thing). Contrast also with Coordinated Clothes where characters intentionally wear matching clothes to show that they belong together.
Compare They Stole Our Act.

Buffy:
In the episode "Angel", Cordelia spots a girl wearing a dress identical to her own, and accuses her of wearing a cheap knockoff of her designer original. "This is exactly what happens when you sign these free trade agreements!"
In "Lie to Me" Angel bitches about Vampire Vannabes thinking they know how vamps think, act and dress. Cue one of the said vannabes walking by wearing the exact same outfit as Angel.

The Far Side:
Parodied in a cartoon, where a cowboy wearing a flowery, decorated hat balks at entering a saloon where another cowboy is wearing an identical hat. All the other cowboys, of course, are wearing the usual style of cowboy hat, all alike. Although if you look closely, none of them are identical other than the decorated hats.
One cartoon has two chameleons in the same color at a party.
In a psychic convention, they not only wear the same dress but the exact same hair and makeup. The punchline is that it was completely unforeseen.

Male example: In the beginning of an episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Will shows up in a nice suit. Ashley comments that it "has way too many buttons and the color is very '95". Will boasts that he knows what good fashion is, until Carlton walks into the room, wearing the exact same suit and giving a thumbs up to Will for their shared taste.
In the episode "Twas the Night Before Christening" Hilary, Vy, and Helen all wear the same outfit by accident. When Helen arrives at the house her and Vy go to greet each other but they stop when they see that they are wearing the exact same clothes. Then Hilary comes down the stairs wearing an identical outfit. She stops and then goes back upstairs to change.
Another episode had Will and Carlton going to a much-anticipated school dance with the latter dealing with a comedy of errors from a dog carrying off his shoes for the dance, him getting a big zit (which was also the reason why his date broke it off for the night) and lastly the cleaners shrinking his initial tuxedo. After arriving in a tacky powder-blue 70s tux, three nerdy classmates join him wearing identical outfits, with one remarking how "great minds think alike".

Angel:
Played With when Cordelia complains when she sees a woman at a homeless shelter wearing her one-of-a-kind blouse — unaware that Angel gave away her blouse to the shelter.
In "Couplet" Angel thinks that Groo is taking over his life. Wesley assures him they are two completely different people — only to bump into Groo with Angel's Spiky Hair and Badass Longcoat.

Downplayed in UK Season 1 during the Bond Girl-themed runway. The Vivienne and Sum Ting Wong both wore a hooded ensemble inspired by May Day from A View to a Kill, but the outfits were different enough that they didn't draw instant comparisons with each other, and it was only the two of them and not half the cast, thus preventing what might have been painfully dubbed "Maydaygate."

A variation appears in the Mama's Family episode "There's No Place Like...No Place." When Thelma is mistaken for being a vagrant and arrested, she asks the cop, "Do I look like a homeless person?" Just then, an actual bum is brought in behind Thelma, wearing the same housedress as her. The newcomer comments, "Cute dress. You get yours at the mission too?"

In Ōoku: The Inner Chambers, the Imperial court plans to mock Shogun Iemochi's choice of clothing: if she shows up in Edo-style clothing, they'll make fun of her provincial style, if she dresses up in the Heian-style clothing of the ladies of the court, well, she's just imitating the ladies. The courtiers are flummoxed when she shows up wearing the same outfits they're wearing: she says if she plans on being the emperor's protector, she can't be wearing women's clothing that would get in the way. This ends up impressing Emperor Komei.

In Dumbing of Age Jennifer criticizes the outfit Walky wears for their breakfast with Raidah, saying that her friend group tries harder to look presentable. She's shocked and horrified when her boyfriend Asher shows up wearing the exact same outfit. Walky and Asher are unbothered.
A later comic reveals Asher is wearing a 'butt taco' shirt under his jacket and hoodie, a shirt Walky also owns (though it's unknown if he wore that shirt the same day).

Brooklyn Nine-Nine:
One of the office highlights that happened while Jake had the assignment infiltrating the mafia is that detectives Amy Santiago and Charles Boyle wore the same outfit to work one day. It was a grey pantsuit and a salmon shirt.
In one episode detective Jake Peralta goes undercover wearing a ski mask to try and find out who hired the hitman he's posing as. He's slightly taken aback to find that when he meets the employer, they're both wearing the exact same ski mask.
Another episode has Boyle and Terry wearing the same outfit. Boyle proceeds to do a "who wore it best" between the two. Everyone says Terry and Jake tells Boyle to change. Boyle starts changing right in front of everyone.

The Big Bang Theory:
The geeky friends Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj initially show up all dressed as the Flash for a Halloween party. Sheldon comments "See? This is why I wanted to have a costume meeting."
Judging by their disappointed reactions to Leonard "calling" Frodo, it almost happens a second time. Implied they all had Frodo as their second choice.
One episode features the gang dressed up as superheroes from the Justice League for a New Year's Eve party in a comic book store. Too bad there were several gangs with the same idea, but Leonard and co's costumes are the coolest and they win the competition.

A running gag in Heroine Chic consists of famous fashion designer rivals/ Vitriolic Best Buds Dyna Cuff and Umbra Langoustine wearing identical outfits (plus or minus a few accessories). The matching doesn't appear to be intentional on their part, but it does extend to all their "onscreen" appearances together: even when Dyna ends up in the hospital following an assassination attempt, Umbra comes to visit her in an open-backed hospital gown (with a pair of Louboutins throw on, of course).

The X-Files played with this trope in the episode "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas". Agents Mulder and Scully go ghost-busting to a Haunted House and a couple of ghosts play tricks on them to get Mulder and Scully re-enact their suicide pact. The agents discover two decomposed corpses under the floor who have the same clothes as the agents. They are supposed to represent them which means that the pair of ghosts Invoked it.

Hidden City: Discussed and defied in the "Identical Outfit" collection side-quest. Fabien Delamode had received two identical dress orders from the famous singer Sophia, and another regular customer of his. Knowing that having two influential women appear in the same dress during an important event will cause a scandal, Fabien asks the player's help to find modifications for Sophia's dress to make it look different from the other customer's.

RuPaul's Drag Race:
In the first episode of the Season 3, as all the drag queens make their grand entrances and get to know one another, the room goes silent when India Ferrah walks in and notices that fellow contestant Phoenix has a very similar punk-inspired look. Both queens proceed to stare daggers at each other.
Taken to the extreme in Season 8 during the Madonna-themed runway, when FOUR queens out of eight decided to wear the kimono from "Nothing Really Matters" in what has since been dubbed "Kimonogate" by fans. Even better, three previously-eliminated queens had also planned on wearing a red kimono for that challenge had they gotten that far, as did Chi Chi DeVayne, who realized her mistake and put together an acceptable substitute based on the cone bra from the Blonde Ambition Tour (the only "Classic Madonna" look; the other non-kimono queens went with more obscure choices). So yes, had the eliminations gone differently, we could have very well had eight kimonos on the runway that episode. The psychology behind this is interesting; you could tell that the queens were trying to avoid this trope. With the exception of Chi Chi, no one else did Madonna's iconic outfits such as the wedding dress from "Like a Virgin" or the French ballgown from her MTV performance of "Vogue" because they thought someone else would. Meanwhile, the kimono is one of Madonna's more obscure looks but also one of her most elegant, so the queens who picked it each thought they were being unique, and that backfired so hard.
In Season 10, this fuels the rivalry between contestants Miz Cracker and Aquaria. As they are both thin, white, twinkish queens from New York City with a similar aesthetic, they're often mistaken for each other, and Aquaria has long accused Cracker of copying her style.
Downplayed in UK Season 1 during the Bond Girl-themed runway. The Vivienne and Sum Ting Wong both wore a hooded ensemble inspired by May Day from A View to a Kill, but the outfits were different enough that they didn't draw instant comparisons with each other, and it was only the two of them and not half the cast, thus preventing what might have been painfully dubbed "Maydaygate."
Discussed in UK Season 2 when the queens had to pay tribute to a British queer icon on the runway. The two black queens of the season, Asttina Mandella and Tayce, both planned on dressing as supermodel Naomi Campbell. When they realized this, they admitted there weren't many black queer icons in the UK to choose from, so they both gave each other their blessing to do Naomi. That being said, Tayce later admitted in retrospect that she should have done Shirley Bassey, who is both Welsh and biracial like herself.
In season 13 both Tina Burner and Elliott wind up wearing Taxi inspired looks for the Yellow runway.

Star Trek: Lower Decks: In "Something Borrowed, Something Green", Ensigns Boimler and Rutherford who are in the middle of a fight over watering their bonsai tree show up in the holodeck wearing identical Mark Twain outfits. After arguing about who was supposed to dress as Twain, the two come to find common ground and use that experience to resolve the bonsai dispute. Their efforts, however to use the Twin Twain method to resolve a territorial dispute over observing a nebula between Captain Freeman and Chalnoth Captain Coqqor fail, and results in Freeman forbidding them both from dressing up as Twain again. They however find a workaround, dressing up as identical Amadeus Mozarts while discussing whether to hang an oil painting or a watercolor painting of the Enterprise D in their quarters, instead compromising on an acrylic.
This is later repeated in "Old Friends, New Planets" when Rutherford and his Sitcom Archnemisis Livik are arguing about what to do with an old outdated Orion battle cruiser they've acquired to aid in rescuing Mariner from Nick Locarno Both dress up as Twain and come to a compromise to use it as a battering ram. Later, they resume their hostilities, to Tendi's confusion. Rutherford clarifies they only like each other when they're "Twaining".

In one Elemental Assassin novel, Gin goes to a party at the local museum in a dress her foster brother got for her, only to find that her ex is there on the arm of a girl wearing the same dress. Oddly, it's the men in the story who get worked up over it, as it means that the store had sold two of an allegedly one of a kind designer dress. This inadvertently saves Gin's life - when thieves raid the museum, they make a point of assassinating Gin first so she can't go Die Hard on them, only they accidentally kill the other girl, who bore a superficial resemblance to Gin and was wearing an identical dress.

Often happens to Veronica in Archie Comics.
In one story, Betty and Veronica appear at a party in the same dress, and they both act as if it must be a dream, because the thought of them wearing identical dresses is so outrageous, so terrible, that they refuse to believe it can be true. When they finally realize that it isn't a dream, not only do they destroy each other's dresses, but they wreck the entire place. Can you say Serious Business?
In another story, Veronica asks Betty to make her a one-of-a-kind swimsuit, even asking if she's made any other girl a swimsuit out of a particular bolt of fabric. Turns out Betty used that fabric to make swimsuits for a bunch of guys.
In another swimsuit story, Betty and Veronica agree to meet up with Archie at the beach, and they tell each other they'll be wearing one of their old bathing suits. Actually, they both plan on buying a new bikini to get Archie's attention. Naturally, they end up buying the exact same bikini, but discovers this just in time, and begrudgingly change into some more modest-looking spare bathing suits.
In yet another story, Veronica is so mortified when she sees Midge wearing the same "original" designer dress as hers that she asks Chuck to make her an "original original" dress, only for other girls to see Chuck's signature on her dress and ask him to make similar dresses for them.

A Saturday Night Live sketch involved a group of geeks attending a screening of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith in full cosplay. Two of them, both dressed as Anakin Skywalker, spend the whole skit glaring daggers at each other. It turns out they did try to coordinate beforehand to prevent this from happening, but one of them said he'd be going as "Darth Vader" and failed to specify that he meant Darth Vader from the brief period before he started wearing the iconic mask and armor.

In an episode of Home Improvement (S 7 E 14, “Tim ‘The Landlord’ Taylor�), Brad comes home from the mall wearing a new (and very loud) shirt that he’s very proud of. When he leaves the scene after showing the shirt to Jill, Randy immediately walks in wearing the same shirt. When they see each other wearing identical shirts, they get in an argument and spend the rest of the episode bickering with each other over who gets to wear the shirt when so that they are not both wearing it to school on the same day. While Brad is wearing the shirt at the end of the episode, Al comes by the house to talk to Tim...and takes off his winter jacket to reveal that he is also wearing the same shirt.

A male variant: in Dodger; when Dodger gets invited to a posh dinner party, Solomon insists he spends some of his reward money at a top Saville Row tailor. Since the reward isn't that much, they get a relatively cheap suit, which Solomon's friend Izzy explains was a bespoke suit for a top client, but the tailor got the measurements wrong. Naturally, said client is at the dinner, wearing the correctly measured version of the same suit, and turns out to be Sir Robert Peel. Dodger is embarrassed about this, partly because it draws attention to the fact he got the suit cheap, and partly because it's never a good idea to attract a Peeler's attention, and Sir Robert is King of the Peelers.

In the second All Star edition of The Amazing Race (Unfinished Business), this was deliberately invoked as a joke by Zev & Justin, when they showed up to the starting line wearing the same Globetrotter gear worn by Harlem Globetrotters Flight Time & Big Easy when they originally raced together on a previous season.

The Golden Girls:
Dorothy and Blanche buy the same dress for an occasion. Each takes her dress back without telling the other, trying to be the nice one. After a brief scare that they've bought the same dress again, they reveal two totally different dresses, only to have Sophia emerge wearing the same dress as Blanche.
When Rose and Sophia are competing against Dorothy and Blanche in a bowling tournament, Rose and Sophia invoke this trope by buying the same bowling shirt as Blanche, in order to throw her off her game.

The prom episode of Beverly Hills, 90210 has Andrea ashamed about what her friends would think about her "poor" prom dress (due to its simplicity). Her fears were unfounded as the gang liked her dress (as well Brenda and Kelly being more concerned with their own matching dresses and fighting over Dylan and Donna being too uncomfortable in her Gone With the Wind esque dress).

In My Fair Lady at Ascot, there are two women with the same outfit (including hats). Cue frosty looks and consequent ignoring of each other.

In the New 52, Catwoman once worked for the mayor. One of her duties: at any formal event, she was to pick out any guests wearing the same outfit as the mayor's wife. To avoid this faux pas, said guest would then be brought to a special closet filled with expensive clothes, and was allowed to pick out anything that she wanted as a replacement outfit.

The Hey Arnold! episode "Miss Perfect" has Rhonda wanting to impress the sixth grade girls with her new outfit. But Lila shows up wearing the exact same outfit that the sixth grade girls are instantly impressed by since they think Lila pulls it off better than Rhonda.
A small gag in the Halloween Episode shows Ernie and Mr. Hyunh arguing during a Halloween party because both are dressed as Frankenstein's monster.note Not Frankenstein, as both of them say; he was the scientist.

Cute variant in Girls with Slingshots, where Thea worries that her top is too old-fashioned; cue her girlfriend's mother in the same outfit.
At one point early on, Jamie and Darren show up to a party wearing identical underwear.

In the second season of House of Anubis, the students threw a Masquerade Ball to celebrate the opening of a special Egypt exhibition on their school-grounds. Jerome had to sell dresses to help pay off a debt, and sold ones to Joy and Nina...but never told them that they'd be getting the same dresses, causing them to show up at the dance and discover on their own. This lead to Nina and Joy chasing him around to get a refund, them both competing over who looks best, and Joy taking advantage of the opportunity by stealing Nina's mask and tricking Fabian into kissing her. Additionally, he also sold Ms. Andrews the same dress too, as an extra little gag before things got serious.

There's an I Love Lucy episode about this happening to Lucy and Ethel. After ignoring Fred and Ricky's (actually pretty logical) argument that, since they're performing in a talent show, dressing the same as a kind of sister act would be cute, decide that neither would wear the dress and they both promise to take the dress back. Of course they don't, and it climaxes with them tearing decorations off each other's (highly) overdone dresses◊, while singing a song called "Friendship."

Frasier in one episode Frasier and Niles meet for coffee and realise to their horror that they're wearing the same suit. Frasier blames the personal shopper he'd introduced Niles to for not keeping track of what they were buying. Niles claims he bought the suit on his own, without the shopper, because it went with his shoes. Cue the brothers looking down and realising that they're also wearing the same shoes.

Friends:
Rachel and Phoebe take Ross shopping for new clothes to wear on his date. Later Rachel tells him that she'll just buy something nice but their bags get mixed up. Not only does Ross wear a pink flowery shirt on his date, but his date is wearing it as well. They are both very uncomfortable and leave abruptly.
Ross and Rachel's ex-boyfriend Tag own the very same red sweater and they meet on a street wearing it. Being men, they are not embarrassed and cheerfully compliment each other. The real purpose was to throw the other friends off about who the father of Rachel's baby was.
In another episode Joey makes fun of the shirt Ross is wearing, only for Ross to point out that Joey's wearing the exact same shirt.

A Season 1 episode of Sabrina the Teenage Witch opens with Sabrina walking down the hallway at school, only to discover she's wearing exactly the same outfit as Libby. She hurries to the bathroom and zaps on a different outfit, only to run into Jenny who is, you guessed it, wearing exactly the same thing. Jenny however takes it all in good fun.

A similar gag was used during a Saved by the Bell: The New Class episode with Katie fearing her "plain" dress, only to be complimented by Maria, whose own dress was ridiculously restricting and Rachel, who wore a dress at least three other girls wore.

Accidental in 1988 Big Business (1988). Separated at Birth/Switched at Birth twins* The film starts with a wife of a billionaire and a wife of a factory worker each giving birth to twin girls in the same backwoods hospital and nurses putting two newborns to wrong cribs. (played by Bette Midler) behave the same way and end up buying identical dresses and wearing them for the climactic shareholders meeting. Their paths cross in a restroom shortly before the meeting, resulting in this Mirror Routine. Their sisters, another pair of separated/misplaced twins (played by Lily Tomlin) also dress similarly to each other.
