A fashion event in New York embarrassed actress Alicia Silverstone and singer Avril Lavigne. The two celebrities were invited to the Christian Siriano show during New York Fashion Week last Friday, September 8, when the altercation took place.
The star of “Preppy Girls of Beverly Hills” (1995) was mistaken for an employee of the Canadian artist. According to the website Page Six, another guest at the event saw the actress sitting next to Lavigne and asked her if she worked for Lavigne.
Witnesses to the incident told Page Six that Silverstone initially didn’t understand the question. Understanding the confusion, she reacted by laughing. The other guest, embarrassed, apologizes: “My God. I am really sorry”.
“Alicia took it with no problem. He just laughed,” the witness told Page Six.
