Seeing double? So did pretty much everyone else at the All's Fair premiere.

Glenn Close made one of the buzziest entrances of the night when she arrived at the New York City premiere of Season 2 of Hulu's All's Fair with drag artist and prosthetics star Alexis Stone, dressed as Close's twin.

The stars walked the carpet on Monday, Nov. 2, according to Deadline, ahead of the new season's debut on Hulu on Wednesday, Nov. 4.

The All's Fair cast reunites

Close wasn't the only star turning heads. The premiere brought together the leading ladies of Ryan Murphy's legal drama, including Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts and Teyana Taylor.

The cast posed together for group photos, and a crowd of famous guests turned out too. Margo Martindale, Denise Richards, Dorinda Medley, Nyle DiMarco, and Joe and Melissa Gorga were among those spotted, according to Deadline.

All's Fair follows a team of high-powered female divorce attorneys who break away from a male-dominated firm to start their own practice in Los Angeles. Here's a closer look at what the stars wore.

Then came the moment everyone was talking about.

Close, 79, who plays veteran lawyer Dina Standish, arrived arm in arm with Stone, and at first glance, it was hard to tell them apart. The two wore matching white blazer dresses with frayed, layered trim along the sleeves and hemlines, according to EntertainmentNow. Both finished the look with black leather gloves and knee-high boots.

Stone completed the transformation with a short blonde wig, mirroring Close's signature bob, along with sparkling drop earrings. According to Just Jared, Close's look was by the label Matières Fécales, and W Magazine reported that the matching suits came from the label's spring 2027 collection.

Who is Alexis Stone?

Stone is a British drag artist and special effects makeup artist known for wearing hyper-realistic prosthetics to transform into famous faces on red carpets and runways. According to CNN, Stone has transformed into at least 250 celebrities.

Past transformations include Jennifer Coolidge, Lana Del Rey, Madonna and Meryl Streep's character from The Devil Wears Prada, Miranda Priestly.

Just days before the All's Fair premiere, Stone turned heads again at Heidi Klum's annual Halloween party in New York City, dressed as Michael Jackson, complete with long hair, dark sunglasses and a black umbrella, according to Asianet Newsable.

Not the first time Stone channeled Glenn Close

This wasn't Stone's first time becoming Close, either.

In 2023, Stone transformed into Cruella de Vil, the iconic villain Close played in Disney's live-action 101 Dalmatians, for a Balenciaga show in Paris. For that look, Stone wore a spotted fur coat, according to BuzzFeed, and has said the team got "the original wig for Cruella."

At the time, Stone thanked Close in an Instagram post, writing that "your blessing to take on this project was beyond a dream come true," according to Just Jared. Stone also thanked Close for her inspiration.

Now, Stone got to stand right next to the real thing.

Kardashian, who plays Allura Grant, stunned in a custom gray sculptural corset gown by Ashi Studio, featuring lace, suede cords and a train, paired with a corset-style leather neckpiece. According to Just Jared, the couture creation took more than 500 hours to make.

The New York event followed a busy press tour for the cast. More than a week earlier, the show held a red carpet premiere in Rome on Saturday, Oct. 24, where Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, wore a scorpion-embellished cloak once worn by Elizabeth Taylor. During that same trip, Kardashian got to try on Taylor's famous Bulgari emerald necklace, a moment she called "the best birthday present ever."

From tough reviews to a Season 2

All's Fair had a bumpy start. The show comes from Ryan Murphy, the producer behind hits like American Horror Story and Glee, and it arrived with plenty of buzz, with splashy premieres in Paris and Los Angeles in October 2025.

But when Season 1 premiered with three episodes on Nov. 4, 2025, critics were not kind, and the season drew harsh reviews, as W Magazine noted.

Close herself admitted the early episodes didn't make the best first impression. "I personally think that the first three episodes were the weakest," she told TVLine last year, calling the three-episode launch "a tough way to start."

She urged viewers to stick with it. "I've seen all nine episodes, and I think it actually adds up to something," Close said.

She also admitted the show took some getting used to. "I was intimidated," Close said of joining the Ryan Murphy production, adding that she "didn't understand the tone for a while."

The first season ran for nine episodes, wrapping up with its finale on Dec. 9, 2025. Despite the reviews, Hulu brought the show back for a second season.

For Season 2, the show's creators chose to embrace camp, according to W Magazine, and the premiere's playful energy matched that spirit. W also suggested that Close meeting her drag doppelgänger could become one of the campiest red carpet moments ever.

Close's legendary career

Close has been a Hollywood heavyweight for more than four decades. She has earned eight Oscar nominations, including for The World According to Garp, The Big Chill, The Natural, Fatal Attraction, Dangerous Liaisons, Albert Nobbs, The Wife and Hillbilly Elegy.

On TV, she won two Emmys for her role as ruthless lawyer Patty Hewes on Damages, which makes her turn as a veteran attorney on All's Fair a fun bit of full-circle casting. She is also a three-time Tony Award winner on Broadway.

And of course, she brought one of Disney's best-known villains to life as Cruella de Vil in 1996's 101 Dalmatians and its 2000 sequel, 102 Dalmatians. That is the very role Stone recreated in Paris three years ago.

When to watch

All's Fair Season 2 premieres on Hulu on Wednesday, Nov. 4, with three episodes, followed by new episodes every Wednesday, according to Laughing Place. Season 1 is already streaming on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ internationally, according to What's on Disney+.
