‘All’s Fair’ Star Glenn Close Meets Her Lookalike Double at Season 2 Premiere
Red carpet events in Manhattan frequently showcase designer couture and glamorous photo ops, but few television premieres offer the surreal theatrics witnessed by fans this week. Ahead of the second season launch for the buzzy legal drama ‘All’s Fair‘, screen legend Glenn Close arrived in New York City ready to celebrate alongside her fellow powerhouse co-stars. While fans gathered outside the Crane Club anticipated plenty of high-fashion statements, an unexpected guest ensured the evening took a delightfully bizarre detour.
Developed by Ryan Murphy, Jon Robin Baitz, and Joe Baken, the star-studded Hulu series ignited an immediate cultural debate when its nine-episode debut dropped in late 2025. Featuring Kim Kardashian as formidable divorce lawyer Allura Grant alongside Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Sarah Paulson, the glossy soap quickly embraced its reputation as a runaway camp spectacle. Despite dividing critics upon its initial bow, soaring streaming numbers propelled the production into an expedited sophomore run.
The true headline of the evening arrived when Close stepped toward the press line and came face-to-face with an exact clone of herself. British drag artist and prosthetic makeup virtuoso Alexis Stone attended the premiere entirely transformed into the eight-time Academy Award nominee, sending photographers and spectators into immediate pandemonium. The viral clip capturing “Glenn meets Glenn” quickly spread across social media, showcasing one of the most uncanny celebrity double-takes in recent memory.
As cameras captured every angle, Close doubled over in genuine laughter upon inspecting her doppelgänger’s eerily precise facial sculpt, bone structure, and coiffed blonde hair. The pair sported matching cream-colored tailored coat dresses featuring structured shoulders, high stand-up collars, belted waists, and layered frayed hemlines. Rather than competing for the spotlight, Close eagerly posed side by side with Stone, turning the routine red carpet walkthrough into an impromptu performance piece.
Stone has cultivated an international reputation for executing hyper-realistic cosmetic transformations, having previously tackled pop culture icons like Cher, Jack Nicholson, and Miranda Priestly from ‘The Devil Wears Prada’. The artist previously made waves by recreating Close’s signature portrayal of Cruella de Vil for a Paris Balenciaga presentation, utilizing an original wig design from the 1996 live-action classic. Stone has long cited the veteran actress as a primary artistic muse, making their joint appearance on the carpet a full-circle tribute.
Close’s portrayal of cutthroat attorney Dina Standish has anchored the legal series since its conception, lending immense gravitas to Murphy’s extravagant courtroom melodrama. When the decorated star was initially attached to the cast, Variety confirmed that the project signaled her major return to serialized legal conflict following her Emmy-winning tenure on ‘Damages’. Beyond her performance in front of the camera, Close also serves as an executive producer, actively guiding the tonally wild narrative.
With promotional duties capped by an unforgettable internet-shaking stunt, fans are now counting down the hours until the show’s return. Season 2 of ‘All’s Fair’ officially premieres on Hulu on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, promising more outrageous depositions, betrayal, and opulent courtroom rivalries. If the playful electricity of the New York premiere is any indication, the upcoming season will lean even deeper into its unapologetic, headline-grabbing absurdity.
