Occasionally the universe comes up with some pretty epic coincidences -- like when a movie star and an British royal wear the exact same dress on the exact same night at totally different events thousands of miles apart.

On Thursday, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, slipped into a shimmering Tory Burch dress -- valued at over $1,500 -- for a formal dinner with her husband, Prince William, and the King and Queen of Bhutan, during her week-long royal tour of India and Bhutan.

While walking the red carpet at the ASPCA fundraiser, Barrymore stopped to talk with ET about how her pet rescue dogs have helped her enjoy life during this difficult period following her split from her husband, Will Kopelman.

"Life is better with dogs," Barrymore shared, smiling. "Life is definitely better with rescue dogs."
