Alicia Silverstone was reportedly mistaken for a member of Avril Lavigne's entourage at New York Fashion Week. As if!
The Clueless actress, 46, was in the audience for Christian Siriano's show as the fashion designer celebrated the 15th anniversary of his clothing line at the Pierre in New York City. Other attendees included singer Avril, 38, who sat on the front row at the show on Friday alongside Alicia and other celebrities. There's said to have been some confusion though, which Hollywood actress Alicia was the first to laugh off.

A source told the outlet that Alicia - whose other credits include films like Batman & Robin (1997) and Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) appeared "confused" when the guest asked if she worked for the singer-songwriter.

The source however suggested that Alicia took the mix-up over her identity well. They told the outlet following the alleged situation at NYFW last week: "Alicia was a good sport about it." The source added: "She just kind of laughed."
Alicia and Avril weren't the only celebrities seated on the front row at the recent fashion show though. They were joined by a host of other well-known guests at the event in New York City, including singer Janet Jackson, 57.
