Dakota Fanning and Amanda Seyfried have long been noted for their striking resemblance, sharing bright blue eyes and similarly delicate features.
However, the two actresses are easy to tell apart in person: Fanning stands around 5′4″ (162.6 cm)—sometimes listed closer to 5′5″ (165.1 cm)—while Seyfried is noticeably more petite at 5 feet 2½ inches (approximately 158.8 cm), giving them subtly different proportions on the red carpet.
