America Ferrera’s Accidental Twinning Moment With Superstore Co-Star Ben Feldman Turned Into a Pastel Style Win

It’s one thing to show up at a party and realize you’re twinning with a friend—but it’s another to arrive on a red carpet and find yourself matching your coworker.

That’s precisely what happened to America Ferrera back in 2016, when she and her Superstore co-star Ben Feldman unintentionally coordinated their looks at NBCUniversal’s Summer TCA Press Tour in Los Angeles.

Years later, their pastel “his-and-hers” moment still stands out—not just for the coincidence, but for how Ferrera turned an unexpected fashion clash into a masterclass in tonal dressing, complete with sleek tailoring and Nicholas Kirkwood’s geometric “Eden” pumps.

While Superstore became one of NBC’s standout workplace comedies, America Ferrera—who led the series as Amy Sosa—stepped away during its sixth season before returning for the emotional finale in 2021.

During her time on Superstore, Ferrera led the ensemble as Amy Sosa before stepping back ahead of the final season, while co-stars Ben Feldman, Lauren Ash, and Nico Santos carried the show through its full 113-episode run.

Ferrera’s Superstore co-star Ben Feldman—who played the ever-earnest Jonah—became known for his easy chemistry with her on-screen. The show even poked fun at his resemblance to actor Scott Baio in a recurring gag that highlighted the sitcom’s playful tone.
