Eagle-eyed fans have hilariously roasted ABC after they made an embarrassing blunder in their Oscars red carpet coverage on Sunday.
As one one of the glamorous actresses made her way across the red carpet across the Dolby Theatre, the network declared Rachel Zegler had arrived.
There was, however, a slight issue – the celebrity in question was not in fact Rachel Zegler, star of the new live-action remake of Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs.
In fact, the woman being shown onscreen was comedian Rachel Sennott, known for starring in such movies as Shiva Baby and Bottoms.
Sennott was draped a strapless purple sequined gown, while Zegler flaunted her taut midriff in a sheer off-white corset dress.
Fans reacted with hilarity on social media, joking: ‘Rachel Zegler stuns!!!’ and: ‘I LOVE RACHEL ZEGLER!!!!!’ over images of the other Rachel.

This year’s Oscars are hosted by beloved former late-night host Conan O’Brien, who is compering the ceremony for the first time.
After his hiring was announced, the famously self-effacing comedian joked: ‘I only agreed to host so that I could get invited.’
Emilia Pérez, the Spanish-language musical starring Selena Gomez, Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon, leads the nominations with 13 nods including best picture.
Karla is nominated for best actress for her performance as a cartel chief who pretends to die in order to transition into a woman.
Her Oscars campaign was torpedoed by resurfaced old tweets in which Karla made controversial remarks on such subjects as George Floyd and Islam.
Zoe is also nominated for best supporting actress, with Jacques Audriard also in the running for best director for his work on the picture.
The Brutalist, starring Adrien Brody as a Hungarian Jewish Holocaust survivor working as an architect in postwar America, is just behind Emilia Perez with 10 nods.
Adrien is nominated for best actor, as are Brady Corbet for best director, Guy Pearce for best supporting actor and Felicity Jones for best supporting actress.

Wicked is tied with The Brutalist with 10 nods, including best picture, best actress for Cynthia Erivo and best supporting actress for Ariana Grande.
Anora, Sean Baker’s rollicking Palme d’Or winner from last year’s Cannes Film Festival, is also competing for the best picture honor.
Its leading lady Mikey Madison is up for best actress for her role as a New York stripper, as is Russian actor Yura Borisov for best supporting actor.
Other best picture nominees include the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothee Chalamet, who is in contention for best actor.
The drama Conclave about the election of a new Pope, the sci-fi epic Dune: Part Two and the Brazilian political film I’m Still Here are also up for best picture.
So is last year’s buzzy horror film The Substance, whose leading lady Demi Moore is nominated for best actress for the first time in her long and glamorous career.
Adrien was widely tipped to win best actor, until Timothee won the Screen Actors Guild Award last weekend in a surprise turn that has upset many predictions.
Best actress is a hazier category, with some predicting that Demi will win after the shower of acclaim she received for her comeback performance in The Substance.
Kieran Culkin seems likely to win best supporting actor for A Real Pain, written and directed by his co-star Jesse Eisenberg, given he has swept the awards circuit so far.
Zoe has also landed a number of wins on the awards circuit for best supporting actress, in a category that includes Ariana Grande as Glinda in Wicked and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez in A Complete Unknown.
Anora won best picture at both the Directors Guild Of America Awards and the Producers Guild Of America Awards, both of which are regarded as bellwethers for the Oscars, particularly taken together.
