Is Amber Heard copying Johnny Depp's courthouse wardrobe in an attempt to psyche the actor out?

Did Amber copy Johnny's scarf AND wave?? Shocking!

 As Johnny Depp’s defamation trial against Amber Heard continues, social media fashion police are accusing Depp’s former spouse of employing an unorthodox courtroom strategy: copying her ex’s outfits, and even hairstyles to try and get inside of his head. The Twittersphere is aflame with this alleged sartorial war on wardrobes.

The trial, which is still underway in Virginia, is attempting to determine if a 2018 Washington Post essay written by Heard, in which she accused the actor of domestic abuse, defamed Depp.

Depp, who has vehemently denied the allegations, is seeking at least $50 million in compensation. He is also after $350,000 in punitive damages, as well attorneys’ fees and court costs, according to the Daily Mail.

Maybe this one's a bit of a stretch

Every aspect of the trial has been heavily covered by the media and compulsively analysed by thousands of fans around the world - including what the two warring actors have worn each day.

Some people are convinced that Heard is purposely picking outfits that look similar to ones that Depp has previously worn during the trial, in an attempt to 'play mind games' on him. 

“Amber Heard is playing mind games with Johnny Depp by copying his outfits in court,” one observer alleged on Twitter.

With every aspect of the trial under a microscope, social media sleuths couldn’t help but notice that Heard’s courtroom attire seemed eerily similar to that of the “Sleepy Hollow” actor.

“I’ve been watching the Johnny Depp trial and noticed that Amber Heard is mirroring him through outfits,” wrote one eagle-eyed Twitter juror of the “Aquaman” alum’s “creepy” copycat couture. “When Johnny wore a gray suit…the next day she wore the same thing. Then he wore a Gucci ensemble and then she wore it the next day.”

They were referring to when Depp showed up to the first day of the trial on April 11 in a grey suit and Gucci tie with a bee lapel. The following day, Heard was seen wearing a nearly identically coloured ensemble to the courthouse, and on April 13, she entered court wearing a similar tie and bee bauble.

On April 19, Heard moved away from clothes and onto hair in a supposed attempt to unsettle her ex-lover, mimicking the ponytail hairstyle Depp had worn the day before.

Online fashion sleuths have even uploaded TikTok videos comparing and contrasting the warring pairs outfits in a series of stills.

“Yesterday was the day that Twitter went nuts over Johnny Depp’s pony tail,” said user @delloliod in a TikTok video from two days ago, which boasts more than 10 million views. “She walked into court today with this ponytail on her head.”

The Twitter peanut gallery agreed that Heard’s getups were no coincidence.

“Is anyone gonna address why Amber is mimicking Johnny’s outfits every day,” wrote one disgusted user. “This woman is SICK in the head.”

Another eagle eyed observer wrote: “I know this was days ago now, but can we talk about the fact that Amber Heard intentionally recreated Johnny Depp’s court outfits multiple times… Does that not scream psychological abuse to you? Like the man is literally in court and she’s still mocking him.”

One armchair attorney claimed that Heard was “mirroring all of johnny depp’s outfits in a continued attempt to torment her victim,” adding that they “didn’t think she could be more vile.”

I know this was days ago now, but can we talk about the fact that Amber Heard intentionally recreated Johnny Depp's court outfits multiple times… Does that not scream psychological abuse to you? Like the man is literally in court and she's still mocking him.

Some found Heard’s fashion choices particularly enraging, as the “Justice League” actress had reportedly mocked Depp’s sense of style, as heard in the  court testimony by his sister Christi Dombrowski.

“Johnny told Amber that I had just had a meeting with Dior and they were interested in him,” the sibling had stated, “Her reaction to that was she was in disbelief and sort of disgust because she said, ‘Dior — why would Dior want to do business with you? They are about class and they are about style and you don’t have style.'”

However, according to Dr Curry, the psychologist who interviewed Amber Heard and has studied Amber’s medical records, mental health treatments, footage, audio, and case documents as well as having met with the Aquaman star twice in 2021, Amber could be imitating the way Johnny Depp dresses due to borderline personality disorder.

Taking the stand, the psychologist suggested the star may suffer from borderline personality disorder which could cause her to: "take on the identity of the people they are spending time with because it's comforting."

She explained that: “When somebody with this disorder is going through that initial enmeshment phase they often will take on the identities of those people."

The medical expert went on to claim that those who suffer with such a disorder could "mimic the way they dress, their interests" and "the way they talk."

Dr Curry also told the court and jury that she diagnosed Heard with Histrionic personality disorder, saying: “These are really two sides of the same coin,” and added that the disorders as "dramatic, erratic, and emotional,” and: “unpredictable."

The trial is due to rumble on for several more weeks.
