In her most recent appearance on _Saturday Night Live_, that similarity went right down to her clothing choice, as the comedian wore a beaded bolero jacket that looked exactly like the one Palin wore to [endorse Donald Trump](http://time.com/4185689/donald-trump-sarah-palin-endorse-2016-election/ "undefined") just four days earlier. The most impressive part? The Milly jacket was [sold out](http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2016/01/25/sarah-palin-sweater-tina-fey-saturday-night-live/ "undefined"), so _SNL_‘s costume designers had to gin up a duplicate on a tight time frame. > [](https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/691133574867722240) As some have spotted, the real spangly shrug seems to [retail for $695](https://www.shopbop.com/beaded-bolero-jacket-milly/vp/v=1/1513496105.htm "undefined"); no word on whether _SNL_ could produce its carbon copy for less.
