Amber Heard Dr Evil memes trend after actress's latest outfit goes viral

As the legal battle between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp continues to unfold, netizens are mocking the former for her fashion choices. Earlier during the defamation trial, the actress was accused of copying her ex-husband’s outfits. Now, netizens have found an uncanny resemblance between her latest outfit to Austin Powers’ Dr. Evil.

The Depp-Heard legal case has resumed after its temporary pause. It has now taken its fifth week with the Aquaman star returning to the stand.

The 36-year-old sported a dark gray, high-neck button-up outfit. Twitter users have since compared her fashion choices to Mike Myers’ Dr. Evil.

If one is unfamiliar with Dr. Evil, the character is best known for his signature high-neck light gray jacket.

Amber Heard has been seen in court wearing strong and masculine outfits on most days. This included a light gray double-breasted suit, worn just a day after Depp wore the same ensemble.

Another fashion moment that sparked netizens’ interest was how she wore her hair in a voluminous ponytail just a day after Depp tied his hair back.

In recent days, the actress has opted for feminine silhouettes, including delicate blouses and her blonde locks coiled into hairstyles reminiscent of Hollywood glamor.

Netizens assumed that the actress decided to copy her ex-husband’s outfits to play “mind games.” However, clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Shannon Curry, who took the stand, stated that Heard had borderline personality disorder, which could have caused her to:
