The actress was mistaken for the music superstar while she was watching Serena Williams at the U.S. Open.
Actress Laverne Cox attended the U.S. Open on Monday to cheer on Serena Williams, and her presence garnered attention from fans. However, a lot of talk on social media afterward came as the result of a bit of mistaken identity.
“#Beyonce at the #USOpen,” read a message on Twitter posted by actor/producer Choni Francis that included a brief video of Cox sitting courtside.
Beyoncé, meanwhile, was not spotted anywhere at the tournament’s Queens, New York, location.
Cox took the mix-up in good stride and shared the video on her Instagram account. She also included some tweets poking fun at the original poster’s mistake.
