Rachel Leviss attends Stagecoach festival in SAME top Ariana Madix wore on ... trends now
Rachel Leviss attended the Stagecoach festival in the same top Ariana Madix wore on Vanderpump Rules during their love triangle.
Ariana dumped her boyfriend of nine years Tom Sandoval last March after she discovered he had conducted an affair with Rachel, then known as Raquel.
As 'Scandoval' exploded, Rachel was subjected to a deluge of backlash so fierce that she quit Vanderpump Rules and retreated to a mental health facility for two months.
She returned to the public eye that summer, and this February she sued Tom and Ariana for 'revenge porn, eavesdropping and invasion of privacy.'
Now, this Friday, Rachel was seen in the Coachella Valley for the Stagecoach country music festival, where her ex DJ James Kennedy was performing.
She was wearing a cowgirl chic burnt-orange crop top that Ariana previously wore on season 10 episode 14 of Vanderpump Rules - during Rachel and Tom's affair.

Rachel posted multiple Insta Stories this Friday of herself wearing the top while spending time with her friends near the country music festival.
Her updates included a lengthy selfie video that allowed her more than half a million followers to get a close look at the garment.
Social media commentators were quick to notice that the blouse was identical to one Ariana wore on the 14th episode of season 10 of Vanderpump Rules.
At that point, Ariana had yet to discover that Tom was cheating on her with Rachel, who had been a personal friend of hers as well as a co-star.
When the 'Scandoval' story became a national controversy, Ariana received an outpouring of public support and Rachel withdrew from the public eye as a pariah.
However she resurfaced in August to give a wide-ranging tell-all interview about the scandal on Bethenny Frankel's podcast.
'I feel like I’ve been portrayed as the ultimate villain,' Rachel told Bethenny on Just B. 'My mistakes that I’ve made on camera live on forever.'
During that interview, she claimed that Tom had recorded an intimate FaceTime conversation with her without informing her first.
