A paralegal at Bond Dickinson has become an internet sensation after she attended a horse riding event wearing the same yellow puffer jacket as 16 other people.

Ria Hattam, a paralegal at the national outfit’s Plymouth office, was seemingly thrilled to discover her chic jacket was this season’s must-have item of clothing at the prestigious Badminton Horse Trials in South Gloucestershire.

Embracing the strange coincidence, the 24-year-old began posing for photographs of herself stood next to her coat-clad counterparts — all 16 of them!

Hattam — who studied sociology and criminology at the University of Portsmouth, graduating in 2014 — shared the collection of snaps on her personal Facebook page this week and it quickly went viral, racking up over 8,500 likes and 2,700 shares.

So successful was the post, Hattam’s hashtag #followtheyellowcoatgirl even started trending across the social media site. Commenting on her new-found internet fame yesterday evening, she posted:

Holy Christ this is the craziest week ever…. I am literally done!! ???? #followtheyellowcoatgirl
