The Prime Minister and Newshub Europe correspondent Lisette Reymer have been involved in a hilarious exchange after the pair realised they'd turned up to a press conference wearing the same dress.

Jacinda Ardern was about to front a news briefing after a meeting with Spain's President Pedro Sanchez.

As Ardern approached the podium, she broke into laughter as she spotted Reymer in the crowd of media.

"Nice dress," Ardern said. "We just won't talk about it… we need to confer for the rest of the trip," she joked.

Speaking to AM, Reymer quipped that she was wearing the dress first.

"She actually copied me today," Reymer said. "She obviously was feeling inspired, what can I say? I'm a trend-setter.

"I put on blue - I thought that was safe because I thought she might be wearing red, she chose to wear blue and this happened."

Ardern is in Madrid meeting with European leaders ahead of the NATO leaders' summit - the first time New Zealand has been invited to the event.
