Did Amber Heard swap masks with her sister? Johnny Depp's ex-wife dons the same green mask design as sister Whitney wore to court the day before
- 34-year-old actress spotted wearing face covering as she arrived at High Court
- It is not evidently clear if the mask is a copy of that worn by her sister yesterday
- Johnny Depp is suing The Sun for libel after it labelled him as a 'wife beater'
- Hearing will continue on Monday before Mr Justice Nicol with witness' evidence
Johnny Depp's ex-wife Amber Heard today donned the same green mask design as her sister Whitney wore to court the day before.
The 34-year-old actress was spotted wearing the face covering, which has a strikingly similar pattern to that of her sister's, and holding a takeaway coffee as she left the High Court in London.
The pair are wearing cloth masks to protect against coronavirus, as the material helps to block infections carried via microscopic particles in the air.
But if not sanitised thoroughly, swapping masks can increase the risk of transmitting a virus as the coverings come into direct contact with the mouth and nose - areas where respiratory droplets from a potentially infected person may be inhaled.
It is not evidently clear if the mask is a copy of that worn by her sister yesterday, or whether the face covering has been washed overnight.
Depp is suing The Sun for libel after it labelled him a 'wife beater'. He has called the accusation 'utter falsity' and 'fraudulent' and has claimed Heard abused him throughout their marriage.

It comes as Hollywood legend Depp was re-examined by his barrister after days of damaging allegations by his ex-wife Heard that he attacked her on 14 separate occasions in his libel action against The Sun.
He accused the 34-year-old actress of challenging him to 'tell the world' that he lost his finger in a domestic abuse incident and telling him it was a 'fair fight.'

The nightmare fight involved Depp, 57, painting 'I love U' in blood from his severed finger across the walls of his rented mansion.
He maintains that the injury was inflicted by Ms Heard throwing a bottle at him while she claims that it was sustained when he smashed his own phone against a wall.
Reading from messages allegedly sent by Depp to his ex-wife, Mr Sherborne said: 'Amber I lost a f***ing finger man.. Come on man I had a can of spirits thrown at my nose.'

'And then do you see Ms Heard replies. She doesn't deny it,' the lawyer added.
'It was a fair fight... See what the jury and the judge think. Tell the world Johnny... I, Johnny Depp, a man, I too am a victim of domestic violence,' she allegedly replied.
Depp also claimed his ex-wife would go ballistic at 'small, mundane issues' such as whether she took his boots off or whether he put his arm around her while watching TV on the sofa.
He told the High Court today: 'It was almost as if there were rules, she has a routine and if that routine isn't met to her standards then there was going to be a problem.'
Depp's barrister David Sherborne asked what would happen if he broke his ex-wife's 'rules', to which Depp replied: 'An argument would ensue and all hell would break loose.'
The actor also claimed that Heard repeatedly secretly filmed him and claimed that his notorious video rant shown to court on Tuesday in which he said 'I'll give you f***ing crazy' had 'nothing to do with' Heard.
Fielding questions from Sherborne, he told the High Court: 'The monster story was something that Ms Heard... she rather liked the idea that I was the monster.
'If you have had an argument and you are trying to explain your position in an argument and things do escalate, that for her would become the monster.
'Any time I didn't comply or agree with what was her position, then she would call it the monster and then the monster grew from there into this whole whatever she wanted it to be, and she used it quite a lot.'
Meanwhile, Ms Heard has surrounded herself with a powerful group of women who are supporting her through Depp's blockbuster libel trial.
She has been partying with the glamorous women, dubbed 'Team Heard' who are rallying around her for the case, making eye-catching entrances each morning for the start of proceedings and organising a string of social outings.
'Team Heard' is made up of her sister Whitney, girlfriend Bianca Butti, British legal advisor Jennifer Robinson, who is friends with the Clooneys, American attorney Elaine Bredehoft and the actress' assistant Sara, whose last name is not known.
Depp has been locked away in a plush hotel suite dining alone because rules prevent him from discussing the case with anybody while giving evidence.
The hearing continues on Monday before Mr Justice Nicol with evidence from witnesses including Depp's screenwriter Stephen Deuters.
