Will at least two of my friends accidentally dress up as the same person for a themed party?

Throwing a party with roughly 20 guests today, the theme is dressing up as one of our Top 5 Spotify Artists (based on the 2022 Spotify Wrapped). I often connect with people based on taste in music, therefore, quite a lot of my friends should have similar tastes as well. We didn't tell each other what our costumes are gonna be, so two people having the same idea seems possible. I'll resolve this market tomorrow morning.

Basically another form of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem where there are a couple dozen people but hundreds of pairs. Unlike the birthday problem, there aren't hundreds of equally likely options:

so results should be even more concentrated

predicted NO
