Did Kim Kardashian take inspiration from Beyonce for her Met Gala look?
The reality star (34) had been boasting for days about her one of a kind look by Cavalli ahead of last night's Met Gala, but her white couture design left some onlookers noticing the similarities with her rumoured rival Beyonce's 2012 look.
Kim, who attended her first Met Gala in 2013, opted for a Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli white and nude embellished dress as she walked the red carpet with her husband of one year, Kanye West.

In 2012, Beyonce went for a strikingly similar design, featuring black and purple, by Givenchy. And style stalkers were quick to point out the similarities online after seeing the Keeping Up With the Kardashians starlet at the event, dubbed the 'Fashion Oscars'.
Interestingly, Kim also shunned Givenchy this year, in spite of the pair being famously close (including designing her wedding gown) as Ricardo Tisci instead dressed Bey.
Her mother Kris Jenner attended the event in red Balmain, while her model sister Kendall Jenner wore Calvin Klein.
