Look at Cardi B! She literally brought the house down in this structured ball gown by Chenpeng Studio at Met Gala 2023 held in New York on May 2 (IST). But what wasn’t hard for anyone to take notice was the striking resemblance that her outfit had to that of Indian businesswoman Natasha Poonawalla’s sartorial pick for a recent event.
That’s right. The American rapper coincidentally turned up for Met Gala 2023 wearing a similar outfit that Natasha wore three days ago at a star-studded event in New York.
Let’s first check out these pictures shared by Natasha from the Prince Trust gala where she even rubbed shoulders with singer Rita Ora, her husband and filmmaker Taika Waititi, and supermodel Stella Maxwell among others.
And now look at Cardi B’s look for Met Gala 2023:
Both Natasha and Cardi B picked up similar ball gowns with 3D floral motifs from the shelves of Chenpeng. The difference, however, was the way Cardi B styled it – with a white shirt collar and tie, honouring the iconic late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld. Cardi B’s gown was also infused with quilted puffer accents and sparkling details on the bodice.
As strange as it may sound, re-using the outfit with minor tweaks could just be a way ahead to sustainable fashion. For now, eagle-eyed fashion fans are just wondering – who wore it better?
