Kim Kardashian is being accused of having copied one of Beyonce’s old Met Gala dresses at this year’s Met Gala held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday in New York City.

The 34-year-old reality star was joined by her husband, Kanye West, at the annual fundraising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute in New York City. Her backless sheer white gown was designed by Peter Dundas, a Norwegian-born fashion designer who’s the new creative director of Roberto Cavalli. It features intricate lacy beading and a long train of wispy feathers. Kanye also wore a Roberto Cavalli by Peter Dundas tuxedo, shirt, and scarf.
