Kylie Jenner seems to be building a bad reputation – a reputation in copying other people’s outfits. We can’t count on one finger the many times she dressed up in an outfit that has been done by someone else already.

While it is true that imitation is the best form of flattery, don’t you think it is also the case that the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner brood is sorely lacking in style that she can call her own?

1. Kylie Jenner went edgy in a striped fitted dress

The 17-year-old flaunted her curves in a Balmain gold lurex striped leather dress that she teamed up with a pair of Balmain “Hopi” leather cage sandals. The dress was cinched at the waist by an ornate belt.

This look is easily a winner in our book except for one thing: it looks almost exactly like what Karolina Kurkova wore two years ago!

2. Karolina Kurkova in the exact same Balmain dress

The styling is almost identical. The 31-year-old also cinched the dress at the waist with a metallic belt. She also opted for a pair of booties.

To be fair, we think Kylie rocked the dress as well as Karolina. We guess the reality star just couldn’t help but gravitate towards the same styling. Why fix it if it isn’t broken, right?

While Kylie’s dress is not available online, we have found some similar dresses from the same designer power house:

Okay, ladies. It’s time to judge. Who do you think wore this Balmain dress better?
