Kim claims Cher was the inspiration, the Beyhive charges

Some months ago, when Kim Kardashian wasn’t Mrs. Kim Kardashian West yet, and she’d just started to befriend Beyonce, there was a rumor that she was doing her best to copy everything the singer did, down to the color of her hair, her style and her styling.

That rumor seemed to be confirmed last night, at the Costume Institute Benefit Gala in New York, aka the MET Gala 2015. The Beyhive, Beyonce’s loyal fans, believe that Kim’s white see-through dress wasn’t really inspired by Cher, as she claimed it was, but by one of Beyonce’s recent looks, also at the MET Gala.

Kim is nothing but a Bey copycat

Mrs. Kardashian West walked the red carpet at this year’s edition of the Gala in a Roberto Cavalli see-through, bejeweled dress that ended in a short train of white feathers. She was accompanied by her husband, rapper Kanye West, who looked admiringly on.

It would only make sense for him to be proud of his wife, since it has been said that he picks every one of her outfits, from those she wears on the red carpet to those she puts on while running errands or making TV appearances.

So either he is obsessed with Beyonce, or Kim took her fangirling one step further, because her look last night was identical to the one Bey rocked at the MET Gala 3 years ago, when she rocked a black and purple Givenchy see-through gown.

At the time, Beyonce’s look was the most controversial of the night, and even generated many hilarious jokes online. Today, it’s considered a “classic” one.

You can compare the 2 dresses in the gallery below; it seems that Kim even copied Beyonce’s styling, with that tight ponytail.

Kim claims Cher inspired her, the Beyhive disagrees

As you can see in the first Instagram photo below, Kim told her millions of fans and followers that her inspiration in the choice of the dress was one that Cher wore to the MET Gala many years ago. She even included a photo of a very young Cher in said dress, as if to convince them that she was speaking the truth.

However, the Beyhive is not convinced - and they’re attacking the reality star for trying to talk her way out of an embarrassing situation.

The Beyhive is now leading the charge on Kim, which, as usual, means bombarding her Instagram posts with comments containing dozens of bee emojis. Some of Beyonce’s fans are also calling Kim out shamelessly, telling her she’s nothing but a cheap copycat, a reality star who will never be even half as gorgeous and glamourous as Queen Bey.

Do you think they’re right?
