Kim Kardashian's Met Gala 2015 Dress Was Inspired by Cher

As soon as we started comparing Kim Kardashian's Roberto Cavalli Met Gala dress to Beyoncé's 2012 Givenchy number, Kim named her true inspiration for the look: Cher. In fact, when the accusations started rolling in, Kim took to Instagram right away, captioning her photo, "Tonight's inspiration! Cher at the 1st ever Met Gala! I just met her and told her this photo was my inspiration for my dress tonight! She is so beautiful! So happy I met her!"

Cher's 1974 creation was designed by Bob Mackie, and it's certainly just as sexy as Kim's dress, boasting sheer details, shimmering bead embellishments, and white feathers. Kim even met up with Cher during the ball and snapped a few photos with the singer and Marc Jacobs, Cher's date for the evening.

Frankly, we were delightfully surprised to see Kim pay homage to such an iconic dress, and we can't say we don't see the similarities between the Bob Mackie number and Kim's own Cavalli gown. However, when we look at Kim's silhouette, we just can't seem to get Beyoncé's out of our heads.

Read on to see Kim walk the red carpet at her third Met Gala along with snaps from her moment with Cher. Then compare Kim's design to both Cher's and Beyoncé's and tell us who you think she was most inspired by.
