Kylie Jenner seems to be developing a reputation for copying other people’s outfits. The number of times she has been spotted wearing an ensemble previously worn by someone else is too many to count.
While imitation is often considered the sincerest form of flattery, it also raises the question: Is the youngest of the Kardashian-Jenner clan struggling to find a unique style of her own?

The 17-year-old flaunted her curves at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in a gold lurex-striped leather dress paired with Balmain “Hopi” leather cage sandals. An ornate belt cinched the dress at the waist.

While this look is undoubtedly a winner in our book, it resembles an outfit worn by Karolina Kurkova two years ago!

Karolina Kurkova attended the ‘For The Love Of Cinema’ event hosted by IWC Schaffhausen at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, alongside Naomi Watts.

The supermodel wore a high-neck Balmain Pre-Fall 2013 long-sleeved black leather mini dress with gold piping. She styled the outfit with a gold-embellished belt and black booties, highlighting her long legs.

The styling is almost identical. However, the 31-year-old also cinched the dress at the waist with a metallic belt and opted for booties.

We believe Kylie and Karolina looked stunning in the dress. It seems the reality star was naturally drawn to the same style. After all, why change something that works so well?
