4. Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion share a sartorial moment at the Grammy Awards
Two of music’s biggest names came together on the Grammy stage to present an award for Best New Artist, where they recreated a moment from pop culture history with a staged wardrobe mishap. Yep, Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion took to the stage wearing the same black Versace wrap dress, gold chains and chunky gold pendant. “Not you stealing my look,” said Megan Thee Stallion. “I was told I had the exclusive,” replied Dua Lipa, “I’m going to have to have a talk with Donatella.”
The sartorial exchange was a playful reference to another awards show that took place in 1988 at the Video Music Awards. Music legends Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston used fashion to make light of their alleged professional rivalry. They wore the same brown Vera Wang dress as part of a planned skit.
