US reality TV star Kim Kardashian has been accused of copying Beyonce's old Met Gala outfit, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala 2015 in Manhattan, New York.

The 34-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who was accompanied by husband Kanye West on the red carpet, wore a backless Roberto Cavalli white gown with fringe at the bottom.

And Twitter users were quick to notice Kardashian's white lace dress' striking similarities to Beyonce's 2012 Met Gala gown, which was designed by Givenchy.
