DidAddison RaeandKourtney Kardashian’sfamous friendship just make it all the way to the2021 Met Gala? Social media posts from eagle-eyed fans are pretty convincing!
After the TikTok star, 20, walked last night’s red carpet in a Tom Ford for Gucci dress that featured a pleated corset bodice, the Internet was quick to point out that her Poosh founder BFF, 42, wore an almost identical look to the annualKardashian Christmas Eveparty back in 2019.

Some fans evenspeculatedthat Rae borrowed Kardashian’sactualdress for fashion’s biggest night. Upon further review, the garments arenotthe same — theHe’s All Thatactress' had a scoop neckline and straps whereas the reality star’s did not — but they are from the same 2003 collection.
“ADDISON IS WEARING KOURTNEY’S CHRISTMAS DRESS,” one person wrote.
Rae described it as “vintage” on the red carpet, and if that isn’t a sign of these Gen Z influencer-ruled times we’re not sure what is!
The star also toldVoguethat she and her image architect Law Roach chose the design because they wanted to go with an American designer known to “empower women.” She said, “I wanted to pay homage to that.”
Rae added: “We found exactly what kind of message we wanted to put across and this dress was perfect for that.”
A few hours before the event, Rae hinted at her Met Gala dress color. She posted some throwback photos of iconic celebrity women wearing red dresses, including Marilyn Monroe, Cindy Crawford, Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears and Kate Moss.
Rae also commented on making her Met debut, saying it felt like a surreal experience. “I am shaking in my boots!” she said toVogue.

“When you look at all of the Gucci references during the Tom Ford era, everything had a certain sleekness that exuded freedom. Tom knew how to bring strength and confidence with his clothes to make a woman feel sexy. That’s exactly what I wanted to do with the hair,” Abergel tells PEOPLE.
