Beyonce kills it in Lupita Nyong’o’s Gucci dress
Who wore it best?


Who wore it best?
All eyes were on Beyonce and Blue Ivy last night at the Beauty & The Beast premiere, and while you might have been distracted by Blue Ivy’s hidden message to Adele, you probably missed the fact you’ve seen Bey’s dress before.
In fact, the stunning bright green Gucci number was worn by none other than Lupita Nyong’o at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
Lupita made the most of the embellished maxi, twirling her way up the red carpet. Let’s be honest, this dress, with its silk pleats, was absolutely made for twirling, and Lupita worked it like a pro.
Fast forward a couple of years, and Beyonce resurrected the frock, making it her own. Going for the statement look, she matched the heavy beading on the dress with some oversized gemstone earrings.
And while Lupita wore green shoes with hers, Beyonce opted for some gold heels. Because Beyonce.
So, who wore it best? Honestly, they both look like goddesses in their own right, so it’s a tie.
