Lily Allen compares Kylie Jenner’s disastrous Met Gala look to her own V festival ensemble from 2006
Kylie Jenner’s wedding inspired look was branded ‘disastrous’ by some with a host of memes poking fun at her look.
And now Lily Allen has waded into the furore, comparing her look to her own iconic bridal inspired ensemble from V festival in 2006.
The singer, 37, reposted a picture to her Instagram Story which showed both looks side by side, as a fan had spotted out the similarities.
Kylie Jenner ‘s Met Gala outfit certainly turned some heads on Monday night as she donned a mismatched wedding ensemble, with some similarities to another famous style
The outfit in question, which left many scratching their heads, saw Kylie – who has been highly praised for her Met Gala fashion in the past – emerge in a bizarre white ruffled wedding dress.
Kylie’s lengthy raven hair flowed out from under a white veiled baseball cap, which she chose to wear backwards for a sportier look.
One fan noticed the similarities between the ensemble and one of Lily’s from 2006, where she donned a strapless, rainbow gown with a white baseball cap.
The fan wrote: @Kyliejenner is giving off @lilyallen at the 2006 V Festival vibes’
Lily saw the funny side and seemed to repost the snap in agreement, adding a simple ‘lol’ over the story.

Back in the day: Lily’s V Festival look was just as out there as Kylie’s Met one, with a puff-out rainbow gown and a baseball cap
Kylie’s cap, which slightly obscured her famous face, was adorned with floral appliques while the mother-of-one’s odd dress had a full, floor- length skirt and a T-shirt inspired mesh top.
Layered under the mesh was a ruched white spaghetti strap bodice with a sweetheart neckline.
‘OFF’ was printed across the front, seemingly suggesting the stunner’s dress was designed by the late Virgil Abloh’s Off-White label.

A pair of transparent heels poked out from under Kylie’s gown and she accessorized with a pair jeweled dangly earrings that rested on the tops of her shoulders.
But the makeup mogul unfortunately became the punch-line on Twitter as hundreds mocked her bizarre ensemble.
‘Kylie looks like she’s getting married on a baseball field,’ one fan wrote on Twitter, while another compared her look to Meg Griffin on Family Guy.
After storming the red carpet solo and climbing the museum stairs, Kylie made sure to reconnect with her older sister Khloe Kardashian.

Khloe slipped her gym-honed physique into a glitzy gold beaded dress with a semi-sheer skirt that gave a glimpse at her lean legs.
Giving the ensemble an edgier vibe, she layered up the look with a gloved black cloak that rested in the crook of her arms.

The reality TV sensation, 37, opted for a pair of nude strappy heels and concealed her gaze with a pair of reflective gold cateye shades.
Khloe’s bleach blonde tresses were parted to one side and styled in sleek strands that cascaded down her back.
Kylie and Khloe were first spotted together as they left their hotel in New York City en route to the gala.
The train of Kylie’s dress was so long that a male assistant had to carry it for the star as she made the walk from the hotel to a nearby chauffeured SUV.
The Kylie Cosmetics founder also lifted her gown off the ground herself during the short trek.
Kylie teased her unconventional Met Gala look just moments before leaving her hotel in a brief video shared to her Instagram Story.
In the clip, the entrepreneur’s four-year-old daughter Stormi is seen playing with the train of her mother’s gown.
She was seated on the floor in a bright yellow tee and grey sweatpants.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit, also known as the Met Gala, is considered by many as the ‘Super Bowl of celebrity red carpets.’
Fashion’s biggest night is traditionally held the first Monday in May to raise money for the Costume Institute in New York City, with last year’s event moved to September due to the pandemic.
Major moment: Though Kylie is a Met Gala veteran, along with sisters Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian and their mother Kris Jenner, this is the first time that all six Kardashian-Jenner women have been invited to the annual soiree in NYC; (L-R) Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Kendall Jenner pictured

This year’s dress code is ‘gilded glamour’ to match the theme of ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ a continuation of last year’s ‘In America: A Lexicon of Fashion.’
Tickets for the glitzy event can reportedly cost up to $35,000 apiece, while prices for a table range from $200,000 to $300,000, with last year’s bash raking in a whopping $16.4 million for the Met’s Costume Institute.
Regina King, power couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, and Lin-Manuel Miranda are hosting this time, taking over from Timothée Chalamet, Billie Eilish, Amanda Gorman and Naomi Osaka.
This will be Miranda’s first time as a Met Gala co-chair (and guest) but he was originally intended to co-host the 2020 edition before the pandemic forced its cancellation.

Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour is once again supervising the benefit as chairwoman, a position she’s held since 1995. Her fellow honorary co-chairs are designer Tom Ford and Instagram head Adam Mosseri.
As usual, the sartorial theme comes from the exhibit the gala launches: ‘In America: An Anthology of Fashion,’ which is the second of star curator Andrew Bolton’s two-part show exploring the roots of American style.
This exhibit will showcase some lesser-known designers, and also some top film directors, including Sofia Coppola, Martin Scorsese, host King, and last year’s Oscar winner Chloé Zhao.
Bolton said eight directors will create what he called ‘cinematic vignettes’ in the period rooms of the American Wing of the museum.

Similar to the September event, there will be 400 guests this year, lower than the pre-pandemic highs of 500-600 attendees.
The other four are Ford, the celebrated fashion designer who’s also an acclaimed film director, Janicza Bravo (Zola), Julie Dash (Daughters Of The Dust) and Autumn de Wilde (who directed the Jane Austen adaptation Emma. and is also a photographer).
The first part of the exhibition will remain on display in the rooms of the Anna Wintour Costume Center, along with the second part, until September 5.
More than half the pieces in the opening exhibition will be rotated out and garments from designers not yet featured will go on display.
The Met Gala is a huge money-maker for the museum, and provides the Costume Institute with its main source of funding.
