1991: Cindy Crawford

You’re not alone if Cindy Crawford’s Met Gala costume from 2018 gave you déjà vu! Many people observed that the model’s red Met Gala gown was similar to her 1991 Versace outfit.

Crawford looked stunning in a floor-length red gown with a plunging neckline and halter straps. As we noticed, she wore an identical dress 29 years ago at the 1991 Academy Awards when she debuted with then-boyfriend Richard Gere. Crawford and Susan Sarandon presented the Oscar for Best Set Design. Her plunging scarlet gown is one of the most sultry, jaw-dropping red carpet dresses of all time. The gowns are frighteningly similar, yet the 1991 version has a stomach-grazing neckline and a slit down the back instead of the front. Crawford’s red Versace gown is one of the few outfits in history to have its own Wikipedia page, so we ought to give credit to the model for making it memorable.
