Beyoncé’s show-stopping Givenchy look at the 2015 Met Gala may have had more inspirations than anyone realized. Beyoncé included. An eagle-eyed instagram showed off an uncanny resemblance between Beyonce’s look and that worn by the amiable princess whom Eddie Murphy’s Prince of Zamunda is originally supposed to marry in the 1988 hit Coming to America. Vanessa Bell Calloway, who wore the outfit in the movie and whose later film credits included Love Don’t Cost a Thing and Cheaper by the Dozen, saw the comparison online and wrote, “What an honor to be photo framed next to my fav singer @Beyonce! That was 27 years ago for me & she’s now! #METGALA2015.”
