Amanda Seyfried walked the red carpet at the Met Gala 2023 wearing a custom Oscar de la Renta dress. Fashion stylist Elizabeth Stewart styled the Dropout actress.

The beige mini dress consisted of fine beading chains over a corset. Amanda finished her look with wavy hair, red lipstick, and golden heels. Makeup artist Genevieve Herr gave Mamma Mia! actress a golden goddess look with rosy eyeshadow.

Netizens were in awe of the look, however, many compared it with Taylor Swift’s VMAs outfit. During MTV Video Music Awards 2022, the singer donned a similar Oscar de la Renta “naked dress,” but her outfit’s beads were diamond-like crystals. While Amanda Seyfried went golden, Taylor was covered in sparkling silver.

Take a look at fans pointing out the similarities between Amanda Seyfried’s Met Gala 2023 dress and Taylor Swift's VMAs 2022 outfit.

However, there were several people who also praised Seyfried's look and said that she was "interesting to look at."

In her pre-red carpet interview, Amanda spoke about the event and said:

“It's an event and we have to show off our outfits. I mean, there's been... A lot of work is put into every single thing that we're wearing. So we have to be the good models that we are.”

Although her outfit turned out to be similar to Taylor Swift’s VMAs outfit, the Hollywood star looked gorgeous.

Interestingly, the Grammy-winning singer didn’t attend the fashion event.


Why did Taylor Swift skip the Met Gala 2023?

Superstar Taylor Swift skipped the Met Gala once again this year. The singer has been missing from the biggest fashion event for a few years.

Reports suggested that she didn’t attend the event as it clashed with her work schedule. She is currently on her nationwide Eras Tour and thus has tour rehearsals, back-to-back concerts, and a lot of travel.

It wasn't just Taylor, many celebrities skipped this year’s event. Some of them include Blake Lively, Zendaya, Beyoncé, Bella Hadid, Kris Jenner, Madison Beer, Jennifer Connelly, Lily-Rose Depp, Katy Perry, Lana Del Rey, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga, and Selena Gomez.
