Kylie Jenner vs Beyonce's Halloween costume: Who did it better?

Kylie Jenner has been slammed for “copying” Beyoncé’s Barbie Halloween outfit, sparking a big debate about who wore it better.

Jenner celebrated the spookiest day of the year on Wednesday with several costume changes, but it was her Barbie-inspired look that sparked a backlash on social media.

The 21-year-old posted a series of snaps on Instagram of herself in character, complete with props to help recreate the iconic look.

But despite putting in the effort, fans couldn’t help but point out the similarity to Beyoncé’s outfit back in 2016, with many accusing her of copying the US pop superstar.

Beyoncé stunned as Black Barbie two years ago, posing in a see-through dolls box while wearing a striped black-and-white leotard.

The Lemonade singer recreated Barbie’s iconic pose, holding one hand on her hip with the other raised skywards.

One scathing user wrote: “Didn't somebody else, er Beyonce, do this first? I am waiting for you to show some ORIGINALITY...just ONCE!! Always biting...”

While another said: “Beyonce already did it...next.”

“Beyoncé did it first and the best @KylieJenner,” added somebody else.

Beyoncé took her inspiration from Toni Braxton this year as she celebrated the October holiday with a throwback to the 90s.

The 37-year-old was hailed a “superstar” by the singer who fangirled over the US artist after she paid homage to her.

Beyonce renamed herself “Phoni Braxton” as she donned a cropped black wig, red lips and a leather jacket to work Braxton’s famous pose.
