Miley Cyrus Accused of Plagiarizing This Actress’s Dress at the 2025 Golden Globes

There are soccer hooligans, and then there are fashion and red-carpet hooligans—those of us who get just as (or even more) excited by the most eye-catching news surrounding the fashion industry.

This past Monday, the fashion police sirens went off when Miley Cyrus stepped onto the Golden Globes 2025 red carpet wearing a gown that looks remarkably similar to one by a renowned designer who dressed one of the biggest international Spanish-speaking stars. Is it plagiarism? Let’s take a closer look.

The gown in question is the one Elsa Pataky wore to last year’s Oscars, where she stole the show in a stunning dress featuring a V-neckline, symmetrical cuts, and sparkling crystals. The piece was crafted by Ze García, led by Spanish designer José María García, one of the most prestigious and innovative names in Hispanic haute couture.

Well, here’s the thing: When we compare the two looks, the resemblance is more than a little striking. Miley’s dress was made by the luxury French brand Celine. The only apparent differences are the color (Elsa’s dress was white, Miley’s is black) and the crystal-embellished neckline on the Spanish actress’s gown.

The fit also varies slightly: Elsa’s dress seems more tailored to her figure, while Miley’s has a looser drape. But other than that… let’s just say they’re almost identical.

After digging into the creation process for Miley’s outfit—which made her one of the red carpet’s standout stars—there’s no record of it being an archival piece from Celine or anything from the brand’s past collections (her go-to stylist, Bradley Kenneth, hasn’t clarified this on his social media either). This suggests it’s a relatively recent design.

To be fair, overlaps and similarities in the fashion world aren’t uncommon. But it’s worth noting that Ze García’s creation is a highly specific, innovative, and unique design. This time, the resemblance is raising more eyebrows than usual—even the brand itself reposted a side-by-side comparison on its Instagram profile.

So, what do you think? Inspiration… or something more?
