Am I... obsessed with these two? GRAMMYs
, Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion paid tribute to two legendary divas that came before them: Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston.
Dua and Megan hit the stage on Sunday night to present the Grammy for Best New Artist, but a minor wardrobe snafu distracted them from the mission at hand: both artists arrived wearing the same sultry black Versace gown. The question was nothing about who wore it better. It was much more pressing: Who was going to change on such short notice? The obvious comedy bit was already cute, but devoted pop culture scholars, of course, knew where this was going.
“Nice dress,” quipped Carey. “Yeah, um, you look pretty good, too. You do,” joked Houston. After some musings about the seemingly “one of a kind” dress both singers were promised, Carey declared that she came prepared for such a situation and proceeded to tear off the front of her skirt into a daring asymmetrical silhouette. “Try it on me,” she yelled as the crowd predictably lost its mind. Not to be outdone, Houstontore off the front of her dress to fashion a flowing high-low look.
Now, over twenty years later, Dua and Megan’s cheeky dress gag tribute ended in similar fashion. Dresses were shortened, Donatella Versace herself gave the artists her blessing with the extreme tailoring, and a new pop culture moment entered the cultural canon.
