Kim Petras channels Britney Spears in denim gown on AMAs 2022 red carpet
Oops! Someone wore it again.
Kim Petras appeared to channel Britney Spears’ iconic denim gown from 21 years ago on the AMAs 2022 red carpet Sunday night.
The “Unholy” singer, 30, was seen walking the red carpet in a long denim strapless dress with a mermaid silhouette by Blumarine. The gown was embellished with copper studs and belted at the waist.
She accessorized with a coordinating denim purse by the same label, as well as a massive cross necklace.
Petras’ look mirrored the denim gown that Spears, now 40, wore while attending the 2001 American Music Awards.
The “Toxic” singer turned heads in a strapless patchwork denim number that hugged her curves and was also accessorized with a chain belt and a denim purse. The pop star finished her look with a dazzling choker necklace.
Spears famously matched her all-denim look with Justin Timberlake, who wore an indigo blazer, jeans and a cowboy hat while attending the event with his then-girlfriend.
It’s no surprise that Petras would take inspiration from the “Crossroads” actress. The rising star has previously discussed how Spears has been an influence in her music career.
In 2020, Petras revealed that her “Icy” music video was inspired by Spears’ “Stronger” visuals, saying, “It’s one of my favorite videos ever.”
And last year, the German-born singer told “Access” that she learned English by watching Spears’ interviews “over and over and over with subtitles” because she “wanted to know what she was saying.”
She added, “I’m really obsessed with her.”
Petras isn’t the only singer to draw fashion inspiration from Spears’ denim ensemble. Camila Cabello wore a Canadian tuxedo during an appearance on the “Today” show in April, and at the 2014 VMAs, Katy Perry and rapper Riff Raff pulled off a spot-on tribute to Spears’ and Timberlake’s matching moment.
