Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey did it first, and Dua Lipa and Megan Thee Stallion recreated the famous-yet-cheeky fashion moment at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards.

In the gag, sold as ‘fashion faux pas’, Houston and Carey — during the MTV Video Music Awards in 1998 — wore near-identical brown dresses. Realising it, Carey ripped off a portion of her dress, displaying her legs and giving the look a whole-new appeal.

Houston followed suit, and her slit appeared a tad similar, except it included a train. They showered praises on each other before they got back to presenting. “Now that’s a page-turner,” Carey said. “No, you look good,” Houston responded, proceeding to hug her.

“Now we both look like winners,” Megan declared, nodding to the iconic 1998 moment.
