Between Coming To America actress & that dress Beyonce wore to Met Gala

If you've seen the classic movie 'Coming To America' then you should know Vanessa Bell Calloway . She's the actress who played Akeem's first chosen bride-to-be who barked like a dog when he asked her to (that's them left). People feel Beyonce got the inspiration for her Met Gala dress from the one Vanessa wore in the 1988 classic movie. The 58 year old actress was honored for the comparison

      I prefer ds comparison to d first one. But i don't understand d fuss about d comparisons tho. It won't change d fact that she's a queen.

      Bey dress was too revealing compare to d former. She didn't bother to wear pant or bra. Wht a shame.

    This is a better inspiration than the first.
    But I do not get the fuss about the whole comparison.
    It still won't stop Bey from being the queen that she is.
    All hail Queen Bey

      Oh really.but thought you were abusing Kim.Beyonce is always in one controversy or the other with regards to her songs.she's constantly accused of stealing someone's songs etc.I think she's a very talented artist but please she's not squeaky clean

    Please don't insult that elegant and classy dress worn in Coming to America by comparing it to that tacky nonsense Beyonce wore. Just walking naked in public without shame. The dress in Coming to America covered the lady up and accentuated her beauty.
