Fans have claimed Pete Davidson was dressed by Kanye West after he appeared to recreate one of the rapper’s most memorable fashion moments at the Emmys.
The 28-year-old, who split from West’s ex wife Kim Kardashian last month, made a surprise appearance at Monday’s ceremony to present the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series to Ted Lasso.
While on stage, the Bodies, Bodies, Bodies actor used the opportunity to poke fun at his time on Saturday Night Live alongside his former co-star Kenan Thompson, who was hosting the ceremony.
He joked: "This is just like SNL because Kenan is doing all the work and I’m refusing to say what the writers want."
Despite his banter, viewers at home couldn’t help but comment on Davidson’s uncharacteristic grey outfit.
In fact, The Suicide Squad actor’s Dickies Eisenhower jacket and matching trousers were the same, sans colour, worn by West to 2019’s Met Gala alongside Kardashian.
Davidson was subject to several distasteful and disturbing social media posts by West during his relationship with Kardashian, including one last month that declared ‘Skete dead’ which has since been deleted.
Now commenting on the unusual fashion decision, one eagle-eyed viewer penned on Twitter: "Not Pete Davidson dressed up like Kanye at the Emmy’s".
"Pete Davidson looks like Kanye West dressed him," another remarked. "It’s wild that Pete came out dressed like Kanye tonight."
A fourth commented: "Pete Davidson coming out of absolute nowhere to present the last award of the night. Looking like Kanye dressed him."
"Pete Davidson got on a whole Dickies fit at the Emmy’s Kanye bout to have a cow," a viewer suggested. The Evening Standard have contacted Pete Davidson’s rep for comment.
Elsewhere, Kardashian recently wished Davidson the best after the couple ended their relationship last month. The 41-year-old dated the funnyman for nine months after meeting him on the set of Saturday Night Live in October 2021.
Although their whirlwind romance came to an end in August, the SKIMS founder has no animosity towards Davidson as she spoke highly of the Saturday Night Live star in a chat with Interview Magazine.
She shared in the magazine’s American Dream issue: “He’s a cutie. He’s literally such a good person, they don’t really make them like him anymore. I’m excited for what he has coming up.”
The couple reportedly decided to end their relationship last month due to their demanding schedules after Davidson travelled to Australia to film his new project, Wizards!.
At the time, a source told E News! that the pair have “a lot of love and respect for each other,” but that the long distance “made it really difficult to maintain a relationship”.
The former couple filed for divorce in 2021 after almost seven years of marriage and Kim was ruled legally single earlier this year. They share four children: North, nine, Saint, six, Chicago, four, and Psalm, three.
