Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

On Sunday, Alan Cumming, 59, arrived at the 2024 Emmy Awards wearing an outfit that was right in line with his signature “Traitors” style.

Stepping out in a beige jacket and black kilt by Teddy Vonranson, the Peacock show’s host continued to pay homage to his Scottish heritage by layering a green and red tartan shirt underneath, with a black and white tie to match.

The bold piece featured an extra bit of material that wrapped around the actor’s body and casually hung over his arm.

While tartan prints have been a mainstay in Cumming’s “Traitors” wardrobe, the look managed to draw comparisons to Taylor Swift, who recently showed up at the 2024 MTV VMAs wearing a yellow plaid corset dress by Dior.

“The bitch stole my look,” the musical theater star joked to People, addressing their similar taste in fashion.

“In the next season there’s a look I have that’s very similar, but I think it’s hilarious that so many people said ‘Taylor Swift looks like Alan Cumming,’ which is a sentence I never thought I would hear.”

Cumming has only increased the dramatics with his outfit over the past two seasons of the reality show.
The comparison also prompted Cumming to call out Swift’s punk look on social media, posting side-by-side photos in a meme that read “I’m Taylor Swift and welcome to The Traitorsssss”

“Ahem, @taylorswift,” Cumming wrote in his Instagram caption, tagging the pop star.

“This was my first thought 😂 you’re her style inspo,” one fan wrote in the comments.

“So the Easter egg she had with that outfit is that she is a contestant on an upcoming season?” another asked.
