Fans around the world rejoiced last year when Rihanna dropped her highly anticipated Puma x Fenty collection, and the reaction this time around has been no different. The singer launched her new seasonal collection, which included these chic pink bow slide sandals on March 9 of this year.
Some very suspicious fans recently took to Twitter, saying that retail giant Forever 21 ripped off RiRi's design. The evidence? A pair of slides listed on their website that looks almost identical to the Puma design.
Wow. Forever21 already duping the Puma Fenty by Rihanna pink bow slides... #FENTYxPUMA#shoes#Fenty#Pumapic.twitter.com/F7gWri2aKb

The shoes retail on the Forever 21 website for only $24.90, a stark contrast to the $90 you'd pay for the original. Aside from this particular incident, the chain has come under fire several times for alleged copying, like last August when they were accused of ripping off indie fashion designer Emily Oberg's Sporty & Rich sweatshirt.
What do you think, collegiettes? Should Forever 21 admit their mistake? Or is it just healthy competition?
