Well alright! Whoever styled Willow Smith for the 2010 AMAs is accused of stealing the wardrobe design that Willow wore on the red carpet. Willow wore a funky yellow harness that Mother of London designer Mildred Vin Hildegard says is a rip off of her original idea. She spoke to website Haute Macabre saying:
"I'm disappointed and saddened that this will negatively impact my business. My original design is now recognized in the mass media as someone else's work, and it's very hurtful on both...personal and professional levels. I hope this can be resolved, and I wish nothing but the best to Willow."
So who ripped off Mildred? No one seems to know because Willow worked with a new stylist that night and no one is fessing up. According to Mariel Haenn, Willow's interim she tweeted,
"Just an fyi, we only dressed Rihanna last nite. I don't like when people try to credit me for work that's not mine."She then emailed COILHOUSE Magazine:"To be honest I have no idea who 'styled' her or the designer. Wish I did. I don't ask my clients who they used when I'm not available."

Hey, free publicity. What are your thoughts?
