Rachel Arderi, a Cuban influencer and wife of reggaeton artist Oniel Bebeshito, once again became the center of attention on social media after appearing in an spectacular metallic gold dress at the Miss Universe Cuba event. The fitted dress with a mirror-like finish made her one of the most talked-about figures of the day on Instagram.

"I feel very proud to be Cuban," Rachel wrote alongside the post, which quickly garnered over 45,000 likes and received praise for her elegance, attitude, and presence.

But the best came afterwards. The Cuban influencer Kenny Robert —true to his style of satire and juicy gossip— dedicated an entire video reacting to Rachel's look. And it wasn't just any reaction: he spoke on behalf of her and La Dura, recalling that Jacob Forever's wife had worn a silver dress of the same style just two months earlier.

From there, the networks lit up. The old question resurfaced: Is Rachel drawing inspiration from La Dura?

The factions formed instantly. Some claimed it was a blatant copy, while others rushed to defend it with all their might, using their nails, teeth, and emojis. Comments like "There is no comparison," "Rachel is a copy," "La Dura is the mother of the chicks," and "This looks like a Cuban soap opera at 10 PM" flooded the post.

And of course, there was no shortage of good humor. "They look like the ambassadors of Ferrero Rocher," "The Mother’s Day gift," "They wrapped themselves in chocolate wrappers," were some of the most shared phrases. There were also conciliatory voices reminding everyone that both have different styles, and that there's no need to pit them against each other.

Amid memes, laughter, and the occasional risqué comment, Kenny Robert's video became one of the most viral of the day, confirming what we already know: in the Cuban digital realm, fashion and entertainment always come with flair, controversy... and plenty of sparkle.
