Despite receiving pushback, LisaRaye still believes she inspired Kylie's Schiaparelli look.

We witnessed several stars turn heads at Paris Fashion Week, but few had the effect of Kylie Jenner. The reality mogul appeared at the Schiaparelli show wearing the designer's original gown adorned with a faux fur lion's head on one shoulder. The look even received approval from PETA, but LisaRaye McCoy took to Instagram to point out that she wore the style first—sort of. The actress did wear a white gown with a small tiger's head on one shoulder for Da Brat's birthday party. She penned a caption saying Jenner copied her style.

More recently, while on Cocktails with Queens, McCoy doubled down on her sentiment. She faced backlash from people who pointed out that Jenner wasn't responsible for designing the gown. It didn't sway McCoy at all as she defended her position.

"I meant it, but I meant it absolutely in a good way, 'cause I think, you know, when you're creative, and you see something else that reminds you of what you've done—of course, her head was bigger than my tiger head. And of course, it was in a different color, but same idea. For the designer or her deciding to wear it, but it waslike, bravo! Great minds think alike."

"We did it first. I'm not the first-first," McCoy recognized as she brought up Coming to America. The actress questioned if the designer was also inspired by the classic Eddie Murphy comedy. Still, people in the comment section rebelled against McCoy's latest declaration.

In her original post, McCoy shared a side-by-side comparison and wrote in the caption: "Yes @adrejhono YOU all plus bestie @kevinarnett did this look on meeeeeeee and it slayed!!! It's nice to see others @kyliejenner copy and try to duplicate it in there way but we did it 1st baby. Thank yall again. Since we're trending maybe we all need to get together and come up with something for someone to be inspired by……again!"
