Claire gave us the tea on Rihanna’s Givenchy Bird of Paradise Tee, but what did she pair it with? None other than the same $1,290 Tom Ford Black Leather Chain Wedges Beyoncé wore in Paris back in June.
Rihanna kept the rest of her outfit fairly simple with black pants and cherry red lips to let her tee and shoes play centerstage, but Beyoncé went rocker chic in an $868 DSquared2 Red Smoking Blazer, $895 J Brand Super Skinny Leather Leggings, and a $525 Alexander McQueen De-Manta Tiger Print Clutch.
The leather wedges boast chain ankle straps and measure at 5″ high.
I have to give it to my girl B this time around. Though she’s making a statement with her look, the shoes are the perfect addition where as Rihanna’s focal point really is her tee. You barely get to the bottom of her ensemble, which just isn’t fair when you’re wearing Tom Ford shoes.
What do you think? Who wore ‘em better?

Ri Ri looks good & her look works for her, but Bey got this one.

Rihanna = effortless cool

I voted for both but I must admit that Beyonce look a lot more pulled together.
August 21, 2012 3:05 pm

August 21, 2012 3:06 pm

August 21, 2012 3:15 pm

August 21, 2012 3:18 pm
They both look amazing , it depends where you are going.
August 21, 2012 3:21 pm
Bey killed this one!
August 21, 2012 3:36 pm
Beyonce!!!!
August 21, 2012 3:40 pm
Beyonce is way more pulled together in those shoes.
August 21, 2012 3:40 pm
Bet
August 21, 2012 4:01 pm
They both look cute but B’s got this
August 21, 2012 4:09 pm
Beyonce. Her look is more put together.
August 21, 2012 4:17 pm
Beyoncé, of course!
August 21, 2012 4:31 pm
Beyonce!
August 21, 2012 4:40 pm
loved them both
August 21, 2012 4:49 pm
both!! they wore them differently but equally cute.
August 21, 2012 5:00 pm
Beyonce! I like that her pants stop right before her ankle to show of the chain detail. Rihanna’s baggy pants are doing it for me.
August 21, 2012 5:19 pm
I’m gonna have to go with Bey-Bey on this one, only because her look is a little more sophisticated with the blazer.
August 21, 2012 5:24 pm
They both look nice. I love those wedges!
August 21, 2012 5:26 pm
Not usually a fan of Beyonce’s style but she gets my vote on this one!
August 21, 2012 5:44 pm
Beyonce ! It looks great paired with her leather pants
August 21, 2012 6:30 pm
Beyonce take it
August 21, 2012 9:06 pm
Love Beyonce look with the shoes. Riri would of looked nice with a different shirt. (More fitted)
August 21, 2012 11:54 pm
Beyonce killed it!!! Go Blue’s MAMA lol!!
August 22, 2012 12:26 am
I like Rihanna’s style for this one better it looks more unique and original
August 22, 2012 7:49 am
Both look good but Bey overall.
August 22, 2012 10:28 am
My votes goes to Bee!
August 22, 2012 11:36 am
Bey looks more pulled together compared to her usual ‘fits, but she looks like she’s been frollicking in Kim K’s pre-Kanye closet. Nothing to see here, keep it moving. Rihanna’s bringing something new even if the shirt outshines the shoes – she rocks it better.

beyonce
August 22, 2012 4:39 pm
Bey’s pants are just the right length to show off the shoe.
August 22, 2012 10:23 pm
that looks like an Alexander McQueen bag B is carrying. The pattern looks like it matches that bodycon dress Emily B wore to Trey’s album release party.
August 23, 2012 3:13 pm
I like Beyonce’s look better. never thought I’d ever say that lol
August 23, 2012 7:22 pm
I prefer Rihanna’s less pulled together look. I agree with Anon that it is “effortless cool.” I am really loving her pants.
August 24, 2012 5:17 pm
King Bey of course!!!
August 26, 2012 12:20 am
Who would have thought I say Beyonce….Rih needs to get back on!
