Beyonce’s Bold Fashion Choice: “She Looked Fantastic”

Beyonce Knowles is known for her glamorous wardrobe choice, tending to glittering gowns, curve-hugging minis and elegant creations from Armani for her many red carpet events. Which is why we did a double take when the singer turned up at the MTV Europe Awards in not one, but two dresses from notoriously edgy British designer Gareth Pugh. Beyonce’s stylist Ty Hunter tells PEOPLE, “Gareth Pugh’s work is explosive and she had to wear it. She thinks he is an amazing talent.” The young Brit is a master of dark, almost-goth looks with incredible architectural details. Beyonce’s performance dress, which is made of elastic bands and rows and rows of YKK zippers, first appeared on the designer’s Fall 2008 runway with matching leggings that Knowles wisely skipped. Pugh himself tells PEOPLE, “I’m delighted she wore my dresses, she looked fantastic.” We agree, and we love that Beyonce is supporting up-and-coming young designers while trying out cool, new looks. That metallic robot glove, we’re a little less sure about. Tell us: What do you think of Beyonce’s fashion choice? – reporting by Monique Jessen

Who cares!!! Beyonce is a sellout!

Lisa hit the nail right on the head with her comment about Bey still rocking the big mall hair and hoop earrings with this outfit.

That just sums up how un-’her’ this outfit is. Beyonce’s style is not edgy – it is full on, full out, big weave, glittery, shiny, down-south, country girl diva-tastic.

And even when she tries to be edgy she doesn’t know how to pull it off.

I can’t help but agree with some of the other posters that she looks like she’s trying to compete with Rihanna in this whole edgy thing and it’s a bit unseemly and unnecessary. Bey should just let herself be who she is.

It was fantastic on the runway but just didn’t translate to the stage/real life! Life goes on…next big event please!
