Whose Eyewear is More Outrageous: Rihanna or Beyonce?

Frank Micelotta/Getty; VT/SJ/Splash News Online

We thought Beyonce’s metal glove was already an over-the-top look, but we spied the singer sporting some pretty wacky sunglasses while filming her lastest video for “Diva” this weekend. Check out that metal fringe! But apparently, out-there eyewear is the newest fashion trend for stars, because Rihanna performed at the American Music Awards this weekend in a bejeweled eyepatch. Now we want your opinion! Tell us: Which star’s eyewear is more outrageous? Rihanna or Beyonce?

Joie

What were/are they thinking?!

Debra

Rihanna’s eyewear is cute and sexy to wear on stage or in a video. Beyonce’s eyewear is just downright ridiculous, however; perhaps if her head was mounted in the back window of a 1960’s car (think bobblehead and bobblewaisted hula dancers!), it just might be work.

Bre

for real, these ladies are beautiful what are they doing covering up their eyes with wacky eyewear. Both are hideous pieces but atleast only one of Rihanna’s eyes are covered.

Bamma

Joie, what do you mean what are they thinking…it’s part of the costume. Do you say that about the rock bands? Now, that’s some outrageous stuff!

Susan

Is Rihanna trying to look like Prince? I don’t consider an eyepatch to be “eyewear”, so my vote went to Rihanna.

riahanna needs to chilllllllllllllllllllll with the rock on dude lookkkkk……she looks like a dude alright …buh juss not right……i dunno why people like looking ugly on purpose….i guess she juss wants to make money and she’ll do anything…buh truthfully she needs to relaxxxxx and calm down and be herself….

beyonce…..will always look pretty…buh plz she shouldn’t wear those glasses again….well at least jiggah my *i**ah (friend)will tell beyonce if she looks like shyt….

Lyn

Beyonce trying to keep with Rihanna, NO CHANCE!!! Rihanna is far more beautiful, talented and if she wanted Jay-Z, I bet she could have him too.

dee

Rihanna is the bomb. I think they are very fashionable, sexy & different. Even though Beyonce is my girl….I’m not feeling those glasses at all.

c

beyonce rocks rhianna sucks

Gisele

the competition between the two starts to have one loser : me because I’m lost so much that between the original and the copycat I will not even try to figure out! I’ll get myself a Katy Perry and a Lady Gaga for the fun, and the cherry on the cake : Yelle whose cover of Hot n Cold of Katy Perry is over the top!

Megan

Rihanna’s is ok but Beyonce’s looks like window shades.

Jon

What Beyonce and Rihanna are wearing are both ugly, but Beyonce’s is the worst.

Beyonce again trying to catch up to rihanna but its getting worse and worse everytime we see her-she looks like a friggin idiot!!!Rihanna keeps inspiring us with her otherwordly beauty that she totally has become the expert at enflaming with her exotic indefinable style!!She is the future of young girl beautiful walking around in la,new york,toronto or wherever-looks like she is a firey pheonix that will continue to occupy the top spot in iconic women we all wish we could look like.Her style is intelligent and with a pleasant sprinkle of trouble everytime!Beyonce is boring and is not the kind of girl who will keep you excited and interest all the time like rihanna can unless your a guy who frequesnts strip clubs-keep it real!!She’s predictable and copies artist styles from the past who were successful,her single ladies video which sounds like some ghetto chick arguin with her ex boyfriend in the parkin lot of some southern club,was a remake of a bob fosse prouduction I believe.If you take a close look at all he past songs and videos you will see how she is always attempting to embody and imitate styles from successful singers in the past.Love to love you?Donna Summer.Bootylicious?Micheal Jackson.You must not know bout me?Just plain old full of hot air ghetto back talk.She’s tired and people are really noticing it because of the breath of interesting light fresh air rihanna is and Jayze the hustler and oppurtunist he is is probably seeing that now too.She’s just country bumpkin strugglin with the english language bootyshakin attitudy convulsin actin loud only performin for men on the stage and in her videos all the time and its just empty and boring.Her voice is loud and annoying and rihannas is pleasant.I cant wait for her to just go home and have the kids them hips are screaming for and take her ignorant no doofy style having sister solange with her!

what!what!what!

Damn lolita, tell us how you really feel. lol. The beyonce glasses are ridiculous although rihanna’s isn’t really that much better. I guess they both figured we’ve seen it all so they had to step up their game to see who could be the most outrageous? In this case, I will have to say Beyonce’s is the most outrageous. I hope she don’t trip and stab an eye out with those daggers hangin a half inch from her eye!lol. But in that case she can borrow rihanna’s eye patch.

sequoia

i personally think that a persons style is jus that they’re style it defines them not you. And as long as they’re names are in your mouth they’re job is well done. I hope to be the same one day!

Stephen

Is there anything btwn rihanna and Jay-z. Because we should expect competition all d time.
But on what purpose?

BKYW

Beyonce’s eye wear is definitely high fashion.To Lyn give me a freakin break Rihanna will never be more talented than Beyonce. Bee is the queen and will always remain that.

BKYW

Rihanna sucks Beyonce is the best, the eyewear is definitely high fashion and it’s for a video!

pitsy

beyonce rocks ma wrld more than rihanna

SW

wow Rhianna totally has to do something about that hair. i thought it was Prince. her eye patch is stupid but at least she can still see. they both look like dingbats.

Aruna bangura

Beyonce wears the most…

Kathryn

Obviously Beyonce’s shades are satirical, as it explains in the caption of the photo: they are for a video shoot for a song named “Diva”! It is intended to be ironic!… as for Rihanna, I don’t even know what to think about her outfits and hair cuts sometimes, but as for stage costumes, I think anything goes.

Lis

Yes that’s what I want, jagged mettal hanging around my eyes. The two of them look stupid.

Not getting it

??? alrighty then……

LUCY

THEY BOTH NEED TO LOSE THE GLASSES!

THEY BOTH NEED TO LOSE THE GLASSES

Definitely Beyonce. She is losing her charm. Her album didn’t spark, and she is letting these new artists pass her up. First Rihanna. Now Shontelle. Poor Beyonce.

Do these chicks even look in the mirror before they step out?

jonnie

When I saw Rihanna, I thought it was Prince. I was so excited for a minute:)

latory

B IS MY GIRL EVERYTHING SHE WEARS SAYS OR DOES IS OVER THE TOP COME ON PEOPLE ITS BEYONCE KNOWELS SHE IS THE MOST VERSITILE WOMAN IN THE INDUSTRY COMON PLEASE RECOGNIZE!!!!!! GO B GO B GO B GO B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

k

I know this post is about whose eyewear is the most outrageous so I will have to go with Beyonce’s. I want to start off by saying that both of them are annoying, both of them have hot bodies(Rihanna’s is better) but Rihanna has a butta face. She looks like a Carribean monkey, her eyes are nice but that six head is out of this world. Rihanna was hiphop but now she’s a poser to punk-rock dressing and poser to trying new music genres. If you can’t do it, stick to what you know best. Beyonce has a natural beauty but should stick to a natural hair color. Her voice is amazing, she can dance alot better than Rihanna and is alot more versatile.

Meeka

Beyonce didn’t look in the mirror and Rhianna looks like Prince…can you say “People Rain, Purple Rain!!!”

boby

I think they bouth are absolutly not’s they compt
like too fools, but i think Rihana is more original, i find Beyonce imatating her now.and she got the more proper look,

Elda

Rihanna can get away with anything, she is so beautiful but Beyonce, never mind!! the girl is a hasbeen!!

dee

beyouce looks like she is trying to hard rhianna has more of a edge to her so that fits her for a performance only.

shakedra

I love rihanna so much her style is so amazing an cute. She has a style that no one else has. Step off beyonce.

Starr

These pretty singers don’t need to over do it.. Less is more.. Remember that..much luv..ur fan..

fas

Ithink rihanna looks very hot with it,she is naturally beautiful and she does not wear no weaves in her hair and i love that style.

lazy

beyonce looks straight up silly… a fool… whats the point? rihanna is pullin off a slick rick! not many can do it!

the champ

The thruth is that “it is what it is”. If you going to wear something different you should also be able to make it look good on yourself not look ridiculous. Rihanna’s look is bad and sexy “you go girl”, and for Beyonce “your doing a little too much”.

My vote is for Rihanna, because she has continuously convinced me this year that she is a male and not a female.

Jessica

They look ridiculous…and that is NOT a good thing! Both looks are extremely unattractive.
