Fashion FAIL, BeyBey’s Copycat Bikini Costs Her The Right To Rock “VideoPhone”

Beyonce is finally paying the price for her swagger-jacking ways! Apparently a Bulgarian bikini designer decided to sue over a bootleg version of their bikini which BeyBey rocked for the “Video Phone” video and a German judge agreed, ruling that the clip can no longer be distributed in Germany. Pop the hood for the dirty details.

In what has to be one of the more bizarre copyright disputes, the underwear manufacturer Triumph sued Sony because Beyoncé was wearing copyright infringing underwear in her music video “Video Phone”. Seriously.

The design in question by Bulgarian designer Iskren Lozanov is shown on the right, the music video below (the infringement occurs at about 0.50′). This week, the 7th Civil Chamber of the Landgericht Munich upheld an ex parte injunction barring Sony from distributing the “Video Phone” clip in Germany.

Triumph argued Beyoncé was wearing an unauthorized reproduction of the Iskren Lozanov design. Sony countered that both designs were inspired by Picasso, but otherwise, there were few similarities. The slips, in particular, were wholly different. The judge disagreed: the Lozanov design was highly original and enjoyed a wide scope of protection, and was therefore infringed by the underwear worn by Beyoncé.

Sony’s lawyer announced that, after consultation with Beyoncé, he would most likely appeal the decision.

Wow Bey Bey takes an L??? That never happens. Too bad this judgement would never hold up in a U.S. court. We’ll just have to continue suffering through the swagger jacking.

    that’s because America is obviously too dumb to recognize swagger jacking when they see it.

    First !!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Alrighty Then… (Barbara Jordan)

    They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but DAYUM BEY! lol… You can’t just jack no-body’s stuff STITCH FOR STITCH, and not give up no kind of acknowledgement (or bread)… lol…

  • nini

    Sh*t second

  • dayg715

    Sony (and beyonce) needs to cut the BS. they know damn well that is the same bikini.

  • Nia

    Well, it clearly looks like the designer’s bathing suit..soooo, MAYBE her stylist should’ve been more selective.

    SMH..The STANs won’t like this..

  • SASHA FLOP

    ROTFLMFAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • SASHA FLOP

    now let’s see how the beyukmouth stans spin this LMAO….

  • dia

    Imitation is the laziest form of flattery

  • Jenny

    Bey is the ish, and when you’re the ish, everybody and their mama comes for you.

  • Mrs.Darren shellychelle Sharper

    She’s beyonce…in the end, She’s still be great. If yall wanna call out everyone who swagga jacks, we’d be here all day. The only difference between her and everyone else is that she doesn’t get permission to do some of the things she does. I’m sure if she did, they wouldn’t be suing her.

  • Brittany

    Beyonce and her stylist should have known better. Beyonce has millions upon millions of dollars at her disposal to buy the ORIGINAL bikini. But wealthy people are notoriously stingy and DO NOT like to pay for anything, eventhough they can afford to.

  • LadyInChucks

    AWWW ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BEYONCE HATER. whats new??? and THE BIKKINI looks ALMOST THE SAME..BUT THANK GOD…ALMOST DOESNT COUNT.

    Im sayin like if your gonna jock something Or someone MAKE IT BETTER HOTTER AND MORE ORIGINAL. JUST LIKE BEYONCE DID…AND RIHANNA….LMAO…SO SOLANGE WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT???? LMAO

  • chaka1

    She needs to fire her stylist.

  • Dear God

    As long as you change the design a little bit you can’t sue. And it’s one clip in GERMANY, not America. GTFOH

  • real black is chocolate f’ck fake azz bullsh’t!!!! real nikka aka Gmen

    pls more bullsh’t

  • Carry on

    Remember in that VEGAS clip…Beyonce said ITS ALL ME…ITS ALL ME…

    YEah we know, its all you stealing peoples ish.

  • Angel

    I guess someone is getting fired.

  • Marco

    Her evil ass. All the people programmed by these artists need to wake up. Satan is working on you.

  • AaBbCc

    oh please…I bet we know more about Beyonce’s various lawsuits than Beyonce does. She doesn’t care about this shit, that’s why she keeps doing it…because they keep her in a little bubble. Must be nice.

  • flawda

    lol can you say frivalous lawsuit

  • Mince Meat

    What do you all mean her ‘designer’ she has said over and over again she does EVERYTHING, the similarities are uncanny she copied it, dang you all are dumb.

  • B’Yata

  • Mince Meat

    @Flawda..couldn’t be that frivolous and injunction was issued.

    THis chick is a fraud.

  • Mince Meat

    If it were frivolous the lawyer filing it would have been fined, get your cover up attempt straight….

    SHE IS A THIEF.

  • Asia

    hahahahahahahahahahaha……^^^^^^…i would have jus not worn any underwear if i knew i was copying. lol j/k. but did yall c that pic of her new baby brotha..

  • Mince Meat

    She needs to stop stealing from people and then it wouldnt be nothing to talk about.

    Cant be mad at the ARTISTS demanding justice, be mad at the theif and tell the thief to leave their ish alone DAMN.

  • GETUROWN!!

    Clearly jacked!!

  • http://bossip mosley

    I don’t know who came out with their transformation first but if you go back and look at Christina Aguleria how ever you spell her name. Beyonce jacked her style or either vice verse. Every one keep talking about who Bey jacked. Check out CA documentary and tell me what you think. CA come out the same way Beyonce came out with Jay-Z in crazy in love. CA switched her style up and it looks the same. I can’t lie tho I don’t know who changed up first. If you look at CA you will deff see Sasha Fierce or vice verse

  • Rihanna’s sharp n witchy fingernails took the oath

    looks better on the model, anyway…

  • http://perryone779@yahoo,com a rose by any other name # 9304026339482056536 ™

    @JUDY~~~~ right who cares, they all swagger jack.. who cares!! I wonder where GLOk is i have to tell him something that happened on here!!!

  • Mince Meat

    Her stans are still going to eat her doo doo so it doesn’t matter to them if she kills their own mother, they will defend her, they have been brainwashed and it shows.

    Wrong=Wrong. This applies to all including Beyonce.

    It is WRONG to take credit for SOMEONE ELSES HARD WORK.

  • ChellBellz

    I mean did Beyonce Sew the damn bathing suit? You know how many people copy shit? The laws for copyrighting an outfit are really broad. Gimme me a break.

  • Writer of Wrongs

    WTF!? I can’t believe people are in here trying to defend this trickery. If you were an artist would you like it if “the very famous” Beyonce ripped off your original design and claimed as her own? Wouldn’t you at LEAST want her to give you some kind of credit or have discussed it with you ? I mean dang. Just because she is rich and famous doesn’t mean she should be allowed to steal, swagger jack and copyright real, true ARTIST. If you are a “creator” of any kind you would have sued her as well for her just up and diboing your ishh with out persmission! So ya’ll Beyonce stans need to get a grip on reality, right quick.

    xox Tatum

  • Writer of Wrongs

    She didn’t even try to cover up the fact she swagger jacked it either. I mean the similarities between the pictures are STRIKING!

  • http://bossip.com honest opinion

    lol as long she keeps making good music, i could care less smh. I thought the bathing suit was UGLY anyway

  • Snow Princess

    And everyone does it does not make it right.

    She is the Queen of Lawsuits, dang.

    No real icon has had this many lawsuits, none of them, she is a fake, fraud and WANNABE that will NEVER BE….she has Raked up too many lawsuits to ever have credibility as a REAL ARTIST.

    Gaga is the only real ARTIST so far, and some underground people that don’t get no shine cause Pimp daddy cloggs the airwaves with this fraud…Santogold, Janae Monae etc..

    Can this lacefront wearing trick sit down and stop stealing for a year? Dang.

  • bored

    Come on! the one Beyonce is wearing looks way better than the one on the other chick and y’all know it. Similarities yes, but jacking no, the other one is ugly at least Beyonce’s looks like something.. They should jack Beyonce instead of making a big fuss over it. I love how people always want to throw shade on B but she keeps on moving and making that bread and with talent I might add.

  • Snow Princess

    YOu mean stealing good music and/or lying that she had a hand in writing good music, don’t think you have anything to worry about she will continue doing that.

  • http://bossip.com honest opinion

    she may be a swagger jacker, but at the end of the day, a good entertainer i give her that much

  • Snow Princess

    Noone said she wasn’t a good entertainer, she is…she is not an ARTIST..meaning a creator, she takes others ideas and entertains us with others ideas…nothing wrong with that, she needs to stop lying and trying to be something that she clearly is not.
    Designer, songwriter, producer, stylist etcc…all of which she tries to CLAIM she is.

  • bahamas/chicago/cayman girl

    Can’t be distributed in Germany, bid deal, there’s still the US and every other country other that Germany, not a huge loss at all!

  • Snow Princess

    There are plenty entertainers, impersonators in this world and her camp knows it, that is why they LIE and try to make her what she is NOT.

    She is NO MJ…he had his OWN ideas, same for Madonna, same for Janet Jackson…she is a COPYCAT and her lawsuits PROVE it.

    Has any other so called ‘icon’ been sued as much? Do tell.

  • keepin it 2 real

    They should only be so lucky to have Bey wear that costume. She looked waay better than the model rocking it on the runway! And I bet it got way more attention with her modeling. Team B all the way!

  • Yummy Yummy Bunny!!! Sugar and Stars make the world go round :)

    Regardless, Germany is a big market….

    and the fall out will resonate throughout the European Union

    She will continually have to deal with this issue anytime she is in Europe and she is interviewed.

    Nobody is hating on Bey’s game, because the woman works hard. But she needs to be better educated.

    Intellectual Property is a serious issue and Beyonce is learning the hard way.

    Jay Z is the first to moan and complain about the Chinese jacking his stuff. This situation with the wife is no different.

  • Snow Princess

    @keeping it 2 real.
    They obviously don’t feel that way, so your comments make no sense as most stan comments btw (not hating on fans just the rabid low IQ stans)

  • bahamas/chicago/cayman girl

    @ Snow Princess

    If you in anyway contribute to the writing of a song, designing of anything you have the right to assume credit for the work, no matter how miniscule the contribution. The only reason people sue stars like Beyonce is because she is making money and they are following the money train, will they win in a way that will harm her, probably not!

    Amazingly enough, with all the hatin people throw at this chick, she still makin it rain all day long!

  • Snow Princess

    Is she really?

    And the only reason why they are suing is because she is INFRINGING ON THEIR PROPERTY RIGHTS…which is a CRIME protected by LAW.

  • Snow Princess

    Im outta here, the stans will always be stans and those with a brain are not even surprised, the word has been out on the so called artist Beyonce, who thinks she can talk her way to ICON status.

    Again, how many lawsuits is this now? They could do a whole article (which one day they will) about all this mishaps that REAL greats never seem to get caught up in. Queen Bey alright, Queen of Jacking, LYING, THEIVING, WEAVING and GYRATING.

  • Yeah Right

    Beyonce’s version of the suit looks better to me!

  • Tiffany Drake

    It’s the stylist’s fault, not Beyonce’s fault.

    You all can’t really expect Beyonce to know everything about every piece of clothing her stylist gives her.

    Dang. 1000′s of people wear Timbs, now if she goes and wears them she is swagger jacking.

    Leave this girl alone.

  • Yeah Right

    People looking for money that’s all!

  • LMAO

    Nah its the same swimsuit the only difference is that Beyawnce added her own Satanic Symbolism.

  • Keep believing the hype

    No..people looking to PROTEC THEIR PROPERTY..don’t get it twisted.

    And Beyonce said she does all her styling,try again.

  • yeah I said it

    this B-I-A-T-C-H- is always stealing somebodys shyyyt. She’s a carbon copy of every singer that’s been out all jumbled together like gumbo and shyyt out for our enjoyment. I’m so tired of this over bleached, overly padded, dried up weave wearing skank. Calling herself an ICOM.
    I idiot
    C copying
    O off
    N ni**az

  • Keep believing the hype

    The issue is why can’t this girl leave peoples ish alone, noone is messing with her, she is messing with their ish…do you all have brain cells?

  • Keep believing the hype

    Julie mango you make no sense, must be a stan.

    The designer filed the lawsuit so obviously she is not glad that skankeyonce stole her ISH.

  • Keep believing the hype

    Solange, your sister is a lowlife copycat..twitter that.
    And your dad is a ____________.
    And your mama never gave you the time of day.

  • Dana

    I’m confused….doesn’t this happen all the time? Aren’t most outfits slightly altered versions of original designer creations???? That would mean Vera Wang can sue Macy’s; Uggs can sue Sketchers, and Louis Vuitton can sue Dooney and Burke.
    I’m not a big Beyonce fan, and I admit, she could have afforded the original, but the designer is only doing this because Beyonce is super-famous.

  • sexysha

    Good for her she forever copying something or someone.Swagger jacking hoe!

  • Keep believing the hype

    Let me go, the paid bloggers will be here in full force in a sec. They are having a meeting about how to attack the truth.

    There will be bloggers
    -calling people ugly and broke
    -saying people are jealous
    -saying leave the CRIMINAL alone
    -saying the designer should be happy

    ALL NONSENSE to cover the fact that Beyonce LIES and JACKS yet AGAIN.

  • Keep believing the hype

    The designer is doing this as it is her work and she just like so many others are not going to let their work just be STOLEN like that, even if it is by Beyonce.
    bye

  • Ne Ne aka iB@S

    well bey its time for a new team…cause clearly the team u got now do not have your back…they are some haters…who just want to see you fail…

    they know beyonce dont know anything about fashion…and they knew this wasnt an original bikini..haters

  • DaJournalist

    She got the industry in America on lock. She can bite and steal from anyone here, because they’ll be so afraid of sponsors hatin’ on them, they wont say isht. But Germany is a whole ‘notha story.

  • Keep believing the hype

    Nice try paid blog team, your responses FAIL, just like Bey’s originality, FAIL.

    She is as dumb as a rock and my bad, a rock is probably smarter.

    Its not hate to call someone out on their THIEVING, and all yall hollering STYLIST, didn’t BEYLIAR say she DID everything, either way she is a liar. Dummy.

  • Kenny

    This is the reason why Beyonce cant take a break, she needs to make as much money as she can to pay off lawsuits and other areas that make her look bad. The Knowles are liars and in the words of Judge Milian, “I wouldnt believe you if your tongue came notarized”

  • Jazmine

    That da** Beyonce!!! Hahahaha! Anything she sees and likes she’s taking it! F asking for it. Yall didn’t know Beyonce is a THUG! Why pay for it when you can just steal it? Isn’t that right B???? HAHAHAHA!

  • :-)

    She should have talked to her damn Sister, Since Miss Solange is on a trip about swagger jacking.

  • stuff-n-such

    Bey bey didn’t know where that bikini came from. she just puts on what they tell her to wear

  • seriously?

    actually it would hold up in a u.s. court. several years back forever 21 was sued buy a few designers for copyright infringement. if someone really wanted to they could

  • High Price

    And you beytards, its not about who looked better in it!! It is who was LEGALLY AUTHORIZED to wear it, and BEY BEY was not!

    Damn yall dumb.

  • pu-nah-ny gangsta

    a country azz thief

  • High Price

    Again, this is not who rocked it better edition.

    This is who STOLE it and WORE it without permission edition.

    Get it now?

  • STFU all of you .

    Did Beyonce make the damn dress? So how can she be sued? Whoever made it will be sued, not her for wearing it. Learn something about law before you write paragraphs about how much you hate her. She’s not going anywhere. Yall aint nothing but bitter unattractive bald head hoes wishing you could have a career like hers wishing you had a body and a life like hers. Go to work for your minimum wage hoes! LMAO.

  • http://bossip.com too cute

    she’s not original anyway,but everyone copies something,who cares

  • UrHeinessDaQueen

    damn Bey’s been getting hit left & right with these lawsuits as if lately huh? lol
    Then again she does love to swagger jack despite the fact that she’s talented

  • Arizona

    @ 6 Grammys

    And your one of the stans with the low I.Q. based on your comment…SMDH

  • kay

    Bey did not swaggerjacks. It is obvious that her picasso is different. In order to swagger jack it must be the very same design. Bey should appeal.

  • whoa

    CTFU @ the stans trying to defend this coochie poppin tramp. When it comes to creativity the girl is wacked..just look at the house of dereon…GARBAGE!..Whether it’s music or clothes this b**tch will jack anybody!

  • BleuSavoy

    wow! they do look somewhat similar … but i think that bey’s version looks better …

  • KD

    Oh Shut Up! Who cares? Madonna has been stealing other folks ish for years (songs, poses, etc), and she’s a bonafide icon. I suggest some of you do some research. She’s been sued so many times for copyright infringement it’s not even funny. If she can get away with “swaggerjacking” her entire career, sell millions of records, and still outgross anybody on tour, I don’t see why Beyonce can’t do the same.

  • http://bossip.com/216589/rumor-control-singer-olivias-mystery-man-revealed/ Soya

    Like someone said, swagger jacking? we could be here all friggeng year and start with white people who swagger jack the black music and made kings and queens out the wack azzez like Elvis and others. Didn’t the Beatles had to pay the black man millions for ripping off his song? But Bey girl you gotta be more careful ma.

  • tmf

    The assumption that the ruling in Germany will not hold up in the US is bullshit. Remember the Kissing You fiasco? Filed in the UK and upheld. Anyone can see that she copied this design. Beyonce, Rhianna, Jennnifer Lopez, Puffy…list goes on. Call out any white counterparts you like, Madonna, Elvis….Black folks need to do your homework. Gotta pay to play.

    If she can pay Thierry Mugler, then pay this designer you ripped off too.

  • Riiiiiggghhhtt…

    ROFL!! You’d have to blind as hell to not acknowledge the swagger-jacking here. SMDH @ the stans.

    Don’t think the Germany case is a big deal, won’t hurt her at all. And I do think the skanky copy is better than the skanky original.

  • KD

    ^^Cosign @tmf. They all do it, so there is really no point of calling out one person. It definitely won’t make or break any of their careers. Artists (i.e. Madonna) have been doing it for years. Pay the designer and move on Bey.

  • Ree

    She might wanna settle this and keep it moving. Swagger jacking is everywhere, but at least step up to the plate when you’ve been busted, Bey…

  • Kay

    You can’tstill what been around for decades. If any of you world class morons knew anything about fashion you know that it repeats itself so you can’t jack anything. The only thing that makes that piece of shyt an original is the fact that he created it.The concept behind it is not not anything new.You can’t jack a concept. There have been dozens of swimsuites and bodysuites designed in such a style over the years. He should be flattered that Bey would even consider imitating such a horrendous monstrosity

  • FOLLOW ME @ BADDB3AUTYN3LLZ

  • High Price

    Matty just can’t stay away from that chocolate pudding!

    Kelly you betta go get paid too.

  • IT AIN’T ABOUT HATIN

    Beyonce or whomever worked for her on that outfit copied that design for sure. It’s a copycat. She would have lost in the U.S. courts as well. It’s not frivolous, it’s protecting your designs and keeping people from making knock-offs while your designs still have earning potential. She’s not God so she can take a loss or two.

  • James

    I swear when you’re black with money. It’s more money, more problems. Some of you’re wrong they came after MJ and Mariah with a bunch of lawsuits about copyright infringement also. MJ got ruled against in one of his songwriting cases and lost initially. But then he appealed and it got overturned. Mariah just settled a bunch of her cases because she didn’t think it was worth spending the money to go over court over. That’s what some of these people bank on. They want the publicity and they know these celebrities don’t want to spend the time and money fighting all these cases. Those swimsuits look different enough to me and I see stuff that look similar all the time.

  • Myra

    Both designs are based on Picasso, so maybe Picasso’s estate need to sue the Bulgarian designer for copyright infringement. I hope Beyonce’s lawyers do appeal.

  • Myra

    I don’t know why P.icasso is being block on here. But both designs are based on his artwork.

  • Myra

    That’s why some of you were saying that it looked similar to something you had saw before because it’s based on Picas.so’s artwork.

  • http://bossip jones

    ROTF @ THE LAST 30 BEY COMMENTS CAME FROM THE SAME PERSON. ” THE PAID BLOGGER” I’M LYING I MYSELF KNOW THE BEYSTANS WILL GO HARD X10 FOR FREE. MY FIRT LINE STANDS !

  • KNOW ART

    That is not an exact Picas.so. It’s based off a form of art called “cubism” well, more “pseudocubism”, that was pioneered by Picas.so and another artist. There are various forms of art based expressions like impressionism, neo-impressionism, post-impressionism, surrealism, fauvism, etc.

    To actually say that Beyonce or one of her team members created her outfit as an original would be a huuuuuuuge stretch since she copied right down to the bangle bracelets, the shades, hell…even the hairstyle (the hairstyle doesn’t count though). Really? Her outfit is original? *sigh* Think people! This isn’t the first, second, third, fourth, or fifth time she’s copied or “borrowed” someone else’s swag. Ciara came out with her vid and 3 days later she was taping her vid with the same dances. She actually at one point started copying Rihanna at one point and she ran off in that direction that Rihanna was in and passed her up on that path. Beyonce took or “put her name” on other people’s songs and said she wrote them. Really. That song “If I Was A Boy” was word for word this other white female guitarist song. But Beyonce claimed she wrote it. The girl said she didn’t know that they were going to take her song at the Sony company because Sony does what they do best, make people believe what they want to believe, that Beyonce or other artists probably wrote their own songs while ripping of naive artists submitting demos to get into the industry.

  • BEYOND FAKE AKA BEYONCE IS A PHONY

    BEYONCE IS A FRAUD.

    BEYONCE FANS ARE DUMMIES

    MUSIC NOWADAYS IS GARBAGE

    WHAT’S NEW UNDER THE SUN?

  • MICHAEL JACKSON IS THE OFFICIAL KING OF MUSIC.

    BEYAKI WILL NEVER BE A LEGEND.

    MONEY DOES NOT EQUAL TALENT, CREATIVITY OR ARTISTRY THING THAT BEYAKI SEVERLY LACKS.

  • Beyonce is a devil worshipper

    She has no talent, no class, no morals, no originality and no dignity can you say pathetic much. This ghetto plastic mannequin disgust me.

  • Say What?!

    I just read some of the comments.

    I can’t believe the miles the beyonce stans will go to defend her!

    I BET YOU IF RIHANNA HAD THE SAME THING BEYONCE WORE, YA’LL WILL CALL HER OUT DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL,

    but it’s hard for ya’ll to give the damn designer credit! Just face it, yes she copied, but he didn’t ask for money, just justice! what did he do wrong?

  • Heather

    Beyonce has her hair in a braid. The other girl has a loose ponytail. The only people that got a right to be mad is the P/i/c/a/s/s/o estate. People get ruled against initially it doesn’t mean that has to be the final decision.

  • Brenda

    The Rihanna stans on here didn’t have anything to say about Rihanna’s AMA white,slitted outfit looking very similar to a Grace Jones outfit. Maybe the designer needed to sue Rihanna for wearing that outfit. When you’ve real money that’s when people try to come after you. I think that it’s hypocritical that people try to act like all fashion isn’t just variations on the same thing. Beyonce didn’t make the swimsuit she just wore it. You see they can’t go after her for designing it.

  • BEYONCE COULD NOT HOLD A CONVERSATION WITH TICKLE ME ELMO

    THIS TRICK IS DUMB AND SHE REMINDS ME OF A BLEACHED BLOND MONKEY WITH A GALLON OF MAKE-UP AND A POUND OF WEAVE.

    LMFAO!! ABOUT TIME, WHAT ARE HER STANS GONNA DO NOW, SAY SHE DID IT FIRST ANYWAY?

    I’ve seen that Picasso print in several things. It’s just like Andy Warhol screenprints. They’re used by everyone. Beyonce should appeal because all fashion has similarities and this is just a bull*hit case.

  • Vicky

    They know they can’t get any money from Beyonce. She didn’t design the outfit. Secondly, I could go across the board and point out stuff that look similar to one another in all fashion lines. Only thing they trying to do is really get some free publicity for their line. Mariah and Madonna got plenty of copyright infringement suits against them. It happens when you are an ultrasuccessful female. The sh*t happen to Lauryn Hill, too.

    I like Beyonce’s better… the other one has entirely too much going on!!!

  • William

    So when I go into JCrew and the Gap, and I see sweaters that look almost alike. One of the companies need to sue for copyright infringement. Just going after a black person with money as usual.

  • Ursula

    Beyonce’s lawyers will win on appeal because it’s dramatic differences between the two suits, it’s only so many ways to make anything and they’re both based on Picasso’s work. How the lingerie company going to claim intellectual property on Picasso’s work as their own.

    My bad. Why did she have to jack the ponytail as well. Beyonce’s stylist took the whole damn look.

  • Ursula

    Beyonce’s hair is different. She got a ponytail braid. The girl has a ponytail. Omg, don’t tell me we’re going to start copyrighting hairstyles now.

  • Ursula

    One more thing, when people are dressed up to look like Marilyn Monroe or Audrey Hepburn why can’t their estates sue? People are emulating their image. That’s another reason this lawsuit is bogus. People can’t really copyright looks.

  • Yvonne

    Those suits look a lot different. They can’t get any money from Beyonce because they know she didn’t design it. People just be suing people to get free advertisment. I hope she do appeal it.

  • High Price

    Beyonce never appeals she just SETTLES as she knows she is a thief.

  • Rodney

    This article is stupid,B only wore the outfit she didn’t steal the outfit. And the designer is suing sony not beyonce.. Thats why i can’t stand the media!!!

  • AMERIE ALBUM IN LOVE AND WAR IN STORES NOW

    Kendra, Vicky, Ursula, Rodney, Yvonne, Rodney and Cookie B. are all the same person.

    Beyond Fake stans are pathethic

  • CQ

    Um I think the bathing suits are very different in many ways the only thing’s that are the same are the bracelets and the glasses! I actually think beyonce’s bathin suit is way better!

  • Wintz
