Who wore it best? Cheryl Vs. Beyonce
By Lucy Hutchings on Friday 6 November 2009
It's been a good week for Brit designer David Koma!
First, his metal-piped black dress was the talk of the weekend, dividing opinions left, right and centre as Cheryl Cole hit Saturday night's X Factor in the daring design.
Teamed with over-the-knee boots, Mrs C's choice was a far cry from her favoured floor-skimming gowns, and quickly prompted a barrage of debate.
But a certain A-lister was clearly impressed, and last night at the MTV Europe Music Awards, none other than Beyoncé Knowles chose one of Koma's dresses to collect a coveted gong.
A slight variation on Cheryl's, the custom-made design did not feature the choker neckline, but had the same rings of metal tubes, and structural form-enhancing cut.
Giving the designer's signature style her own distinct spin, the superstar left her famous mane curly and loose, and added a slick of ruby red lipstick. In comparison, Cheryl opted for a chic updo, glowing natural make-up and hoop earrings.

OK, so they might be slightly different dresses, but it scrapes in as a style snap in our books! Who do you think worked Koma's dress best? Let us know your verdict in the comments box below.

Definetly Beyonce
Comment by Jaclyn on November 06 10:46
Beyonce rocked it.
Better style of dress and she always looks great!
Comment by T on November 06 10:54
BEYONCE ITS NO COMPETION
Comment by J on November 06 11:10
I'm surprised to say Beyonce - she's got a bit more curve to fill it out!
Comment by Harpreet on November 06 11:42
Cheryl looked awful Beyonce looked amazing and has an amazing figure!
Comment by Naomi on November 06 11:43
cheryl could wear a dustbin liner and still look fantastic
Comment by denise williams on November 06 11:45
I think Beyonce's the one with the fashion X Factor here! Not sure about the high neck on Cheryl, but B's red lips pout is gorgeous!
Comment by Lucy on November 06 11:45
Beyonce definitely suits the dress better, she kept it simple and chic. Cheryl had too much going on with the hoop earrings, and black stockings, it looked a bit trashy. Cheryl is usually styled well, but this time Beyonce hits it on the head!
Comment by Gugs on November 06 11:46
Beyonce's figure is much better suited to this look....her shape fills the dress in all the right places, unlike Cheryl.
Comment by Claire on November 06 11:47
Beyonce with no doubt - Cheryl look ridiculous.
Comment by Sue on November 06 11:48
i have to say beyonce....having watch cheryl arrive on the xfactor wearing that little number, i did wince a bit...great idea but it is most definately a fuller figure dress. it doesn't do anything for cheryl's...um....chest! its the only thing i've ever seen her in where she doesn't look fabulous...
Comment by doon on November 06 11:48
Most definitely Beyonce - Cheryl looks bloody awful in hers!
Comment by Rachel on November 06 11:49
Beyonce fills it like a grown woman should, whereas Cheryl's '10 year old girl' figure does nothing for the dress - the dress wears Cheryl, Beyonce wears the dress.
Comment by pagey on November 06 11:49
I love cheryl but I have to say beyonce rocked this dress more!!
Comment by Lynn on November 06 11:50
Beyonce suits the look a lot better as she has the natural curves to echo the curves of the structure.
Comment by Meg on November 06 11:51
No contest definitely Beyonce, I thought Cheryl looked very uncomfortable and awkward.
Comment by Pam on November 06 11:51
I agree Beyonce had a better style of dress, even though Cheryl always looks great too.
Comment by Gem on November 06 11:52
I love cheryl and think she doe have great style but Beyonce has the womanly curves need to pull this number off!! She looks gorgeous as usual!! xxx
Comment by Jade on November 06 11:52
BEYONCE!!!
Comment by Nicola on November 06 11:54
Beyonce every time, she can't go wrong in my eyes!
Comment by Hezza on November 06 11:54
Beyonce
Comment by Crystal on November 06 11:57
Beyonce - of course! She always looks 'real', wears extreme fashion with flare and style. You can always still see the woman Beyonce. Cheryl on the other hand seems like a genuinely nice person but wears clothes like a clothes horse; stiff and uncomfortable looking. Her clothes restrict her whilst Beyonce's clothes release her! Big difference.
Comment by cargirl on November 06 11:58
Beyonce all the way - Cheryl didnt wear the dress the dress wore her...
Comment by Jakey Jake on November 06 12:08
I didn't love this dress on Cheryl - it looks best on Beyonce with her fab curves - very sexy! As ever!
Comment by the paris poodle on November 06 12:11
Cheryl looks the best
Comment by alex on November 06 12:13
Sorry Cheryl, but Beyonce definitely wins here! But that's down to me preferring the style of the dress that Beyonce wore, nothing to do with who was wearing it. Just didn't like the neck on Cheryl's or the keyhole cut in the middle. Better luck next time CC!
Comment by Sarah on November 06 12:14
Beyonce without a doubt,,,, you need curves for a dress like this, when i saw Cheryl in this on Saturday I though WHAT has she got on.....
Comment by jacqui on November 06 12:15
i vote for Cheryl- B.looks cheap
Comment by lafemmedujah on November 06 12:22
Beyonce, no contest. Cheryl looked absolutely ridiculous but Beyonce looks gorgeous, the dress she chose is more wearable and her curves do it wonders.
But to be honest if they both stepped out wearing anything matching Beyonce would almost always have the edge.
Comment by Jade on November 06 12:26
definietely Cheryl- looks more sophisticated and stylish
Comment by aaaa on November 06 12:27
Definitely Beyonce. She looks stunning. Cheryl is overrated
Comment by Pippa on November 06 12:28
Beyonce wears her dress whereas the dress is wearing Cheryl!!
Comment by K on November 06 12:30
Beyonce for sure. It fits her curves and fits her better.
Comment by Hollie on November 06 12:31
Its not even the same dress.
cheryl has guts to wear somethin noone else would but prefer the style of dress beyonce wears is much more laid-back.
They both look HOT!!! :)
Comment by amy on November 06 12:42
Those curves show the dres off to it's best . Fantastic Beyonce
Comment by Jane on November 06 12:49
David Koma's latest catwalk collection rocked! He won Vauxhall Fashion Scout's Merit Award
Comment by Martyn on November 06 12:53
And the award goes to...... Well Beyonce "Of Course"!!!
She most definitely has the figure for this dress & I for one would defo buy if she were to model on a cat walk... She's sassy, sexy & fine!!
Miss Cole stick to your split pants hmm
Comment by Sandra frm London on November 06 12:58
Is it me?! They're not wearing the same dress! They're obviously wearing dresses by the same designer with the metal bits at the front, and they're the same length and colour - but apart from that - they're not the same dress!! BTW - Beyonce looks way better - Cheryl looks ridiculous.
Comment by Helga on November 06 13:14
its not even the same dress though? :S
Comment by maria on November 06 13:16
Defintely Beyonce! She's got the body and the style to pull it off impecably! I'm just wondering what kind of shoes was she wearing, since the pic doesn't show them...
Comment by pribm on November 06 13:34
i dont think this dress does much for either of them and is a bit naff.
beyonce's version however gives a little more emphasis to her shape and at least tries to flatter her where as cheryls just looks cheap and makes her look like a skeleton in a way to big frock.
Comment by sylvia on November 06 13:40
beyonce no contest!
Comment by c on November 06 13:42
This definitely suits Beyonce the most!
Comment by Vicky Taylor on November 06 14:04
Beyonce, Cheryl just can't do high fashion like this because she can't let go of the WAG style!
Comment by Carla on November 06 14:12
I don't like it on either of them- absolutely hideous dress.
Comment by Carolina on November 06 15:17
Even though i love Cheryl Cole, Beyonce just has way more curves, which always looks better!! It seems Cheyrl's lost her bust completely :(
Comment by Emma on November 06 15:52
I actually love both these ladies, they seem really lovely people and are very talented. Although, I have to say... I think Cheryl pulls it off a little bit more! Gotta love Bey though. They both look amazing as usual.
Comment by Alex on November 06 16:13
Beyonce, without a doubt. Better hair and make-up too. Not sure if Cheryl actually manages to pull this off...
Comment by annabel on November 06 16:56
The dress seems to actually fit Beyonce! Its just hanging on Cheryl
Comment by bea on November 06 17:04
Definitely Beyonce...she is too hot! And it suits her curves...It just drowns Cheryl's small curves.
Comment by CP on November 06 17:14
definitely cheryl
but beyonce looked lovely too
Comment by emma on November 06 17:17
The dress is not great on either of them. B's red lipstick is fabulous though; and is she toning down the blonde hair? That would be a good thing too.
Comment by Tricia on November 06 17:34
Beyonce could wear a bin bag and look good - unfortunately Cheryl cannot. Beyonce wins by a mile !
Comment by Lesley on November 06 17:57
Beyonce, no contest. She always looks amazing and has a gorgeous figure
Comment by Toni on November 06 18:35
Both ladies are beautiful but the dress is just rubbish. So it looks horrible on both of them!
Comment by Seema McArdle on November 06 18:40
deff beyonce!!!
Comment by Kaela on November 06 19:36
beyonce but cheryls much prettier no competition what so ever
Comment by afzy on November 06 19:36
Beyonce ....it suits her much better and is more her personality.
Cheryl is not curvy enough for this..and it sort of overpowers her tiny physique....the metal bits are too big.
Comment by anon on November 06 21:09
Beyonce all the way. I think this just proved that Cheryl just goes for the designers, but "designers" don't always suit everyone.
Comment by S.M on November 06 21:48
Beyonce, she looks like a real woman with her curves.Not a good dress for very slim cheryl.
Comment by GC on November 07 00:10
A difficult choice, I really don't like this dress. However, I think Beyonce pulls the overall look off better. The choker neckline on Cheryl's looks plain silly and I am not sure about teaming those boots with that dress. I normally really like what Cheryl wears but this was disappointing from her. The red lipstick works well with the dress' metallic elements and her curves fill out the dress and give it a nice shape. Curves wins again !
Comment by Nick on November 07 11:51
I hated the dress when I saw it on Cheryl but it looks completely different on Beyonce! I actually like it! Deffo suits a curvy figure :-)
Comment by Hannah on November 07 13:02
I didn't think this dress would look good on anyone. Cheryl looks awful but Beyonce looks amazing!
Comment by SophieB on November 07 13:27
beyone of course with her curvacios body pulled it of better. Cheryl a bid dissapointment you should try and make a fashion statement not a fashion flop like last seris final that silver dress was HOT! HOT! HOT! ow
Comment by eoindaly2k9 on November 07 13:29
Cheryl just looked trashy cheap and tarty. The boots were not a good look with it either. The girl needs to wear layers until she puts on some weight, far too thin. so much of her clothing choices are very dubious, if she uses a stylist she should be sacked, if she chooses it herself she nees better mates.
Comment by suedeapple on November 07 14:14
I hate these dresses but it looks better on Beyonce
Comment by nik on November 07 15:15
Cheryl looks chavvy with those hoop earrings and thigh high boots. i think it looks much better on Beyonce.
Comment by Lucy Wood on November 07 15:18
This dress is quite possibly the most vile thing I have ever seen!Beyonce's version ws slightly better.The stylists on x factor this year are rubbish!!
Comment by kate on November 07 17:40
Definitely Beyonce, it fits her shape much better
Comment by Alli on November 07 18:49
If I HAD to choose, Beyonce. She can truely get away with anything. Pluse, the red lips and crazy curls complete it perfectly. Her hair looks AMAZING.
However, I think both of the dresses are hideous.
Comment by jessica on November 07 19:56
beyonce the dress suits bey better beautiful bey god bless her
Comment by fatu sankoh on November 07 20:29
Definitely Beyonce the style of the dress looks better and it suits her figure this sort of dress looks good on a fuller body.
I don't like the dress on Cheryl especially the choker neckline.
Comment by Maya on November 08 01:43
Beyonce by a mile - with Cheryl you ask "what on earth is she wearing?", whereas with Beyonce you say "Wow, she looks great, I'd love one of those dresses!"
Comment by LizzieJay on November 08 15:38
beyonce definately, it makes cheryl cole look really flat chested not a good look for at all or any one that is lacking in the boob department
Comment by roopa on November 08 20:31
It has to be Beyonce!!
Comment by nina on November 09 11:09

Comment by ACD on November 18 16:03
Beyonce Of course !!!She looks FIERCE and Cheryl looks well like she needs to eat a good hearty meal so she can fill the dress!!!!
Comment by kam on November 18 18:20
