Celebrity fashion followers are surely aware that of late, many stylish ladies have been flaunting their womanly shapes in draped frocks (and loving it).

But can anyone take down Lauren Conrad in a style showdown?

Seriously, she wins every survey we put up. There may be no young celebrity whose fashion is so universally appealing than former star of The Hills.

Let's find out if any of the other ladies below - Kelly Osbourne, Hayden Panettiere or Beyonce - and their varying body types can take her down.

Which star's getup has the most curve appeal? Vote below!

Whose outfit do you like the most?

It was a moment everyone talked about for an entire week and will not soon forget, either. A moment that inspired much wrath and online video parodying.

As Kanye West stormed the stage at the MTV VMAs to declare that Beyonce should have won Best Female Video over Taylor Swift, we were dumbfounded.

So was Beyonce, who is now speaking about it for the first time.

"Well, I knew his intentions, and I knew he was standing up for art; and he told me before, when they said the nominees, he's like, 'You have this award,'" Beyonce, 28, recalled to O: The Oprah magazine editor at large Gayle King.

SIDE NOTE: If he's standing up for art, he's at the wrong award show. They're completely arbitrary! He may be an even bigger jackass than thought.

Beyonce, who was named Woman of the Year at the Billboard Awards over the weekend (Kanye would approve), said it went down like this that night:

"When they didn't call my name, he was, like, completely shocked," Knowles says of West's reaction. "And when he walked on the stage, I was like, 'No, no, no!' and then when he spoke, and I was like, 'Oh, no, no, no!'"

Like her husband Jay-Z, who defended West as passionate, she doesn't condone how that passion translated into potentially hurtful actions that evening.

Knowles, who handed the mic to Swift after winning Video of the Year later that night, added, "But in the end, it ended up being a great night, and Taylor Swift did get her moment, and I didn't have to make an acceptance speech!"

After his outburst, Kanye West apologized multiple times on his blog, to Jay Leno and to Swift, and declared he was taking time away from the public eye to "analyze how I'm gonna make it through the rest of this life and improve."

He's putting his money where his mouth is, at least for now. It was announced last week that his Fame Kills tour with Lady Gaga had been canceled.

Beyonce was at the center of controversy last night - through no fault of her own.

If you missed it, that jackass Kanye West decided to interrupt Taylor Swift at the MTV Video Music Awards, proclaiming that Beyonce was more deserving of Best Female Video after producing THE GREATEST VIDEO OF ALL TIME!!!!!

To her credit, Beyonce was horrified, then reached out to Swift with a classy gesture after the incident. Yeah. Even she thinks Kanye West is a moron.

Moving on to more important things, girl was lookin' flat out FIERCE last night in that red dress. So vibrant. The plunging neckline and the shoes? Wow.

Not to be outdone, her sister Solange showed up and ... well, she was probably outdone. But that black number with the shaved head looked cool.

Who Knowles fashion better? Vote in our poll below!

Who looked better?

Beyonce possesses an impressive movie resume.

She's in the prime of a long-term, successful singing career.

She's married to Jay Z, a well-respected rapper and entrepreneur.

She also turns 28 years old today, an occasion that prompts the question: what do you get the A-list celebrity that has everything?

Perhaps a shirt, for the occasional topless album cover. But, mostly, we think Beyonce would simply appreciate support from her fans. Check out our photo tribute to the superstar below and then send her your birthday wishes today!

Last night's BET Awards were highlighted by emotional tributes to Michael Jackson, as Janet Jackson teared up on stage and Jaime Foxx performed the moonwalk.

Still, it was also a celebrity-filled event, which means fans have been clamoring for a look at various stars on the red carpet.

Beyonce and Tyra Banks didn't disappoint, as each showed up for the ceremony looking her most beautiful. Dressed in contrasting outfits, the celebs stopped and posed for numerous photos.

Here are two of them. Compare and vote below:

Who looked best at the BET Awards?

The ever-changing world of Rihanna fashion knows no boundaries.

Contrasted with some of her recent outfits (and hairstyles), this is pretty vanilla ... at least as much as something can be when you are talking about Rihanna.

She opted to skip pants (no complaints from Drake) to wear this Matthew Williamson jacket as a dress, while Beyoncé paired the leather coat with a pale dress.

So who wins this fashion clash, B or RiRi? Tell us below!

Who wore this better?

It's no Megan Fox photo spread in Elle.

But Beyonce covers the latest issue of Marie Claire and she looks mighty fine doing so.

Inside the magazine, the singer is asked about her hit song “Single Ladies”, revealing that it's meant to empower both men and women:

“More than anything, the song celebrates being single. It’s like, if you’ve been doing all you can and it’s not happening for you, go out and have you a good old time. Put on your sexy dress and move on. I know I’m stronger in the songs than I really am. Sometimes I need to hear it myself. We all need to hear those empowering songs to remind us.”

A Vienna art gallery expressed its disappointment after discovering that a visitor it had believed to be Beyoncé Knowles was in fact a doppelganger.

A local radio station admitted pulling the prank on the Albertina museum, which houses one of the world's largest collections of graphic art.

Erroneous reports first indicated that the music star had sent the double herself for the private tour so that she was free to do some shopping.

The Albertina's director, Klaus-Albert Schröder, was photographed beaming next to the Beyonce imitator and leading her around the exhibition...

Fake Beyonce looks nothing like the real deal!

Recent (actual) celeb visitors to the museum, which is in the heart of Vienna, include Hollywood stars Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage.

"We consider it an absolute cheek," said a museum spokeswoman, Verena Dahlitz. "We had a grain of doubt that it might have been her because she avoided eye contact with the director and she acted a little bit strangely."

The radio station spent the day with the faux Beyonce double "to see how people reacted when they could get up close to her," the station marketing manager said.

"But it wasn't our aim to pull the leg of anyone in particular."

Unlike last year's Jamie Lynn Spears impersonator, who ended up filing a complaint against the city of L.A. after standing in for the teen mom at LAX, we don't imagine this will result in any negative ramifications.

Talk about a body that can stop traffic.

Kim Kardashian flaunts - and loves to talk about - her bootylicious curves at every conceivable opportunity, but Beyonce gives her a run for her money. And is fairly successful and both acting and singing, unlike K-squared.

Case in point? Here's Beyonce looking absolutely f-i-n-e in a tight black dress at last night's premiere of her new movie, Obsessed ...

It's been quite a week for B, who was alleged to suck at singing when a clip surfaced of her screeching voice. Howard Stern even promoted the thing, which turned out to be a big hoax. She's no Jessica Simpson, in other words!

Sorry, Beyonce.

But you aren't actually Sasha Fierce, the alter ego after whom you've named your current tour.

During last night's stop in Vancouver, it was apparent you were channeling Cheetara instead, the cartoon character every first-grade male crushed on in the mid 1980s.
