Its an age old question, which style is better: trendy or timeless ? Edgy or classic? Rihanna’s or Beyonce’s?

The Daily News recently highlighted a similar debate taking place on the lifestyle website Lemondrop.com. When asked whether Anne Hathaway’s delicate, classic look is more preferable than Rihanna’s sultry rocker chic aesthetic, 15,000 women answered to the tune of Hathaway.

A more relevant comparison would be between super-mega-star Beyonce, who also rocks the glamorous look that Hathaway is know for, and Rihanna.

So, if you had to choose which style would it be? Rihanna the bad girl, or Beyonce the perfect princess?

The article also raised a few other interesting fashion related questions, such as “what would you give up for an unlimited fashion budget?” According to Lemon Drop:

“Some 55% said chocolate and sweets could go for clothes; 23% would forget about television; 17% could do without sex and the rest (5%) would ditch their best pal.”

Shame on any of you who would ditch your bff for a lifetime supply of Gucci bags (although when you think about it, it doesn’t seem all that bad of a deal, does it?). What would you give up in the name of fashion?

Finally, when asked which retailer was favored among the women taking the poll, the answers were quite surprising. As the article stated:

The Devil may wear Prada but most women prefer Target.”

Apparently, not everyone is obsessed with the four B’s of retail bliss, Barney’s, Bendel, Bergdorf or Bloomingdales. Nope. Instead 39% opted for Target, and 24% favored TJ Maxx, followed by Marshall’s which came in at a close third pace. Well, it is a recession. Where do you ladies shop?

To read the article go here. And feel free to share your own answers to these interesting fashion questions. Pop the gallery to see Beyonce and Rihanna in a style showdown.

    both dress very well, and their styles can’t be duplicated. but rhi rhi has a style that most girls under the age of 25 can identify with while bey on the other hand dresses like a woman, something women over 25 can relate to. i mean i look at rhi rhi and think yeah that’s hot or cute but i wouldnt try to find a similar outfit, but when i look at bey, im like that’s nice, especially with me havin curves like i do, i feel that some things i could wear myself. maybe age could play a role in this one.. cause i can’t see a 35 year old woman walkin around dressed like rhi rhi, doesnt seem right even if she has the body for it.. but my 2 cents dont mean s**t cause i see mothers and daughters dressed alike all the time. and im talking grown ass women with teenage girls.

    ummm…rihanna was clearly a reggae singer and was told to change her image …and still cant dress …and beyonce cannot dress unless its once in a while …

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EclectiqueMami/ EclectiqueMami

    I’ll side w/Bey on this one..she can embody glamour/sexiness/class at any given day…rhianna on the other hand…most times I look at her like wtf told her to leave the house wearing that?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/PrIncesslenice/ PrIncesslenice

    RIHANNA all the way

    Rihanna gets my vote. She always stands out. Bey blends in… Bad girl gets my vote!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ORANGERESIDUE/ ORANGERESIDUE

    Plus that simple princess look is played out!!

    As a 38 yr old woman with a lot of style and class, i would have to go with Rhi Rhi…why?? b/c Rhi is UNPREDICTABLE! Nothing against Bey but I sometimes get tired of her always showing her ass or popping her cooch in videos and stuff..its gets boring! With Rhi, you really never know WHAT to expect but its ALWAYS HOT!!!!! (nothing against B)

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/bainerj/ bainerj

    I agree with you u tattedup. Beyonce has had some disturbing outfits made by her mama. Rhianna has her on style, but if class, elegance, & grace is what u wanted to compare vs edgy, rocker….Halle Berry should have been up instead of Beyonce. Halle has them all beat.

    rihannas crazy azz lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kismee/ kismee

    i prefer rihanna’s look and style over beyonces any. why because i think rihanna steps outside of the box a little more than beyonce. and rihanna is a lil more edgier than beyaonce. beyonce is more classy and dressy.

    If Tina Turner could strut minis and 3 inch pumps in her debut “Tina Turner” then who can tell someone what age is appropriate to dress like whatever especially if they have the body. Get over it. Looking great is looking great, regardless of age. I am going with Rhi Rhi all day because Rhi can easily wear whatever Beyonce wears but Beyonce wouldn’t look right in all that Rhi Rhi wears.

    IT’S NOT REALLY ABOUT THE CLOTHES,ITS ABOUT WHO LOOKS BETTER N CLOTHES. BEYONCE HAS HERE MOMENTS WHEN SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL AND CLASSY, BUT HAVE HER TIME WHEN SHE PUT ON THOSE UGLY CLOTHES HERE MOM MAKES FOR HER.AMESS! COMPARE TO RIHANNA SHE LOOKS GOOD IN ANYTHING. ANYTHING. SOMEONE FIND ME A PHOTO WERE SHE LOOK A MESS AND I LL B SHOCKED. RIHANNA HANDS DOWN. HOLLA

    B is killing Rhinna, hands down….the girl is bad, rhinna is cute too but not cute as beyonce

    I can appreciate anyone who dares to be DIFFERENT (which involves “risk”) and that is why I can appreciate the style of Keri Hilson, Chrisette Michelle, Fefe Dobson & of course Rhi Rhi. Although I like “some” of the things Bey wears. I have to agree with most of you when you talk about that Fugged up ish that Tina be having her in. I can’t say that I would wear everything that Beyonce wears…although I think she looks in it (sometimes). With that being said Rihanna gets my vote for versatility alone.

    How can any 1 person sit here and compare these two ladies?seriously!First of all beyonce is much more older than Rihanna hit’n towards 30 while Rihanna barely in her 20s.Ladies have a tendency of changing-slight difference from 19/20 in age to 28/29/30.Beyonce seems a little bit more mature and experienced-she is a married lady.Hello!she doesnt dress as revealing out and about as when she is perhaps making a video/performing or as much as she did earlier in her career.B is apparently more curvier and has a more womanly body physic than Rihanna.She has the hips!

    Now as woman,we all are well aware that the intent is to accentuate the curves but not make them noticeably unflattering.Rihanna is slightly taller as well.So how can we possibly compare two body types that proportion differently?And yes body types do sort of indicate what clothing is or is not visually pleasing.

    So to make a long story short-I am personally tired of B @ this point.she is in essence over-rated!Sorry ladies and fellas but Her time has come and gone.It is always good to be open minded to music industry rookies,fresh faces,new styles, different music(thats worth listening to).And right now Rihanna is work’n it.She has the body,the clothing,the money and the style.I am not a big fan of all her music and wouldnt purchase any albums of hers but as far as the style thing goes. Rihanna corresponds well-I always look forward to see what shes walking out with.She sort of fits the phase with the hair & punk attire thing @ the moment.Shes certainly work’n it much more!

    i mean u cant compare these two because the styles are very different. thats like comparing gucci to jay-z (an mc), en vogue to miley cyrus [lol]. I like the classy/sophisticated look beyonce has and then i like the edgy/rock look rihanna has.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/hershey_kiss69/ hershey_kiss69

    I would have to choose Beyonce. Her look will never go out of style. If you ask me it really wasn’t a competition.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Patrick483/ Patrick483

    I don’t care how old Beyonce is from Rihanna, Rihanna has more style…and age has nothing to do with it..let it be something like who has more style between gay ass Lil Wayne and Jay-z it wouldn’t be a problem

    Are you crazy?

    Beyonces WHOLE LIFE is so contrived… how can you even call it ‘style’? Its not Style… its all an ACT. Hence the reason for her alter-ego Sasha Fierce… she herself is essentially saying , what you see on the outside is NOT her.

    Rihanna meanwhile, oozes sensuality and sexuality, to the point where even her at-home private pix… are BLAZING HOT. She looks stylish on her ‘days off’ just shopping.

    Really… who was the idiot who even thought to ask this question?

    Talk about being both BORED AND BLIND!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/xXHunny-BunnyXx/ xXHunny-BunnyXx

    Another testimony to a female performers style is how many Drag-Queens come out the WOODWORK to impersonate you.

    REALLY.. who the f*ck would pay money to see a Beyonce-female impersonater? Its Hit or Miss if you would pay the money to see her personally.

    Yo.. just keeping it real.

    Quick Vocab lesson, kids

    Edgy -means exiciting, new fresh

    in the fashion world

    Classic- means boring, contrived… unadventurous.

    take a clue

    Beyonce is better

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/gapeaches26/ gapeaches26

    In my opinion Rhianna does. I think she is an icon in the making. Rhianna is also in a class by herself, she doesn’t have to try hard and sell herself. She is who she is. Beyonce on the other hand, is all over everywhere endorsing everything. She tries too hard and people tend to tire over her because she’s everywhere; on talk shows, in movies, concerts, public speaking, inaugural balls, make-up commercials. SIT DOWN SOMEWHERE, PLEASE!!!!!!!
