Who Wore it Worse: Beyonce vs. Britney Spears

A celebrity's worst nightmare is discovering she is wearing the same outrageously expensive dress at the same event as another narcissistic star. It's not uncommon for stylists to be fired after their clients are upstaged at an event by a lesser celebrity wearing the same couture frock.

Self-obsessed celebrities such as Beyonce spend half a year's mortgage on a designer dress that they are told no other star owns.

According to sources, Beyonce extracts a promise from designers that any dress she wears is a one-off — or an exclusive. Some designers even promise not to recycle a dress design for many years to minimize red carpet mishaps.

But magazine photo editors have long memories.

Singer Britney Spears turned up at the premiere for Smurfs 2 wearing the same Smurf blue Herve Leger frock that Beyonce wore 5 years ago. How embarrassing for Beyonce?

Now the only question left to ask is, "Who wore it worse?"
