We thought Beyonce’s metal glove was already an over-the-top look, but we spied the singer sporting some pretty wacky sunglasses while filming her lastest video for “Diva” this weekend. Check out that metal fringe! But apparently, out-there eyewear is the newest fashion trend for stars, because Rihanna performed at the American Music Awards this weekend in a bejeweled eyepatch. Now we want your opinion! Tell us: Which star’s eyewear is more outrageous? Rihanna or Beyonce?

Wearing one glove may be a trend that Michael Jackson launched back in the ’80s, but it looks like Beyonce is putting her own twist on the look. Since launching her “Single Ladies” video last month, the R&B star has been wearing the custom-made titanium Lorraine Schwartz mechanical glove on- and off-stage as her alter ego “Sasha Fierce.” Though the glove is a “fierce” on-stage prop, we aren’t sure it translates into red carpet fabulous. USA Today readers agree. More than 700 weighed in and only 4% coined it a “fun new trend”. Now we want to know what PEOPLE.com readers think. Do you like Beyonce’s glove or do you wish she would ditch it? Vote now!

Beyonce Knowles is known for her glamorous wardrobe choice, tending to glittering gowns, curve-hugging minis and elegant creations from Armani for her many red carpet events. Which is why we did a double take when the singer turned up at the MTV Europe Awards in not one, but two dresses from notoriously edgy British designer Gareth Pugh. Beyonce’s stylist Ty Hunter tells PEOPLE, “Gareth Pugh’s work is explosive and she had to wear it. She thinks he is an amazing talent.” The young Brit is a master of dark, almost-goth looks with incredible architectural details. Beyonce’s performance dress, which is made of elastic bands and rows and rows of YKK zippers, first appeared on the designer’s Fall 2008 runway with matching leggings that Knowles wisely skipped. Pugh himself tells PEOPLE, “I’m delighted she wore my dresses, she looked fantastic.” We agree, and we love that Beyonce is supporting up-and-coming young designers while trying out cool, new looks. That metallic robot glove, we’re a little less sure about. Tell us: What do you think of Beyonce’s fashion choice? – reporting by Monique Jessen

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen aren’t the star designers to try their hand at a jewelry line these days. Beyonce and mom Tina Knowles are adding a jewelry line to their already-successful brand House of Dereon. The mother-daughter design team have partnered with jewelry company Carolee, who also produces jewelry for Lauren by Ralph Lauren, ABS by Allen Schwartz and Brooks Brothers, to create a complete collection of jewels consisting of necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings. All the pieces will incorporate various metals, man-made pearls, crystals and more. “I am so passionate about jewelry. As both a designer and a stylist, I know the important role jewelry plays in completing your total look, ” Tina Knowles said in a released statement. What’s better, the line will be completely affordable, with prices ranging from $16- $68. Look for the House of Dereon’s new jewelry collection at major department and specialty stores in Spring 2009. Tell us: Will you wear Beyonce’s jewelry?

Cosmetics company L’Oreal denied that it lightened Beyonce’s skin tone for an ad — after gossip-site tmz.com posted comparison pictures of Knowles promoting Feria looking noticably paler and lighter than usual. “We highly value our relationship with Ms. Knowles. It is categorically untrue that L’Oreal Paris altered Ms. Knowles’ features or skin tone in the campaign for Feria hair color,” the Paris-based company said in a statement to the Associated Press. Knowles’ representative declined further comment — the singer has been a face of L’Oreal since 2001. Tell us: What do you think of the ads? — Caris Davis

The singer turned up for the Grammy Awards with a short and soft do to go with her sparkling Elie Saab couture gown. Beyonce ditched her usual big hair and darker locks for a more natural glow. Her hairstylist Kimberly Kimble tells PEOPLE “It was Debbie Harry meets Beyonce tonight. We wanted to do something different for her performance with Tina Turner, so I gave her an A-line cut, a bit shorter in the back, longer in the front. I kept it darker in the back and framed her face with thicker cool blonde highlights.” We’re hoping that Beyonce keeps this look long past the Grammy Awards — we’re loving it. Tell us: Do you like Beyonce’s new soft look? Should she keep it?
