Beyonce Borrows Heidi Klum's Look For 'People Magazine' 2012 Most Beautiful Issue (PHOTOS)

Beyonce may be the People's most beautiful woman, but she still takes style tips from other stunners. The new mom borrowed a look from Heidi Klum for the new cover of People's 2012 Most Beautiful Issue, as Fashion Fois Gras pointed out... and added her own flare.

On the cover, Beyonce sports the a turquoise and diamond Lorraine Schwartz necklace atop a white Marchesa gown. But you fashion followers will recall that Heidi first wore the Schwartz piece to the 2012 Golden Globes in January along with matching rings. The entire collection carries a $1 million price tag.

Beyonce re-snagged the look at the bequest of Schwartz himself. “Beyonce is the most beautiful woman in the world inside and out,” Schwartz told People. “Being around her gets my creativity flowing and I’m always thinking of that something perfect just for her." The result of that creativity? Flipping the necklace around so the piece was worn backwards, with the majority of the jewels hanging over Bey's (officially gorgeous) shoulder.

Then again, Beyonce often engages in a little "Who Wore It Better" with great success. That red Alice Temperley dress? Worn by someone else. Same goes for a black leather Michael Kors gown worn by Leighton Meester and a Rag & Bone tuxedo jacket worn by none other than Kim Kardashian.

But you know what Beyonce's got that Kim, Leighton and Heidi don't? The title of 2012's Most Beautiful Woman in The World.

Check out the Lorraine Schwartz necklace below and tell us: do you prefer Beyonce's backwards style or Heidi's original look?

You know the list of most beautiful is a real joke when Michelle Obama is on it.

At least she makes the effort to be attractive..
unlike your UNpretty and petty remark..
Beauty almost always rests in the eyes of the beholder
and we can tell you are no beauty yourself..

.....you must not be very attractive.

I agree with the person that said *how can you have a *most beautiful* every year?..... Don't we just put too much emphasis on the physical? Maybe they should have a truly *most beautiful*, if you know what I mean!

I like it backwards but it just wouldn't work in real life.

People's annual list of famous pretty people is completely unimportant. Those of you hyperventilating over Beyonce being named the most beautiful should probably calm down. Many of you are just mad because she's not white.

I've often read that this particular title is bought by the highest bidding publicist. How can the most beautiful person in the world be someone different every year. Who votes? I've never seen a poll recording the numbers.

Are they talking about their plastic noses?

I fail to see how it has really evolved.

Didn't Beyonce used to be black?

[Fortune27]

That was then. This is now and now she is African, Louisiana Creole, French and Irish. And since 'ever'thang is ever'thang' she won't be Black again unless some huge scandal throws her out of favor with the media, i.e. Michael Jackson, Vanessa WIlliams and O.J. Simpson. Or when it's to their advantage to be Black, i.e. Mariah Carey. Celeb have a way of finding their way back to Blackness when that happens. Then they become the blackest person on the planet. Just an observation.

Try again. Most of us are a mash-up of various ethnicities, with one that seems to dominate. At no point has Beyonce ever claimed she isn't black; your negative bias is showing.

someone clearly has no idea of Louisiana creole culture

Not a fan of Beyonce. I think she over sings all the time, and her constant vibrato starts to hurt my ears after while. I can't stand her speaking voice and her acting is mediocre at best. I also don't think she has much personality AT ALL. And I disagree that she is a good role model for young girls because she is almost always half naked, and she tries way too hard to be sexy.

All that being said, I think all of the comments insulting her looks are are ridiculous. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but she is an EXTREMELY attractive woman, and she deserves the cover just as much as any other beautiful woman. Unfortunately, I think a lot of people are very jealous of her because she is super rich, gorgeous and seems to have a "perfect" life. I also think some people don't like her skin. So sad.

i had to go back and read the article again. from what i read i THOUGHT this was about 1) how Beyonce was voted worlds most beautiful woman for PEOPLE mag and 2) how she wore the same piece as Heidi, only differently. people are taking the versus to a different level. they are both beautiful women, so why are we making a big deal about an article discussiong fashion? the person who designed the piece requested that beyonce wear it, and it is just a comparison of the jewlery's positioning. maybe this is asking to much, but there is enough fighting and complaining in the other sections, can we keep the style section light and happy?

As usual, nermz345 spot on...what an ability to cut straight to the chase! faved, my fan.

Its funny how theres a bulk of white people that feel threatened by a black woman having the spot light so much they need to manufacture this BS. This only points to your insecurities.

[Justgo4it]

lol, who is insecure and why are you even on the style page of HP. seems you have a slight problem here Jamar.

Who says a guy can't be on the style page on HP. Sounds like he's not the one with the problem

I am neither a Beyonce or Nicki M fan, but to compare B to N is a complete fail!

[Justgo4it]

12:56 PM on 04/26/2012

that's because they are both so overrated.

[Justgo4it]

01:41 PM on 04/26/2012

I don't fan people who accuse others of something that's not true! so your attempt to make me fan you was also a fail. you're on a roll there kiddo.

the "Most beautiful woman" is a black woman trying to look white?

[heyyouthereyou]

02:51 PM on 04/26/2012

Trying to look white? I am glad you were not around too say that to all the people who looked white who had to sit on the back of the bus and get called an n****r. She is not trying to look white she is not dark skinned. My mother is not dark and does not lood african american and had to sit on the back of the bus and get called an injun n*****r.
