00:00After decades, Beyoncé is still the blueprint.
00:03Zendaya's Crazy in Love tribute
00:06Zendaya once told E! Online,
00:08"...this Beyoncé, you know, that's like, uh, all you can do is pay tribute."
00:13And that she did. Longtime Beyoncé fan Zendaya paid homage to her idol at the 2021 BET Awards,
00:20wearing an archival Versace look. The purple dress pays homage to the dress Beyoncé wore
00:25to the 2003 BET Awards performing Crazy in Love. While Bey's version was a mini-dress with a
00:31pleated, ultra-high hem, Zendaya's had a flowy, maxi-length skirt with a daring leg slit.
00:37Both versions boast a rich purple hue, lime-green accents, and daring cutouts around the torso.
00:43Z's longtime stylist, Law Roach, dug into the archives from Versace's Spring-Summer 2003 collection.
00:49He showed off the outfit on Instagram, writing,
00:51"...paying homage to Queen Beyoncé wearing Versace SS 2003. Get you a stylist with an archive."
00:58While Beyoncé didn't comment on the moment, her mother, Tina Knowles, wrote on Z's Instagram post,
01:04"...love you in this vintage Versace dress. Beyoncé wore one just like it on her first
01:08solo performance on the BET Awards."
01:10"...she is obviously the queen."
01:13Madison Beer's homage
01:16For the 2021 MTV VMAs, Madison Beer drew inspiration from Beyoncé.
01:21The barely over 20 singer wore an almost 20-year-old dress from Dolce & Gabbana's Spring
01:262003 collection. This exact dress was previously worn by Beyoncé to a taping of The David Letterman
01:32Show in 2003. The extremely rare designer piece, recently sold for $5,995, is composed of panels of
01:40rose-pink silk and leather, with corset detailing throughout. While Beyoncé chose to style her dress
01:46laced up to just above the knee, Madison left hers unlaced to the hip with a pair of metallic-heeled
01:52sandals. But both stars paired the look with loose waves and a soft pink lip. While neither singer
01:57commented about it, fans were both pleased and displeased. Some said Madison couldn't live up to
02:02the original, while others praised her, saying,
02:05"...it takes a certain je ne sais quoi to wear the same dress as Beyoncé and look just as good as
02:10she did." Madison Beer is simply that girl.
02:13Adele celebrates Black as King
02:16Beyoncé took the world by storm when she released the visual album Black as King. In it, Beyoncé wore
02:22outfits by many Black designers and went on to reimagine the story of The Lion King across the
02:27modern world. One of the outfits was a bodysuit by Maureen Sayre. To remind us that she is a fan of
02:33the singer, Adele celebrated Beyoncé's album on Instagram. Along with the picture from the video,
02:38Adele posed in the same Maureen Sayre print. She also debuted her very wavy, Beyoncé-like hair,
02:44smiling proudly as she posed with Queen Bey. Adele captioned her post,
02:48"...Thank you, Queen, for always making us feel so loved through your art."
02:52"...I've been a fan of Destiny's Child since I was like 11."
02:55Jennifer Lopez's AMA performance
02:58At the 2020 American Music Awards, Jennifer Lopez's performance with Maluma got fans
03:03talking on Twitter. But the discussion wasn't entirely about the performance.
03:07Rather, fans couldn't help but notice the similarities between J.Lo's sultry performance
03:13and a previous award show performance from Beyoncé. Jennifer Lopez joined Maluma to perform their
03:18songs Paw Tea and Lonely, but it was her catsuit, hairstyle, and her overall vibe that gave fans a
03:25lot of visual flashbacks to Beyoncé's drunken love. When put side by side, you can definitely see the similarities.
03:31Taylor Swift's pool party
03:35Fans thought Taylor Swift's You Need to Calm Down had too many similarities to Beyoncé's party music
03:41video to be a coincidence. Both are set in trailer parks and feature a scene with the singer relaxing
03:46on a pool float, although their outfits were a bit different. Some people have also claimed that some
03:51of the shots throughout the video appear to be framed similarly. On Twitter, a user joked,
03:56Beyoncé had leftover props from her party video. It's nice she's letting the girls use her things.
04:02Cardi B's holy look
04:05At the 2018 Met Gala, Cardi B wowed everyone with her look. However, some people online were
04:10calling her out for copying Beyoncé's 2017 Grammys performance ensemble. It also doesn't
04:16help that Cardi was pregnant, just as Queen Bey was when she wore her iconic gold beaded dress and
04:21matching crown. One fan joked about this year's theme, Heavenly Bodies, Fashion and the Catholic
04:27Imagination, saying,
04:28People are saying Cardi is channeling Bey's VMA look, pregnant and all. Y'all, the theme is basically Beyoncé.
04:34Lizzo's Sasha Flute
04:37In an interview with Vogue, Lizzo revealed that her flute holds a special place in her home. She
04:42keeps it in a Swarovski crystal case. She has also given it a name. Lizzo calls her flute,
04:48Sasha Flute, after Beyoncé's famous alter ego, Sasha Fierce. This flute might be the most famous
04:54flute in the world, with its own fan accounts boasting over 300,000 followers. Lizzo's latest
04:59instrument in her collection is a shiny blue flute named Blue Ivy, after Beyoncé's eldest daughter,
05:05Blue Ivy Carter.
05:06I have so many flutes, I want you to try one that's not so expensive. Oh, we can get Blue Ivy!
05:11Now that's a true fan.
05:14Normani's motivational homage
05:15When Normani dropped her debut solo single, Motivation, along with an accompanying music video,
05:21she gave us early 2000s nostalgia. It was packed with tributes to Beyoncé. Early in the clip,
05:27Normani struts down the street in a cropped white tank top and low-rise denim — the same pairing
05:32Beyoncé sported in her 2003 video for Crazy in Love. She channeled her inner Beyoncé for a rain-soaked
05:38scene that sees Normani dancing in a metallic two-piece akin to Beyoncé's baby boy.
05:44Cardi B's hat tribute
05:47Fans also thought Cardi's look from Paris Fashion Week was inspired by Beyoncé. The rapper stepped
05:52out in a Beyoncé-esque ensemble with an overdramatic hat. That look was compared to Beyoncé's black
05:58dress paired with a similar hat that she wore to the Grammys in 2018. Even though fans got riled up,
06:04Beyoncé has no issue with Cardi B using her as fashion inspo. A source close to the singer told
06:09HollywoodLife.com, Beyoncé is well aware that she is a trendsetter. And now that people are
06:14comparing Cardi's look to her, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Beyoncé thought Cardi
06:19looked great.
06:20Taylor Swift's homecoming
06:22The music video wasn't the first time Taylor Swift's been accused of copying Beyoncé. At the
06:28Billboard Music Awards, Taylor Swift kicked off the night with a performance of her single Me,
06:33and fans online were quick to point out that it mirrored Queen Bey's Coachella performance.
06:38Taylor had a full marching band, similar colors, backup dancers, and more that led Twitter users to
06:44believe that she may have watched the Netflix documentary one too many times.
06:46Iggy Azalea's Sally Walker
06:51For her music video Sally Walker, Iggy Azalea tried something new. However,
06:55fans were quick to point out that the overall vibe and aesthetics were too similar to Beyoncé's
07:00formation. This was especially evident when Iggy was posing on top of a car. Fans said it was very
07:06Beyoncé-esque.
07:07Selena Gomez's stage outfits
07:10Selena's performance outfits during her Revival tour looked familiar to fans. People thought they were
07:16heavily inspired by Beyoncé's The Formation World Tour stage outfits.
07:20Rita Ora's formation
07:23Beyoncé's formation was a cultural reset, so much that Rita Ora had to wear the same outfit as the
07:29one Beyoncé wore. The red Gucci outfit was mimicked by Rita as she was hanging out with friends.
07:34Sierra's The Carters
07:36Sierra and her husband Russell Wilson were Beyoncé and Jay-Z as they recreated the Louvre photo shoot for
07:42an incredible couple's Halloween costume. In a video posted on Instagram, the resemblance was
07:47uncanny as Sierra lip-synced to the Carter song, standing in front of a portrait of the Obamas.
07:54Mariah Carey's gown
07:56Beyoncé and Mariah Carey have a lot in common. They're both queens, gorgeous, and powerhouse singers.
08:02And sometimes they also share the same taste in fashion. The lovely ladies were seen rocking the
08:07same black, form-fitting Roberto Cavalli gown. Beyoncé wore it first at an event in New York City.
08:12She paired the outfit with a pair of platform stilettos and loose, wavy curls, achieving an
08:17overall glamorous look. Mariah wore hers later with a daring slit down the middle.
08:23Ariana Grande's stage outfits
08:25Ari's stylists may be looking at Beyoncé's stage outfits for inspiration. Not only once,
08:30but three times Ariana has worn outfits akin to ones Beyoncé wore before.
08:35First up is this red, cut-out leotard. Then, this leotard with padded hips. Also,
08:40this embellished outfit with the tiny skirt. Ari's stylists need to find inspiration elsewhere.
08:46I'm too shy for this.
08:48Kesha's sheer dress
08:50Kesha looked very glamorous when she attended the Life Ball in Austria. She hit the red carpet in a
08:56white, sheer lace dress with long sleeves and a floor-length cut. Her look was also very familiar.
09:02The white lace dress makes us immediately think of a very similar look that Beyoncé had already
09:07worn to the Grammys. On the 2014 Grammy Awards red carpet, Beyoncé wore a white lace Michael
09:13Costello gown that showed just enough skin. Kylie's Marine Serre bodysuit
09:18While most of us have gotten fashion inspo from Beyoncé, some claim Kylie Jenner straight-up wants to
09:24be Beyoncé. Fans accused Kylie of copying a whole look off of Bey's Instagram. In Beyoncé's post,
09:29she was posing in a dark blue and red Marine Serre bodysuit with a sleek belt, an oversized black coat,
09:35retro sunglasses, and pumps. Then, if you look at Kylie's outfit also posted on Instagram,
09:41it was basically the same, except her bodysuit was beige and black. People were also comparing Kylie's
09:46pose, saying,
09:47Everyone wants to be Beyoncé. The only difference is,
09:50Kylie Jenner has enough money to actually do it. This one has too many little details to be a coincidence.
09:57Khloe Kardashian in pink
09:59Khloe's all-pink look garnered attention for its similarity to Beyoncé's Check On It music video.
10:04When Khloe Kardashian became a brand partner with Ipsy, she found herself being criticized on social
10:09media after several promotional photos from her new partnership with the beauty subscription service
10:15surfaced online. In the photos, she is seen rocking an all-pink ensemble along with chestnut-colored
10:20hair. The brunette locks with the pink clothes made her look just like Beyoncé. Fans compared her
10:25appearance in the pink-themed shoot to that of Queen Bey's in her 2005 Check On It music video. The red
10:31background doesn't help with the comparisons. Kim Kardashian
10:36Fans swore Kim channeled Beyoncé at the 2015 Met Gala. She wore a sheer Roberto
10:42Cavalli dress which featured crystal embroidery and a long fur train. Other than the color,
10:47the gown looks very similar in shape to Beyoncé's Met Gala gown from 2012. However,
10:52Kim said her outfit was inspired by Cher. She posted on Instagram a photo of Cher's first Met Gala look
10:59along with the caption,
11:00Tonight's inspiration, Cher at the first-ever Met Gala. I just met her and told her this photo was
11:06my inspiration for my dress tonight. She is so beautiful. So happy I met her. What do you think?
11:11Inspired by Cher or Queen Bey?
11:13A piece of me did die inside as a Beyoncé stan, I'm not gonna lie.
