Beyonce seems to be a lawsuit magnet as of late.

First her House of Dereon gets sued, and now this!

Underwear manufacturer Triumph has filed a lawsuit against Sony for copyright infringement, claiming she wore an unauthorized copy of Bulgarian designer Iskren Lozanov's lingerie in her Video Phone music video.

Sony argued that the design was inspired by Picasso and any other similarities are just coincidence.

Unfortunately for Sony, the judge wasn't buying their crappy retort and says they did in fact copy Lozanov's original concept.

Sony has since consulted Beysus and will most likely appeal the decision.

We do see a lot of similarities especially in the glasses and the bangles. And considering that Iskren's design was showcased on September 23rd in Milan, which was BEFORE the premiere of the video, Sony has a lot of explaining to do.

What do U think? Coincidence or deliberate copy???
