<p>The 'Single Ladies' hitmaker had posed in a pair of studded leggings in the advertising campaign to promote the new line which she designed with mother Tina Knowles, but E-Label claims that it is a "copy and paste" of their creation, reported Daily Mail online.<br /><br />Helba Hallgrimsdottir, who co-owns the brand, claims that Beyonce purchased their trademark 'Heavy Metal' leggings from their London store in November last year.<br /><br />"I didn't understand straight away that this was her own label. I just thought she was wearing our leggings. It is practically just copy-paste," said Hallgrimsdottir.<br /><br />E-label has not yet decided whether there is a case for legal action. "No decision has yet been taken. We need to inspect her brand's trousers closer because, according to law, it is not copied if a certain number of things have been changed from the original design," she said.<br /><br />She added that though E-label's design was not copyrighted, the media coverage of the singer's shopping trip was likely to be adequate evidence to prove the design had been plagiarised.</p>
