Who was asked to judge the beauty of Hera?

You may be talking about when Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite asked Zeus to judge which of them looked best. Zeus, being a god and knowing better than to answer this question, passed it on to Paris, a mortal from Troy. They all bribed him, and Paris chose Aphrodite and her gift- the love of the world's most beautiful woman, Helen of Sparta. This was the precursor to the Trojan war, which really is an interesting story even if it isn't what you're looking for.
