celeb photos Beyoncé slays the Renaissance film premiere carpet

[bync]

atrl is the absolute pits of hell

 

she's not bleaching her skin. it's the lighting, the hair and the platinum dress that's making her look lighter. specially the lighting, it washed everyone out at the red carpet. stop being ridiculous

 

yeah she decided to close off the carpet for her photographer to take her own photos and edit them before posting, so what???? the fact that she talks about rebelling against perfection doesn't cancel her personal insecurities out, and it's absolutely none of y'alls business. she owes you not an ounce of the authenticity you think she owes you. maybe i understand because i am very much the same, if someone takes a picture with me, it has to go through post. i don't care. people will tell me they can't even notice what i retouched and i still don't care. i have very specific and tiny insecurities that only i notice, but fixing them makes me feel more comfortable, and that's my right

Some of the replies in here are disgusting but what else is new around here?

 

Anyways, Queen looks amazing!

We’ve all seen fan videos of her from her recent tour and she does not look like that irl.
 

She looks like a woman in her late 30s or early 40s and in these pics they’ve edited her to make her look like she’s 22, which is prolly why she doesn’t let other photographers take her pics bcoz places like Getty won’t edit her pics.

Are you miserable 24/7 or something?

 

And if you think Beyonce looks like she is in her late 30s/early 40s....

Normally she looks incredible but not this time. 

[FailSafe]

Simply stunning 

[Soda Pop Queen]

lol people in here pretending that Beyoncé isn't a naturally light-skinned black woman who occasionally tans again?? Because it's just impossible that the silver dress coupled with that bleached white wig couldn't have washed her out. Oh no, she must've either bleached or edited the pic to make herself look "white"  You'd swear y'all goofies have never seen her lite brite Creole mother before. Interesting how Solo doesn't get these same idotic statements when they have the same skin tone that fluctuates. Both be light brown in the Summer and pale af in the Winter, like a lot of light skinned black people.

 

Spoiler

 

NEWays, Queen's dress looks great. Not sure about the wig though. I feel she should've went with a more dramatic style.

You got a lot to say about beautiful natural women considering you're a Gaga stan.

We know your fave is also a regular at Epione so there’s nothing natural about how she looks. 
 

And in any case, at least Gaga is confident enough to face the cameras meanwhile your so-called “natural” fave is paranoid about others catching her imperfections and therefore hides from the public.

 

It must suck to be that insecure. Poor thing.

[Sapphire]

wow

she looks bright and shiny like a million dollar

[G.U.Y. Gaga]

I don’t think I like that dress on her 

 

 

but she looks great 

[1989]

She looks like a Kardashian, which is disappointing.

Is she? Why does every Haus Labs promo look like it was AI generated though? All that photoshop on top of literally face altering plastic surgery that has her face looking tighter than Madonna’s and she STILL looks a botched mess that’s not touching Beyoncé’s beauty EVER. 

[BnPac]

She looks fantastic and I can't wait for the movie. 

[Revel]

I think she looks great. This look should have been the main look of the Renaissance era.

It’s not the timing of the pics. It’s the inauthenticity of it all. We have footage of her guests arriving at the venue n their pics being taken. Hers has to go through an editing mill before being presented to the public. It fosters a disconnect between her and the public. The public comprising target audience for this film and her continued business ventures.
 

She talks a big game about letting go of perfection et al but practices the anti thesis of that. It’s just disappointing as a fan watching her becoming a shell of a person. She won’t do red carpet for award shows - fair enough. But c’mon your very own film. Besides the dent in her bankability, it’s unhealthy for anyone to wield or covet that much control over their appearance. 

You got 20+ years of red carpets if she’s over it and wants control over HER image she’s earned that right. And not you saying it’s unhealthy.. Beyoncé seems to be doing fine with her choices hence why she keeps doing em   fans like you are weird. She keeps telling you she don’t give af and yet y’all still ***** about the same **** that’s unhealthy

She is in her early 40s so she does look it. And there’s nothing wrong with it

I don't really agree with this. Maybe because I'm well past the point of needing Beyoncé to seem like she could ever possibly be my friend, which is a criteria the general public increasingly keep in their measurements of someone's star worth. I don't need her to have a weird angle released to Getty in order for me to think "wow, she's a real PERSON, isn't she?". I don't need her to prove her personhood. And her perfectionism is a flaw, too. Why can't we see that? We request a packaged idea of what she should be in order for the public to see her as a person, but aren't allowing for her to be who she is. I understand here it's as simple as how she approached this premiere, but this is also highly insignificant in regards to public opinion.

 

I was refreshing Twitter just as much as anyone to see her look, but when I didn't see it that night, I wasn't bothered by it at all and I certainly didn't think she's a "shell of a person" because of that. Frankly, that sounds ridiculous to me. At the end of the day she is a person and she is a brand. She can talk about embracing imperfection AND still seek it at certain times. And did anyone go to the RWT and think "I can really tell this is all about imperfection." No. That's her own philosophy that has led her to be looser on stage which we can see, but it certainly was not a tour that had anything "imperfect" about it in execution. Only if you read into the ideas of being human vs. a robot would you get a sense of this.

Nobody is saying she looks bad. The skin lightening by her retoucher is ridiculous. Yes Beyoncé is light skin, and yes black people get lighter during winter but this is to blatant. 

And yet that simply isn't true.

 

After what you quoted, the person I was speaking to clarified that the comment was about how young she looked. They did not mention skintone once. Perhaps that's what you feel, and yet you'd still be incorrect.

“I thought I was there at 30, but nah, it’s getting better. Life is getting better. I spent so much of my life a serial people pleaser, and finally, I don’t give a ****” - Beyoncé in her RENAISSANCE Film. 

 

 

I think some need to put this on their walls and remember this whenever they are speaking of her work because lord, when will you get it? 

Also everything Parkwood publishes is approved by Beyoncé FIRST.

This!

 

I know people will use this like "well why is she still so secretive?"... but they would not be thinking it through, considering it's "the people" who want her to loosen up and doing so to please them thereby negates what she's saying. She should and can and WILL be as secretive, elusive, private, perfection-seeking, time-taking as she wishes and deserves.

It’s just the lighting. Laverne Cox suffered the same fate. This isn’t new. Happens to everyone 

 

At the risk of exposing myself as a big nerd, I just did a quick color correction + contrast adjustment on the picture on the right. The processing on these photos is awful and that's why everyone looks washed out. People are being obnoxious about how Bey looks. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[modeblock]

I'll tell you who looks a mess, it's the gooners in here who don't know how lighting works. Beyoncé looks gorgeous, and the hair color looks gorgeous on her. She's giving Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones icy ***** type vibes - love it

I’m not askin nor do i expect her to encourage a parasocial relationship between herself and the public. My qualm is that the connective tissue between Beyonce and me as a fan, is at its thinnest. This would be adequate for artists that release music only but Bey also wants us to buy into her tangential ventures. 
 

Letting go of promotional appearances and interviews makes sense to me. Mama’s  been at it since ‘97 and she’s hung up that cloak. This premiere is an event she has 100% control over and yet she opted not to be seen having her photo taken in real-time. Of course, she still wants to see so she posts the photos on her own terms and now discourse is around the lightness of her hue, ludacris as that sounds. It feels paralytic to me. 
 

Maybe she’s insecure about her appearance. That’s a probability, whether true or false, doesn’t negate the validity of my observation. I appreciate that you had a more digestible takeaway when the pics surfaced, and that’s fine too.

I don't see it as insecurity about her appearance per se. If you look at the closeup, she still has a visible laugh-line/makeup crease, so they clearly weren't going all-out with retouching, and as someone who has done retouching before, fixing a blemish, removing a wrinkle or even doing more intense stuff like altering the shape of someone's face is really not that hard or nor time consuming if it's not an editorial print cover...which this certainly is not... in fact the photographs are a bit low-quality if you ask me.

 

But whether the image was delayed to retouch or not, there's just no way Beyoncé was ever going to say "So, I'll go in, you photograph me. Pick whatever images you want. I don't care which shots you use. Just post them immediately." Obviously she's at the very least going to want approval on selects, its an image that is going to last of HER at HER premiere, and going into a 2.5 hour film plus time before and after for greeting and mingling, she's not going to be over the photographer's shoulder during the film or after looking at every shot and discussing which to post. She's hopefully enjoying herself with the loved ones she's invited, sharing in the fruits of HER/their labour.

 

But we can agree to disagree because just because I'm fine with certain things doesn't mean others have to be, and I get that. I think Beyoncé understands the power of promotion, but is also not going to sacrifice her experience nor the end result of the "promo" just to say she did something by the books and so that the public can feel close to her in some way.
