Beyonce set's standards


There has been talk in the press today about the outfit Beyonce wore to promote her 2009 world tour, 'I AM...'
Beyonce Knowles stepped out onto the streets of New York yesterday to tape her concert tour promotion video. She wore a dress by world-renowned designer, director and photographer, Thierry Mugler. Thierry will work as creative advisor and costume designer on the tour.
Tabloid newspapers didn't hesitate to comment on the structure of Beyonce's dress. But as she's always known for showing off her curves, why should she stop now? The dress was made to hug tightly on the waist, and to give a curvier figure on the hips. As extravagant as the dress is, i think Beyonce pulls it off beautifully.
With so much pressure on women to have a slim figure these days, i think its great to have a role model to show of how curvy women can look fantastic. Their are so many celebrities in magazines and newspapers being criticized for being 'curvy' or having put on a bit of weight. It's no wonder at least 1.1 million people in the UK are affected by an eating disorder.
Pressure by the media has convinced skinny teenagers they're fat, and size 0 catwalk models they can't eat. By giving the public the impression 'skinny is beautiful' peoples self-esteems are being ruined, and who came up with that theory anyway?
I think its about time celebrities like Beyonce set this impression on the world. Women shouldn't have to hide their natural curves, they should embrace them, and lets hope the public start to get the message, curves are beautiful!
