Beyonces New Album Photo   Intentionally Lightened? | photoshop job beyonce beauty body image

Beyonce (under a makeover that includes a very blonde do) appears in a new photo that will be featured on her next album, showing off her thighs in a minimal outfit – but Beyonce’s pre-baby figure is not the one that captured the attention in this shot. Various sources noticed that the superstar looks ‘lighter’. The Mail reports:

She faced controversy back in 2008 when her skin appeared shades lighter in an advertisement. But it appears Beyoncé – or her producers – have not learned their lesson. A promotional picture has emerged of the pop princess looking much paler than her usual colour.

The new photo, taken before the 30-year-old fell pregnant with her newborn daughter, are being used to re-advertise her fourth album, 4, which was released last year.

In the seductive pose, Beyoncé dons a blonde wig and lies on a leopard-print couch, wearing a skimpy black crochet monokini. She also wears suspenders and a lashing of dark red lipstick. Experts told The Sun the appearance may have been down to lighting used in the studio. However this is not the first time the wife of rapper Jay-Z has accused of appearing to ‘lighten’ her skin.’

What do you guys think of this?

Jennifer Aniston: People think that I do a lot of injections, but I don’t | jennifer aniston celebrity quotes

Jennifer Aniston talked to InStyle this month about opting for cosmetic procedures and skin issues:

“I’ve started getting those little sun spots. Things are beginning to pop out. Even the texture [of my skin] is changing. So I’ve recently started zapping the spots and getting spray tans whenever I can. And I’ve graduated to using SPF 60 sunblock when I’m on the beach.

People think that I do a lot of injections, but I don’t. I’m not saying that I haven’t tried it … but I see how it’s a slippery slope. All that cosmetic stuff looks ridiculous on me.”

… says Jennifer in InStyle Magazine.

Freida Pinto: People in India are so fascinated by white skin | freida pinto celebrity quotes beauty body image

Stunning actress Freida Pinto recently discussed with The Independent about a delicate issue: Indian women’s obsession to get lighter skin. Let’s hear her out: 

“It’s completely wrong medically – and culturally, of course, because it’s giving people the wrong idea. My friend who’s a doctor told me that she’d have parents come in with kids who were three years old, saying, ‘Do something – I want my baby to be fair.’ It’s just this thing that people [in India] are so fascinated by white skin. There’s a lot of people there who are naturally really pale. But the whole idea that you have to be fair – without naming actors, but there are actors who admit it – the fairer you are, the easier it is.”

Even within Bollywood? “Oh yeah, absolutely. The amount of pancake cream on your face is ridiculous. I don’t think it is required, by the way. If a cream can give you confidence then you really have to check your whole confidence department in the first place.”

… says Freida.
