It seems Beyonce's body proved too bootylicious for fashion designer Roberto Cavalli.
A press release was sent out
by the fashion house on Tuesday featuring the 31-year-old pop singer in a
gorgeous, flowing multi-coloured silk gown with many embellishments and
cut-outs that he designed exclusively for the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour.
However, the singer's
natural, voluptuous body had been reduced to an obscenely skinny size, with her
thighs nearly as thin as her arms.
Fortunately, the press
release also included photos from the actual concert, showing the differences
between the digitally-altered Beyonce and the real-life star.
While fashion sketches regularly
use elongated figures, the image appeared to be a strange Photoshop picture
rather than a hand-drawing.
The digitally altered
photograph triggered dozens of comments from outraged fans after it was posted
on the Roberto Cavalli Facebook page - with many suggesting it portrays an
'unrealistic ideal'.
'I really don't get why
brands force women to follow certain kind of body shapes that most people find
unattractive. Real Beyonce figure is!'
And another added: 'If this
is supposed to be a sketch of Beyonce why not actually draw Beyonce instead of
some imaginative image which fits the status quo for sickly looking run way
models??
'She is absolutely gorgeous
just the way she is, not as she's represented in that sketch.'
Of course, Beyonce is not a
fan of being airbrushed and last week controversy arose between the Grown Woman
singer and international clothing retailer H&M.
