what's with the drugged up look and heroin den background? high fashion my ass. more like high trash!

well it's also cheaper since she won't have to pay someone to be the model We all know how greedy Bey is.

She was also probably the photographer for the shoot too. I could picture her with the camera on a tripod and then running in front of it to pose just before the camera takes the shot, lol!

I don't know, I took another look at the pics and she's reminding me more and more of Rhianna.

You can tell she has been very inspired by Gaga since her arrival. I love it though. Beyonces improved immensely since 2008.

She's looking kinda hot in a couple of the pics.

For real!!!! That's exactly what I was thinking...where the hell are the clothes??

I actually think a few of the pics/poses look good but I was also wondering where the clothes are. This shoot is only focusing on her. Plus, the fake tattoos are really annoying. The one with her bare back is the only pic where it fits.

I really hate the one of her upside down with her legs cocked up in the air. She looks like a dead rag doll.

I think she was going for "high fashion".

FAIL.

Yeah, she must be doing "high fashion" from the Tyra Bank ANTM school of high fashion.

*dead*

Although she is a beautiful woman, she is an awful model and when overstyled just looks silly.

proof that it takes more than good looks to be a model.

Bey: Give it to me, give it to me, yes, yes, yes, NO! NO! NO!

LOL

These pics are a hot mess and they don't scream Beyonce at all!

I actually started wondering after a few pictures whether this fall line was maybe a line of cosmetics, that she was launching a make-up line...

EXACTLY.

I look at this and I see nothing more than an ad campaign that acts as a vanity project for Bey.

Where are the clothes?

The signature pieces that make us die to stack our closets for fall?

Only an established line has the ability to do a less is more campaign with the bare minimum of pieces and heavy on visual concept; what she's done here is possibly give us a hankering for undergarments or shoes, but not much else...oh- and is she selling temporary body art tatoos as well? Honestly, it's a great campaign for whoever did hair and make-ip, but otherwise, er...no thanks.

Furthermore, I'm not buying her as a high end ashion model. You can throw all the lights ,hair, and make up on her from Conde Nast to Mondadori, but while she's a very pretty young woman, that face is not editorial....at all.

So the look for this fall is "Cheap Ho' Chic"?

She's about as modelesque as Zoolander. Her face reads 'blank' in every shot.

I'm getting a Rihanna vibe here too.

I just get a "Hot Mess" vibe.

It seems to me that she's trying to channel some Rihanna-ness (Good Girl Gone Bad-Rated R) in these pix.

Girl, please!

the over-the-top poses, hair, etc. don't make up for the clothes.

Agreed. The only thing I took from this is that they have black leggings with side studs available this fall. Whooo hooooo. Sorry, but Vivienne Westwood it ain't.

As cute as she is (and she is cute) she does NOTHING 4 me.............now Kelly (from Destinys Child) is another story all 2gether. I'd take her out.......2 night.

I have to admit that some of the poses look like Madonna's latest poses that she did for some magazine.

Say that line again and imagine Prince saying it....

@Harlepolis.......And BTW Harle, remember my classic thread where I wonder what more Beyonce had to do to get to Madonna's level or better?!?

It seems to me at least that Bey & Gaga are both racing to be THE first female artists to suppass Madonna's level. First it's Gaga with the record-setting 13 nominations for the 2010 VMAs AND now Bey with this obvious Madonna-inspired photo shoot.

Madonna-inspired? No. I do, however, see an uncanny resemblance to something Rhianna would do or already has done.
