What was Aretha wearing?

Not to hate on the Queen of Soul but I can't decide if she looks like a cotton ball or a cloud. Great pipes; horrible fashion sense. sad

Oh my God! That is terrible. I think she got caught up in one of the curtains backstage and then didn't have time to pull it off before she went onstage. lol

Yes, she does. I think the subtext is her size. A lot of female stars wear questionable things. The implication always seems to be: "At her size, she should know better." Now, over the decades, I've seen ReeRee wear some stuff, so I'm not excusing her. I still think folks think heavier artists should be more conservative, fashion-wise.

Shoot, it's ARETHA FRANKLIN! Directly or indirectly, most pop and soul female singers (and maybe some male, too) are beneficiaries of her work and legacy. I wouldn't be surprised if that understanding fuels her attention-grabbing fashion sense.

That's what I thought when I saw her. And what was up with the Blonde Ambition?

Aretha is the worse dressed diva ever but doesn't that make you appreciate her more. We love her anyway.

I saw her and just cracked up...God bless her.

Welll...

Actually the girls are sorta in check. Looks like the same dress she's wearing underneath that poofy thing in the first picture.

Aretha's got THE voice and I think she's great, but I agree that dress was pretty bad. sad It was too poofy and just...too much fabric.

She reminded me of a Thanksgiving Day parade float.

Aretha's been doing this since the Freeway of Love video. Should you really expect anything different these days?

The Christmas tree skirt thing was what I was originally going to post! lol So I guess I wasn't the only one who thought so.

Poor thing, that Queen of Soul has no boobs whatsoever... :O

Aretha has NEVER had any taste in clothes. This ain't surprising at all, it's just the latest (probably not even the worst, lol). The bigger question is WTF is Musiq wearing??? whofarted shake evillol

He's got a Donny Hathaway/studded denim-thing going on. Assuming that he's wearing denim...are the shoes denim too?

Oh no Leave The Grande Dame Diva alone. Retha can where a Hefty bag and make it look good. It's how you carry yourself. She doesn't like to fly in airplanes she drove to be there. Wonder if she's gotten over that pesky fear of getting on an airplane yet doubt it?
She has more class then most people will ever get. Always there to show support for younger performers. She could be I don't have time but she isn't like that.
She gives the word Diva a good connotation.
sorry if that was over your head...jump up and try to catch the point next time.
