A Little Help From Mom


This picture presents Beyoncé in a much more glamorous way then the other two did. Here, we see her really embody her celebrity status but we also see some of her family history. She is dressed in all red, which is usually seen as a more sexual and passionate color. The red color also pops out among the more neutral colors in the background. She is dripping in a plethora of accessories including chunky, gold necklaces and a fur coat which can usually be a symbol of wealth. She is sitting with her legs crossed, which is seen as a more feminine way to sit and a little bit more sophisticated. Behind her sits her mother who appears to be fixing the hem on an article of clothing Beyoncé is wearing. Her mother is clearly not the focus of this image. Her eyes are cast down, focusing on what she is doing and she is also wearing a brown outfit, which blends in with what is behind her. Although Beyoncé is not a large person in the least, she takes up a lot of the photo. Her legs are out in front of her and her hand sits behind her so she is covering more area. Additionally, her hair is not completely tamed, which allows it to be spread out over her fur coat. By taking over a lot of the picture, she becomes a dominant part of the image, representing her female power in the music industry.
