To be quite honest, I am a bit disappointed. I only started to like it from the point that Gaga appears. Oh well…it is still an amazing collaboration though! I am just so happy that this happened!

UPDATE #2

For their Video Phone music video.

I guess she is still obsessed with Gareth Pugh.

This screamed Gareth Pugh Fall 2009.

Here is the entire video.

Here is the Gareth Pugh video to refresh your memory. Cue 0:56, 2:11,6:22.

I don’t mind it. I love the fact that she is bringing this kind of fashion and imagery into the main stream.

I do although wish she brought the same clothes ‘though.

 
But Beyonce, how are you going to sit down in that dress?

My first thought at seeing these pictures were “I love you B but you look like a slutty drunk Floridian grandmother.”

Girl, you aint no Jennifer Connelly.  But at least you chose a different color (the one Lara wore on the runway)…werque Sasha, werque! And where'd you get those piñata shoes? House of Dereon I presume.
 

Ugh, Girl…those shoulders. You are killing me B! You are killing me softly…just when I thought I was over Balmain, you pull me back in! You think it is a Balmain?

And OMG! LeToya Luckett, one of the founding members of Destiny’s Child…you know, one of the girls who Beyonce kicked out of the group. Oooh…how they were in the same room together, both in Balmain, without pulling each other’s hair out! How juicy!
I guess the best she could get was Balmain Fall 2008.
 

Tiarra Marie wore this Balmain-like piece to accommodate her nice booty.

Do you think these girls are wearing Balmain hair too?

How to sit down in these dresses…

If you missed some of the show, like myself, here is B performing:

Ugh…she is so getting better…she isn’t even trying to hit those high notes, it just comes to her so naturally and effortlessly.

What do you guys think of her covering Sarah McLachlan's Angel?

And whoa! Check out the laser light shows during the second half of the performance! Doesn’t it just make you think of John Galliano’s fall 2009 show?

Okay, so this is from a few years back at the World Music Awards.

The video is of Rihanna, Amerie, and Tiara Marie performing Destiny’s Child’s Lose My Breath.

Oh RiRi was so young. So cute.

And check out Beyonce face!

I had mentioned earlier that I love the whole “Sasha Fierce” look but thought it was a bit of a rerun of something Daphne Guinness and Roisin Murphy have done.

Well, here are my evidence:

 
Daphne Guinness’ Metalic Hand vs. Beyonce.

Roisin Murphy’s Gareth Pugh vs. Beyonce’s Gareth Pugh.

Now to be completely honest, I have never heard of Roisin Murphy nor of Daphne Guinness until a few months ago (I, living on the other side of the pond where the avante-garde don’t get much coverage).  But since I learned that they are the original trendsetters of this look, I certainly have added these two fine ladies in my radar.

I definitely have a thing for that “armor” look.

I just love women who dare to be different. Women who are pioneers.

And I also found pictures of Roisin’s Gareth Pugh at a great angle.

And while on the subject of Daphne Guinness, I definitely think she deserves some recognition and r-e-s_p-e-c-t.  After all, the gal does have a House of Holland shirt where she is naked.
 

And I also love this cover of Daphne and Gareth Pugh:
 

Also, while on the subject, some Gareth Pugh-Giles Deacon-House of Holland loving.

They are adorable in those shirts.

Anyways, at this point, that Gareth Pugh “Predator-meets-Wizard-of-Oz” look is getting a bit old for me. Even Roisin Murphy is ditching it, after realizing that Lady Gaga and Beyonce have jumped on the bandwagon.

“I did a lot of very crazy avant-garde stuff on the last record," she explained. "And now the other girls are doing it and I have to move on — do you know what I mean?”

Is this look a one-season-wonder, or could we use more of it?
