    This dress creeps me out beyond words. It looks like the dress is over a barbie doll, and NOT in a good way. The kind of contours that look like plastic connecting barbie legs. *shudders*. Very unflattering.

  2. voodoobetty says:

    man she looks just….GROSS. 19″ waist my ass. Dita Von Teese has a 21″ waste which is from years of corsetry and she is TEENY TINY compared to bucket full of extra crispy here. I say she has a 27 – 29 inch waste easy.

  3. notprfect says:

    AWFUL dress on Beyonce(and the other woman who was wearing it-aaand ANYONE else who wears it). I don’t really care if that’s how it’s SUPPOSED to look, it’s ugly. If the dress is meant to look that way, that makes it even worse, in my opinion.

    Also, why is Jewel walking with a cane? Did I miss something, here? Anyone, anyone…

  4. Tia says:

    ok that dress is gross looking. it makes me uncomfortable looking at it.. ICK !! Um hello, women don’t want hips that big.. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW GROSS !!! She has 10 pounds of horse hair in her head and now fake hips.. riiiighhhttt.. ewwwwww

  5. morgs says:

    Jewel fractured both her tibias while training for Dancing with the Has-Beens. Stress fractures I think.

  6. okay... says:

    19 inch waist…Yeah, me too! HAHHAHA!!

    Jewel did something to her knee (I think) on DWTS.

  7. Sauronsarmy says:

    I love that dress. Its by Thierry Mugler I’ve always loved his stuff.

  8. mamafogle says:

    I saw the trailer for that Woodstock movie and actually started laughing out loud. But then I always think Liev Schreiber in drag is just hilarious.

    My dad was actually there at Woodstock and the movie looks just like how he described it.

  9. Wow says:

    That dress is not flattering to her at all. But Beyonce needs to quit lying about having a 19 inch waist. She’s not Scarlett O’Hara. Embrace being a curvier woman, its okay. She normaly looks great. This dress is just not right for her is all.

  10. mamafogle says:

    Agree on the dress. She shouldn’t wear something that tight unless she has some sort of shapewear. It looks like she’s wearing a torture device under it.

  11. staramour says:

    Oh boy, I don’t feel the need to defend B as I don’t really care for her. But Thierry has no need to lie really about the alteration. If you look at Jerry Hall’s version, it’s significantly longer. I suppose if you’re much shorter, a 19″ waist could be proportionate or achievable. And don’t forget, it’s the waist, not the hips – the more common measurement. I’m 5’8″ with a 25″ waist, but my income doesn’t depend on my appearance/physique (*thanks the universe*)!

    However, it’s clearly fit too tightly & I do agree with the barbie doll (“not in a good way”) comment by Miss Ash!

  12. Stitchgirl says:

    Maybe 19 inches in the 2D image ie 38! Gosh that sounds bitchy but who is she kidding….Just be honest about being a normal sized sexy girl!

  13. lisa says:

    Sadly, she tried to squeeze into the wrong sized dress. While she will always have serious curves (which are gorgeous) she needs to remember not to try on those dresses meant for no-hip, skinny boned models. It just doesn’t work.

  14. SixxKitty says:

    There is no way, no day when that woman has a 19′ waist!
    Scarlett O’Hara’s waist in Gone with the wind was 18′ and you could link your hands arround it! (wax figure anyway)
    She would need to be thinner than nicole Richie (in a nice way) for her to have a waist that small, and she clearly isn’t rail thin!
    Now she’s a liar as well…???

  15. MomInNH says:

    Maybe it’s 19″ after having several strong men cinch her into a corset. That I’d possibly believe. But I’ve seen her in real life and there’s no way in hell she’s got a 19″ waist without some serious corset tightening.

  16. the original kate says:

    a 19″ waist? on what planet?

  17. Feebee says:

    She’s a 19 inch waist like Jennifer Love Hewitt was a size 2 and Oprah is 200lbs.

  18. turth-SF says:

    Bitch please, I’m 5’2″ and 95 pounds on a good day, (I wish I can atleast get to 100 pounds) and there’s no way in hell I have a 19″ waist. Who is she trying to fool, the big girls?

  19. M says:

    Beyonce always was delusional. First she plagiarizes all her music, she wears but pads and now a 19 inch waist?! She looks terrible, but I’m sure they’ll photoshop it adequately for the ad itself

  20. Autumm Leaves says:

    Exactly M! Doesn’t anyone remember Oscar night? Horrid dress and red, glittering number complete with thick waist and thighs on stage. Beyonce is a 19″ waist in her deluded dreams.

  21. Zoe (The Other One) says:

    Beyonce seems to have been drinking LiLo’s delusional juice.

    She looks horrendous and really really uncomfortable.

  22. Whitey Fisk says:

    “The exaggerated hips are a design element of a truly couture dress.” Yep, and her publicist/designer should have left it at that. I think most people ‘get’ that the dress is dramatic and costume-y. Similar to Madonna’s pointy bras…she doesn’t really have pointy boobs under there! (Hmm, or does she?!)

    For a publicist to comment on this at all is ridiculous. If celebrities start releasing statements every time someone doesn’t like their outfit, it could become an issue. What bothers me more, though, is that the publicist addresses Beyonce’s weight even before commenting on the dress. It implies that weight gain is some awful charge worth addressing and denying publicly. Throwing that 19″ waist claim in there is the cherry on top. This comment leads me to suspect that Beyonce (who I’ve always loved) is a hyper-defensive, unsophisticated egomaniac with weight issues. I have never thought of her that way before, and I hope it’s inaccurate.

    This is a classic example of the cover-up being worse than the crime.

  23. Ceenitall says:

    She looked at herself in the mirror and thought yep this is what I will wear to a photoshoot? Really? A mirror that refelcted her image back at her? And she still wore it?????

  24. yadira says:

    The only way her hips pop out like that is if she is wearing a corset. Judging from the fake blonde hair, the corset and the make up…she is trying to be something she’s not. Just embrace the curves. Be natural and you will look better

  25. viper says:

    She just wont admit that she’s obese.

  26. lara says:

    A 19 inch waist? Hahahahahahahaha!

  27. nidia says:

    If she truly believes that her dress accentuates a 19″ waist, WOW, she’s not as smart as she wants us to believe. Your corsett PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And, by the, the dress is HORRID!

  28. Hieronymus Grex says:

    So the dress designer’s idea was to make it look like she’s smuggling two 10 pound hams under that frock?

  29. Antionette P. says:

    bey is just truly and incredebly ignorant!! there’s no lie about it

  30. Debbi says:

    I may be the only one but…I like the dress. Agree about the Barbie effect, though.

  31. Raven says:

    Beyonce is not obese. However, this comment falls on deaf ears (or blind eyes) when she has her designer allege that her waist is 19 inches because no one believes it. Dita Von Teese is a great example of why we don’t, as someone mentioned above.

    The dress wasn’t even that great on Jerry Hall, but it was a lot better proportioned. If Beyonce picked out that dress for herself, she needs to find a manager who will set her straight. I thought she looked a bit chunky performing recently (at the Oscars?) but I think it was primarily those short shorts. She needs to dress for who she is and then she would be more accepted.

  32. shayA says:

    I could care less about the size of Beyonces waist whether it is a 19 or not it won’t do me any good either way so I don’t care and everyone is entitled to their own opinion and to me the dress is very unflattering and quite frankly utterly disgusting really what was the point? Big mistake!

  33. kerri says:

    A 19 GIRL BYE!

  34. manup says:

    I’m a guy and in my opinion b is not all that from what I can c and I say this cause I never c the real her so fakeness just ain’t cute. Always with the exagerratedly long hair and big bufont styles one minute she has breast the next she doesn’t hip pads fake smiles on interview its just not cool down to earth real and humble is the way to go so b maybe u and daddy need to rethink ur whole money makin scheme

  35. nico says:

    I actually have a 19 inch waist lol but my weight is in the 80’s lol and my hips and 29 inches.

    The only 19 inches on beyonce is maybe the circumfrence of one of her calves.

    .. or her forearm.

    LOL THEY MADE THE DRESS SMALLER FROM JERRY HALL’S SIZE?

    UH the proof is in the picture.
    they’d have to have ADDED AN EXTRA PANEL OF FABRIC to fit beyonces bovine butt into JERRY HALL’S DRESS.
