It is the constriction of the waist creates the illusion of padded hips, as it has emphasized her hips and thighs. You can see through the dress that her thighs come straight down off the hips. Thanks for these photos, which I really appreciate since having an obsession for the last fifteen years and devotee of images of the corset which I use in my art work. I have also always loved Madame X by Sargent which is one of the most stunning portraits ever made.

Would that we could somehow take the palette and brush to real life and, Sargent-like, revise forever that cheap display of halftime sensationalism.

Also, the haircut: what she thinking?

“Oh, hey, this will make me look like an urchin—or possibly a waif—from Dorchester.”

Still, she had an okay house, but moist.

There it is! Blame poor Thierry. Perhaps Beyonce did what most women would never do, wear a dress that made them look like they’d slipped into a loving cup. The dress might have just barely passed had it been black, but the silver fish scale look cum see through is a… oh what the hell – like I know what I’m talking about!

Surely this is not just coincidence, or just a snappy background meaning nothing favored by the artist or Mrs. Gardner. I wonder what is up with that?
