2. In this image, Beyonce is dressed as royalty
showing her importance in the RnB music
industry, representing her as the ‘Queen’ of
RnB, this is exemplified through the crown on
her head but also the extravagance of her
costume. This is shown through the amount of
jewels she is wearing as well as the use of
primary outstanding colours such as the
electric blues.
Beyonce is wearing a corset which reflects her
wealth and status as an artist and her success.
Her make up is very subtle yet defined,
showing Beyonce’s class and style by not being
too over board. Beyonce’s hair has been styled
as someone from the Elizabethan Era, again
reinforcing her wealth, class and status as she
is being portrayed as an artist with high
authority.
3. Within this image of Nicki Minaj, she is being
portrayed as an artist of sexual desire through
the use of costume and make up reinforcing the
stereotype of RnB artists being sexual objects.
Her lack of costume represents her need to be a
sexual object in the RnB music industry and this
is commonly expected by Nicki Minaj as in many
photo shoots or music videos she is repeatedly
dressed provocatively showing confidence as an
artist and reinforcing her status as the ‘boss’ in
the music industry.
The pose that has captured is seductive and
suggestive automatically attracting male readers,
whereas to females readers whom she may be a
role model too, this would be inspiring.
Nicki’s make up within the image is fairly simple
with the use of nude colours, and a light pink
colour on her lips as she is expressing with her
costume and pose that there are other ways to
express her sexual confidence.
Her hair is straight and down past her shoulders,
with a glossy shine to it reflecting her wealth as
she is able to take care of herself.
4. In this image of Rihanna, she is portrayed as
very glamorous and sophisticated an image
she doesn’t often portray; usually Rihanna
does photo shoots wearing rarely anything
with “wacky” and out there hair styles
representing her individuality and her need to
be different from all of the other artists in the
industry. However by dressing sophisticated
shows her fans she is able to surprise them
and does have different sides to her
personality. Secretly by wearing red and
transparent materials on her chest she is being
seductive; the red is prominent and eye
catching, causing people to stare at those
parts of her body.
Once again her make up, like beyonce and
Nicki Minaj is very simple due to the costume
being the main feature of her appearance in
which stands out. Her red lips show to her
readers she knows about makeup and fashion
as a successful artist, inspiring many of her
fans.
