not gonna entertain the bs surrounding the met gala appearance anymore because i'm trying to bask in it. like look at her, you wanna be negative about THIS???????
Robert Wun about this custom look:
“The gown is really about the perspective of how the stars would look down on earth, and seeing our golden coastline at night, like what you would see on a plane. When I spoke about the idea, she said she found that look also on social media, she screencapped it, shared it with us, and she said like ‘Yeah I think this is the one.’”
Stunning! It does really look like what you see from an airplane 💛
🗣️ “People need to know Beyoncé is a writer.” —Riddick-Woods about Beyoncé, they are celebrating Beyoncé's B'Day 20th anniversary
“She’s not the type of collaborator that’s like, “My way or the highway.” She’s constantly fielding opinions, and that’s the standard way good collaboration works. Of course, we went back and forth on lines — “Let’s not say that,” “Let’s move this line here” — nothing was different because it was Beyoncé. She was really engrossed in that collaboration process, as any other writer would be.
For example, she had written most of “Kitty Kat” before I got there; that was all her. People need to know Beyoncé’s a writer. I know there’s been a lot of conversation over the years, but I’ve seen her write. I’ve seen the ideas and concepts she has; she’ll give them to us, and we’ll write around them. A lot of times, that’s where songs start: from a dope concept.
“Freakum Dress” was another concept she came up with based on how the music made her feel. We were talking about going out and how you make your man jealous. All of that is writing; it starts with conceptualizing first. Before you get into the nitty-gritty of the lyrics and the rhythm and the pre-chorus and this and that, it starts with the concept and the theme of the song first. Beyoncé always started there with her songs. And then she would come up with these crazy melodies. She’s her own vocal producer, but just singer to singer, I remember being like, “You want to sing that in full voice all the way through?” [Laughs].”
