TOW #21 - visual: Beyonce's Grammy Dress

The Grammy’s are always a big deal in America. Who looked the best, who looked the worse, what went wrong and what went right. Everything is analyzed, critiqued and ridiculed. This year, the Grammy’s occurred around the time Beyoncé revealed to the public that she was pregnant with not just one, but two babies. The dress she wore during her performance showed symbolism and put the crowd full of a-list celebrities in awe.
            Beyonce’s dress seemed to show the public her excitement for motherhood and her love and care for her unborn children. The dress featured intricate beading, but all eyes were on the center of the dress, where her pregnant stomach appeared. The dress had a beaded woman over her baby bump, appearing to be happily looking down. This shows the nurturing of her children, the love she has for them, and how blessed she feels.
            By utilizing symbolism, Beyonce is showing the world her view on motherhood and her excited for the future with her twins. The beaded woman on her dress shows a symbol of herself and her happiness. A lot of the public did not know she was pregnant before the Grammy’s, this performance and this dress being her debut of the news. The symbolism effectively shows how she feels about the news of her two children.
            Her purpose is to show her feelings of the news of her two children and inform the public on how she will truly care for these children. The beading on her dress representing her shows that she is looking down on them and caring for them, preparing for their journeys on Earth.
