Beyoncé’s unrecognizable transformation is under fire from critics who say she’s trying too hard to stay relevant

Critics aren’t “madly in love” with Beyoncé’s latest transformation, and so they’re letting it’s known.

In the past, the Grammy-winning artist has used Halloween as a way to pay tribute to among the notable figures in Black history. This 12 months was no different. On October 31, Queen Bey posted a carousel of photos on Instagram dressed as “Nasty Gal” singer Betty Davis.

Beyoncé wore a zebra print jumpsuit, black and white boots and a big dark afro as she recreated the duvet of Davis’ 1975 album This Is It.

In one other post published on November 1, Beyoncé returned with two recent Halloween costumes. Paying tribute to Prince and his “Purple Rain” co-star Apollonia, Beyoncé shared a series of photos in dark hair, high boots and a horny lace bodysuit.

In the caption, she wrote: “Purple nasty.”

Wearing short, curly hair, a ruffled white top and a purple jacket, Beyoncé got into character along with her poses while holding a purple guitar paying homage to Prince’s iconic instrument. As for her tackle Apollonia, aside from her black catsuit and purple thigh-high boots, the “Naughty Girl” ditched her blonde braids in favor of huge, black curly hair to mimic the Apollonia 6 singer’s look.

Of course, many individuals gave Queen Bey their props for easily creating iconic styles. But others weren’t so approving.

Extra TV shared Halloween photos on its Instagram accountwhich prompted a lot of his supporters to express their opinions. One user wrote: “This gives me the necessity for attention. These shots look very thirsty. She used to look more like TISHA CAMPBELL. THEN APOLLONIA.

Another user said, “I feel like he needs more attention,” and a 3rd commenter shared a GIF that read, “He needs it so bad.”

A fourth person wrote: “I’m trying to be relevant,” while a number of naive others simply felt she didn’t do the prince justice.

However, not all comments were bad. “I love it!” shared by one fan, followed by one other who wrote, “She killed it!”

“I’m not a fan but I really like it,” one other person said.

Beyoncé had the chance to perform with Prince on the Grammys in 2004, 12 years before his tragic death. They performed a medley of their songs corresponding to “Purple Rain”, “Crazy In Love”, “Let’s Go Crazy”.

In 2012, she he said Giant that she was “afraid” of working with Prince.

“Walking into rehearsals, I was just overwhelmed, nervous and star-struck. We exercised for an hour every day for a week, instead of six hours the day before. It was very smart, it was Prince’s idea – I think he knows people are impressed because he’s so amazing. I felt really comfortable and when it came time to do it, it was second nature.”
