This picture shows Beyonce's first star image where she was in a popular girl band called Destiny's Child. Here we can see Beyonce wearing bright colours and is not wearing provocative clothing and so therefore representing herself in order to portray her music and not her body.

This image was the cover of her first solo album, Dangerously in love. Here, we can see that she has begun to sexualise herself in order to attract a large audience base. She has completely changed her image and is wearing more provocative clothing, in order to sway away from her image as an innocent girl band artist.





This image was taken from a music Video in Beyonce's latest album  'lemonade'. Unlike the previous images Beyonce is now looking down on the camera instead of directly facing it, in order to show that she is important and that she no longer needs to build on her star image. She has a much more reserved look which is used to portray her maturity and new life style.
