Beyonce's White Marc Bouwer Dress Sets New Standard

Posted byBy Popular Critic | Published on: CommentsComments (0)

Beyonce shut down the house – literally – in a gorgeous white sequined Marc Bouwer Pre-Fall 2012 gown at the United Nations in New York City last week. The 30-year old entertainer arrived to film a video for her single “I Was Here” in honor of Humanitarian Day (August 19th).

Beyonce’s gown joins the list of celebrities showing off their take on the chicest summer color at special events.

Last night Jessica Biel was an absolute stunner in London at the “Total Recall” premiere in a two piece Giambattista Valli Haute Couture. On first glance it appears to be a one piece but Jessica completes the look with a white Valli feather belt.

Two months ago Rihanna donned a super sexy Adam Selman gown to the Battleship premiere in Los Angeles.

Absolutely gorgeous – all three ladies!

In other news: Last night Beyonce (wearing another white ensemble) sat down with CNN’s anchor Anderson Cooper for his show “Anderson Cooper 360” to discuss her latest philanthropic effort with the UN. As we mentioned Bey filmed the video “I Was Here” at the UN last week.

Cooper asked Beyonce the meaning of the words in the song, which was written by the legendary Diane Warren.

“It says, ‘I want to leave my footprints in the sands of time’ and it basically is all of our dreams, I think. And that’s leaving our mark on the world. I feel like we all want to know that our life meant something.

“We all have our purpose, and we all have our strengths…it feels so wonderful to do something for someone else. And I think for the U.N. to want to include the whole world was something important, and I feel like that’s what I represent.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
