That's what I thought too. Which is an interesting comparison because my linesister and I have had many conversations about how artists like Shakira and Beyonce have dyed their hair blonde and made themselves more racially ambiguous seemingly to attract a larger audience.
I couldn't help but see the irony in the movie Dreamgirls as Jamie Foxx moved Beyonce to be the lead singer when he realized that her lighter skin and less soulful voice got a better reaction from white audiences. It reminded me a lot of Destiny Child's journey.
But who knows, it may just be the lighting of photo shoot and some photographer's artistic vision.
