Beyoncé’ Silver Hair Sparks Skin Bleaching Speculation: Internet Reacts to Queen Bey’s Bold Look
4 min readOn November 25, Beyonce caused a stir by arriving late for the premiere of her tour documentary, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce.” Despite the tardiness, she made a stunning entrance at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills, donning a strapless silver Versace gown. However, neither her statement clothing nor her tardiness piqued the imagination of social media users. It was her silver hair and skin that sparked the most debate online. Following this, internet users speculated that Queen Bey had her skin bleached. According to Variety, the dress code for the premiere was “cosy opulence,” and the guest of honor, Beyonce, requested that her famous friends, as well as other attendees, wear silver during her lengthy Renaissance tour, which concluded last month.
The attendees complied with her request, and the majority of them were dressed in shiny and sparkly ensembles. In attendance were Tina Knowles, Beyonce’s mother, former Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, Chloe and Halle Bailey, the latter accompanied by her boyfriend DDG, Tyler Perry, Vanessa Bryant, Issa Rae, Laverne Cox, Gabrielle Union, Winnie Harlow, and Lizzo, among others. Thanksgiving Day marked the release of the documentary’s final trailer, which will be screened on December 1. The teaser included footage from her Renaissance tour as well as her time with her husband, Jay Z, and their three children.

Beyonce’s Skin Bleaching Controversy Explodes Online Following The Release Of Her New Silver Hair Look
Beyonce opted not to join her celebrity guests on the red carpet for the premiere of her tour documentary, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce,” on Saturday. Instead, she arrived late in a Versace bespoke off-the-shoulder gown with matching long opera gloves as well as silver-heeled sandals to the Beverly Hills location in Los Angeles. Fans began discussing her new silver hair as soon as her red carpet photo went viral. However, her skin colour became a matter of discussion as well, with many presuming the pop icon had skin bleaching, sparking an online controversy. While some admirers claimed that the lighting made her appear whiter, others theorised that she had skin lightening done. One commenter asked if she had bleached her skin. She is not like this. Another person commented, “So she’s no longer black.” According to Variety, the dress code for the premiere was “cosy opulence”. The guest of honor, Beyonce, requested that her famous friends and other attendees wear silver during her lengthy Renaissance tour, which concluded last month.

Meanwhile, the news site also disclosed that, in reaction to the positive reception to the Los Angeles screening, the documentary will be shown in London on November 30.
Beyoncé didn’t bleach sh*t. A darker hair color will make your skin look darker than when you have blonde hair. Example: Christina Aguilera when her hair got dyed black that’s the only time when people realised her tan was so extra is because of the dark hair. https://t.co/yQxR3cs54b

Yall know good and well Beyonce did not bleach. The lady just went on a whole tour. It's lighting. Just stop.

Bleach blond on Beyoncé is definitely not it for me.

You people are funny. Why would Beyoncé bleach her skin? And why would she want to look like a Kardashian? Please be serious. Annoying lots.

Why is Beyoncé the only lightskinned person that gets accused of skin bleaching or wearing blonde hair to look white? Y’all never do it with anybody else yet first in line to accuse Beyoncé of using bleach cause you’re too stupid to know how color theory/lighting works

Let’s discuss, Beyoncé has the right to be whatever skin tone she wants. The argument isn’t did she or didn’t she (have you ever seen how ashy someone is when they bleach?) the argument is why are you not minding your business. It’s her life. Find a new hero if you’re so pissed. https://t.co/tFfP58skGB
