TbH i don´t like her transformation. It is so much overdone, so much of trash and showing herself in a way that seems to be over the world. I don´t believe her to play this ,,i am normal and shy girl,, anymore.
I prefer her as a persons aswell her fashion style years back.
This new Beyonce seems to be much more comfortable with herself, and ironically less contrived.
It seems like such a natural step for her, after becoming a mother, a wife, and progressing in her career she is at a spot where she can let her hair down and do what she wants, even if it includes being a bit more freaky and daring. Before she was much more calculated about her actions and striving to be perfect. She would always be polite, stay in line, watch what she does, stay clear of scandals, plan her moves in advance and take precautions.
Not to say she doesn't do so now, she still keeps her morals and precautions in mind, she cares about her legacy and what she stands for, arguably more than any other pop star out there today, but she seems more free and willing to share more.
When you think of Beyonce, you think of something out of this world, that's why she's Beyonce and that gives her that extra oomph that us mortals don't have, I can't think of Beyonce as a "shy and normal average woman", she lives an amazing life, a fantasy really, and when she does show that she does things like any other human being, that's a shocking in itself.
She has shown great progression in her music and her you can see why based on what we know about her life thanks to her celebrity status. It's easy to tie in some credibility and depth to the music she delivers.
