Thierry Mugler Saves Beyonce from Wardrobe Malfunction!

Beyonce has named French Fashion legend Thierry Mugler the Creative Director of her upcoming  world tour.   Mugler who is best known for his extreme corseted couture and ready-to-wear looks will not only wardrobe the chanteuse - (he has designed approx. 60 looks for the tour), but also take charge of lighting, staging, and directing film segments for the show.    This is what really got Mugler interested in the project - as his passion is behind the camera.   He famously directed George Michael's "Too Funky" video that had tongues wagging and pushed limits in the Technicolor orgy that Thierry calls home.   For "Too Funky" he cast super models and superstars of drag and performance art such as Joey Arias.  To see the video - "Too Funky"

Mugler has been off the runway for at least 5 years - focusing on directing his Angel fragrance campaign and the costuming of the Cirque show Zoomanity in Las Vegas.   His designs were always a no-brainer for stage performers due to the dramatic proportions.  Diana Ross incorporated Mugler's Mens Purple Jackets in her stage show for years. 

Beyonce is a stunning beauty and a natural choice for his corseted frocks - we can only imagine what he will whip up for Beyonce's famous curves.   Her hourglass figure filled the vintage Mugler scorcher in all the right places in this photo!  The singer said she became interested in Mugler after seeing the exhibit at the MET's Costume Exhibit with a Superhero that featured several of Thierry's creations.   The back story is also that Beyonce wants to play Wonder Woman on the big screen.   I'm sure she is thinking of Thierry to help her do that costume justice!

Now if we could only convince Beyonce to stop wearing those dreadful House of Dereon dresses her mother Tina designs for her.   Every time she wears one of the bedazzled gowns she is a disaster from the waist down.   The red carpets missteps have led some to call it "House of Derierre" among other things.  Super Thierry to the rescue!!
