Beyoncé Knowles denies that she has a weight problem. There has been buzz that the singer has put on a few pounds after recent photos of her more rounded figure have gotten out.
The Bootylicious singer was seen wearing a Thierry Mugler dress in the streets of New York to film a promotional video for her tour. The dress sparked a slew of unflattering comments.
At her defence, her spokesperson told UsMagazine.com, "This is not a weight-gain issue. Beyoncé is in the best shape of her life. The exaggerated hips are a design element of a truly couture dress. Beyoncé has always loved this dress."
The star radically changed her figure on two occasions for film. She had to gain weight to play Etta James in Cadillac Records, and also had to follow a strict diet to play Deena Jones in Dreamgirls.
