This is kind of silly. It's clearly a nod to his work, she doesn't have to ask permission to make a reference to his art.

Also, too little too late. The tour is already wrapped up and the film is done. What's the point of bringing this up now? It's giving I Need Attention.

Literally nothing about his work is original.  This is all ripped from the film Metropolis.  At this point no one can claim originality for the female robot figure.

I was gonna say: unless Fritz Lang rose from the dead to call out Beyoncé, nobody can really claim this image

Why go after Beyoncé ? She has a team of creatives behind her who collaborate with her so I’m sure she wouldn’t have known if the designs were or were not original ? Some people just find the smallest thing to hate on her it’s actually sad :lmao:

oh god, it's not about being original or about the Metropolis movie, it's about the exact design of his work that she used without his permission :flop: even the nipples are identical :emma:

I could play the moderator, I can ban you, die sis.

Blahwhatever22

Why is he acting brand new?? This look has been replicated many times before by other artists. Not only that but this is not even the first time Beyonce has done this aesthetic

This silhouette has been used so many times in fashion and pop culture tho (Beyoncé, Gaga, Mugler). Mugler used this silhouette in a 1995 fashion show and even designed one of the robotic looks for the Renaissance tour

Can’t find any evidence of that and both are clearly derivative of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis.

So did they cut checks to Fritz Lang’s estate for making art based on his film or are they expecting Beyonce to walk a walk that they themselves didn’t?

I do think whoever designed this for Beyoncé saw their work, the ear antenna and boobs give it away being an almost exact match but at the same time his work isn't exactly original either.
