Alicia n Beyonce in African Wax Print A.K.A Ankara

Beyonce and Alicia Keys collaborated in Rio De Janiero, Brazil to shot their new video "Put In The Love Song". They are filmed near the Christ the Redemeer Statue and in a nearby favela.

First and foremost I think the song is freaking elementary, I expected much mored from the both of them put together..c’mon now A.Keys and Bey on one song and this is the best you could come up with??? My personal opinion but I do have high hopes for the video…it looks good

Anyways that aside Both ladies look fab. Love both Bey and Alicia.
Ooo whats that I se them wearing?? that’s straight up West African material (Ankara is what we call it) make it into jumpsuit, dresses, anything…! You can get  those for like 5-20 pounds for 6 yards and you can get someone to make these same pieces for way cheaper! I thought Solange Knowles ( Beyonces sis) was the stylist for the video since she loves these African wears.

Sorry to burst your excited bubbles but I doubt Bey and A.Keys  ordered their materials from Lagos or Accra lol its the “carnival” style ensembles with obvious african print look to be from  Boxing kitten.com ( http://www.boxingkitten.com/ )

Interesting that they’ve used West African fabric and added a twist with the cut, but then again historically there is a strong African (Nigerian) presence in Brazil and influence on culture so it’s not too far a stretch. I guess it kinda makes sense that they wear these attires since Africa's history is kind of entwined with Brazil.

Can just see that look getting swagger jacked come summer.
Check out the pictures below ad the new single if you haven’t heard it xxx

what is your point exactely they used african material to create siomething of their own. i think they are trying to promote african wear rather than the usual material worn here it could be the new fashion
