After an outfit when terribly bad and rumors began circulating that she has gained weight, Beyonce's rep is firing back at critics.
Beyonce, 27, was recently photographed in NYC (Mar 8.) for her I ... Am tour in a Thierry Mugler couture dress. Online bloggers blast the R&B star's curves, calling her deformed.
According to her rep, the dress -- which was originally designed for Jerry Hall -- is to blame.
"This is not a weight-gain issue," her rep tells US Magazine. "Beyonce is in the best shape of her life. The exaggerated hips are a design element of a truly couture dress. Beyonce has always loved this dress."
A rep for designer Mugler tells US Magazine that the waist on Hall's dress was 23 inches and was reduced to 19 for Beyonce.
Says the Mugler rep, "The padded hips intentionally focus attention to the waist."
Beyonce kicks off a world tour in the spring.
