Working with Vintage
This green dress, purchased from a vintage collection in New York, was the only dress that wasn't an original of Johnetta Boone's. The dress was reshaped to fit on Beyonce's curves. "She put on a few pounds so she wouldn't be seen as 'glam Beyonce' and more like her character," says Boone. The green color was chosen purposely to coordinate with the felt on the pool table, which Boone says symbolizes money.
