Beyoncé & Ed Sheeran’s Live Duet Outfits Spark Outrage, Memes

121

Beyoncé and Ed Sheeran have finally united onstage for a rendition of their sometimes-duet ‘Perfect’, but all the internet seems to be talking about is what they were wearing.

Taking to the stage at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 in Johannesburg, South Africa earlier this week, Queen Bey belted out the ballad while swathed in a huge ruffly fuchsia couture gown, next to the gingernut crooner, clad in an ultra casual tee-jeans-n-sneakers combo.

The social media reaction has unsurprisingly been swift and fierce, with many having a big ol’ LOL at the pair’s comically contrasting gettups:

PB = PB || {};
gptAds = PB.gptAds || {};
var opts = {“asBool”:false,”adUnit”:”/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros”,”adDiv”:”ros_300x250_p_slot7″,”sizeStr”:”[[300, 250]]”,”mapping”:[{“viewport”:”[0, 0]”,”sizes”:”[]”},{“viewport”:”[750, 0]”,”sizes”:”[[300, 250]]”},{“viewport”:”[980, 0]”,”sizes”:”[[300, 250]]”}],”targeting”:{“pos”:”P”,”content_detail”:”0″,”kw”:”in-article”,”coppa”:”0″,”site”:”musicfeeds_intl”},”resize”:false,”autoRefresh”:false};
PB.waitForAS = (opts.asBool) ? true : PB.waitForAS || false;

PB.evGPTBuilder.enqueueAd(opts);

PB = PB || {};
PB.gptStandAlone = PB.gptStandAlone || {};
PB.gptAutoRefresh = PB.gptAutoRefresh || {‘gptAds’:[], ‘gptStandAlone’:[]};

googletag.cmd.push(function() {
var standAloneSizeMapping = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([0, 0], [[300, 250]]).addSize([750, 0], []).addSize([980, 0], []).build(); PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1544231972’] = googletag.defineSlot(‘/4403/ev/musicfeeds_intl/ros’, [[300, 250]], ‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1544231972’)
.defineSizeMapping(standAloneSizeMapping) .addService(googletag.pubads())
.setTargeting(‘pos’, ‘A’).setTargeting(‘content_detail’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘kw’, ‘in-article-mobile’).setTargeting(‘coppa’, ‘0’).setTargeting(‘site’, ‘musicfeeds_intl’);
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display(‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1544231972’);
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone[‘pb_prebidjs_300x250_a_1544231972’]]);

});

However, it’s also sparked plenty of legitimate outrage about the standards society expects from men vs women when it comes to their appearance:

Addressing the backlash, Sheerio has since reposted an article on his Instagram story entitled, “People Are Angry Ed Sheeran Wore a Shirt while Beyoncé Wore Couture During their Global Citizen Performance”.

“Swipe up to ‘get the look,” Ed wrote, adding the cheeky hashtag, #dresstoimpress.

While the number of cultural think-pieces on this topic continues to multiply, you can watch footage of the pair’s actual performance below.
