It’s Britney Bitch!

Britney Spears spoke to our friends over at Vogue exclusively about her new campaign with Paris clothing line “Kenzo”. She has one not-so-fond memory of the 1980s. “I used to wear big bows on top of my head,” she says on the eve of the debut of her first luxury fashion campaign (it’s hard to believe there’s something she hasn’t done). “I mean, ugly was the way to go in the ’80s, it was all just completely obnoxious—but there was also something so refreshing about that and the fact that we didn’t care what anyone thought about our clothes.” When Spears was approached by Kenzo’s creative directors, Carol Lim and Humberto Leon, about becoming the face of the label’s second nostalgia-based La Collection Momento for Spring 2018(a tribute to the debut of Kenzo Jeans in 1986), she was excited by the prospect of bringing back that loud, no-holds-barred, ’80s attitude.

The bright campaign was shot on location in Paris by Peter Lindbergh and features pieces like a cropped denim jacket, thigh-high lace-up boots, and a sweatshirt and baseball hat stamped with a throwback version of the original Kenzo logo. “This collection is very youthful,” says Spears. “We had fun on set, even though it was a bit weird for me at first. I am used to shooting in a studio or a small space, and this was out on the street. We were out there and I had really promiscuous clothes on, which felt odd, but, of course, on film it turned out to be really cool.”

Let us not forget that Spears is a 36-year-old working mom of two. The days of schoolgirl miniskirts and red vinyl catsuits are far behind her, and she tends to gravitate toward more practical, bohemian-inspired clothing, mostly in a palette of soft ivory and white. “It’s tricky because as a mother, you don’t take as much risk with your style,” she says. “I think when I was younger I took so many risks and really went for it. There was no planning what I wore, and it was like, okay, I am just going to put on the most outrageous thing. I think as a mother you hold back from that out of fear of embarrassing your kids and out of respect for them.”

When Spears is home with her boys, Sean and Jayden, she is “in a nightgown most of the time.” And while she may not be wearing things like meat dresses or thongs on the red carpet, she does say that “there is something very courageous about the younger generation just wearing whatever they want all the time, but I don’t know if I could do it at this point. I think I would go and hide under a rug or something, because I’ve been dressing a certain way the past 15 years and I wouldn’t know how to react to a big change.”

Luckily the Kenzo campaign has given Spears a new outlook on embracing more playfulness in her current wardrobe. And playfulness, after all, is something that comes naturally to her—just watch one of her incredible Instagram videos featuring her own idiosyncratic version of a runway walk. The giant hair bows might be long gone, but Spears is not afraid to step out of her comfort zone and get experimental. And her sons sometimes give her the confidence she needs to mix things up. Watching them wear things that clash or have wild prints, she says, is “intoxicating because you are like, You know what? I’m not going to care what I wear today.” She adds, “As a mother, I used to be very strict about what they wore, but, at this point, they are growing up and becoming their own people. I want them to do their own thing—I respect that.”

I’m seriously at that point where I wanna knock a bitch out every time I have to see comments about her face, lol, if you can’t tell that is Britney by looking at the picture, you need your eyes examined, has she had work done...obviously, do pictures get photoshopped...obviously, but it still looks like her.

 

Some fans are acting as if it’s a completely different person, it’s not!!!

Why so angry with other people's views? I do not get it tbh. And stop with these " you need your eyes examined" kind of comments, they all use the same words. I find it too photoshopped and yes, she looks way different and it is not for the age. I have accepted  her changes as long as she is happy with herself but I am still free to say that she looks way different in some pics. Just compare with other pics if you can't see the differences. I did not say she ain't beautiful, just different.

She looks so GORGEOUS, so good.

 

 

P.s. i wanna come for the photoshop police out there! Them bitches think no profesional photo gets retouched. Fuck them and their insecure,  jealous asses! giphy.gif

 

Tbh. What I think is happening is they haven't been following anything with Britney and they're shocked to discover she no longer looks like her 17 year old self, which is the only Britney they remember.

 

That being said, Kenzo could've toned down on the photoshop a little, but I think she looks great overall. That body of hers!

Here in Finland they wrought articles about how fans don't recognise her? I guess what they really meant was the ones who only listened to her in the early 2000's

It just gets irritating after awhile, cuz some fans seem to have an obsession over it, can’t look at a picture without bring up her face. She still looks beautiful, that’s all that should matter. Honestly, the problem isn’t even this forum it’s the other one, I don’t like the fans that mock her and are nasty and mean about it.

 

Plus, I admit my nerves were frazzled to begin with, it’s the third day of spring and I now have to go shovel my car out of a foot of snow, so I definitely took my anger out and I apologize for that, lol

Omg my bf is stuck in NYC because of snow (even though their area didn’t get nearly what was predicted). I used to live in Pittsburgh and my friends from there were sharing photos of the first day of spring - snow everywhere haha.

I’ve seen a few articles on American sites about this as well. I knew from the first photo it would happen. Some are too heavily photoshopped and you know what, Britney’s face has changed, whether that’s through just age or a combination of that and plastic surgery! But even without surgery - her face was going to change, people! lol

Even though she has got some fillers here and there, you can't expect someone's face to remain the same after 15-20 years. She is not a vampire :getout:

There isn't much photoshop, in terms of retouching her appearance, since you can even see the freckles in her stomach in some of the pictures. Plus make up trends nowadays are different, and the style and the whole concept for this campaign is very different from other photoshoots she's done in the past.

 

God, we even have some clips from the photoshoot where you can see her just like we see her in the actual pictures. What else do you need?  :wyd:
