Michelle Obama and others pay tribute to Beyonce; solicit donations for Hurricane Harvey’s relief effort


Former US  first lady and 17 other women united for a special tribute on Beyoncé’s official website, with each woman recreating the same iconic look from the singer’s “Formation” music video.

Tennis star (and new mom) Serena Williams and Beyoncé’s former Destiny’s Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland also participated in the tribute, as did Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy Carter, mom Tina Knowles Lawson, husband JAY-Z’s mom, Gloria Carter, and his grandmother, Hattie White.

In the striking black and white photo collection, each woman is sporting a look similar to Beyoncé’s in her “Formation” video.

Wearing black dresses, ornate necklaces and braided pigtails, the women are pictured bowing their heads beneath wide-brimmed black hats, shielding their eyes as Beyoncé did in the video from her visual album “Lemonade“.

 

But the project is more than just an homage to Beyoncé. Another message urges fans to donate to relief efforts for people affected by Hurricane Harvey in the singer’s hometown of Houston.

The message, which uses the hashtag #BEYGOODHOUSTON, includes a link to a separate page where supporters can donate to two non-profit organizations in Houston, Bread of Life and the Greater Houston Community Foundation.


“Join us as the BeyGOOD team heads to Houston to continue our relief efforts on the ground,” a statement on the page reads. “We have teamed up with Bread of Life, Greater Houston Community Foundation, and Texas Southern University, all of whom have been working with the displaced from the start of Hurricane Harvey’s landfall.
Your donations will help in long-term revitalization and aid in purchasing immediate needs including cots, blankets and pillows, baby products, feminine products, wheelchairs and more.”
