Beyoncé's red dress, cleavage-baring pose, and body positioning in a magazine cover are meant to portray her as a sexy celebrity who appeals to male audiences. Typical features of R&B magazine covers include highlighting well-known artists with elite status against plain backgrounds to make them stand out as non-average people. Colors, shots, and poses are deliberately chosen to convey sensual, wealthy, and subtly dangerous representations of female R&B artists to their target demographics.
