Beyonce stunned fans with a brand new look during the premiere of her highly anticipated "Renaissance World Tour" concert film, but there were some who felt like she was "whitewashing" herself.
According to reports, the "Halo" singer showed up at the premiere with platinum blonde hair and a body-hugging silver gown paired with gloves, which is in line with the themes of both the tour as well as Beyonce's chart-topping, award-winning album "Renaissance."

"Beyonce is trying to be a white woman," another added.
The criticisms has reached Beyonce and her team-and most especially her mother slash manager Tina Knowles, who decided to take to social media to put the haters in their place.
