Women in RnB usually have very little clothing on and their stomachs are on show a majority of the time; this is because to male fans they are meant to be seen as objects of desire, the male gaze.
Their hair is always styled in a very dramatic and eye catching way. Their makeup is also very bold and defined, especially their eyes, particularly dark coloured eye shadows with golds which makes their eyes very alluring. To show power some females wear red lipstick in their music videos.
Female RnB artists also tend to wear very high heels to elongate their legs because if they are wearing hardly any clothes the higher the shoes the longer their legs will look. However some RnB females wear trainers in their videos for choreographed scenes. For example; Beyoncé dances wearing heals in her single ladies music video:
Big earrings, necklaces and watches are always worn by females RnB artists. But usually when they wear a lot of necklaces they are breaking gender stereotypes because it is usually RnB males that wear copious amounts of jewellery. An example of an RnB female artist wearing jewellery is this picture of Keri Hilson.
