London, Feb 17 (ANI): Singer Beyonce Knowles is said to have looked almost unrecognizable while shopping in Hollywood recently with her newly bleach-blonde hair and a fairer skin tone.
Beyonce, 29, whose skin looked much lighter than usual, was seen wearing a pair of 635 pounds jade suede Daffodile heels by Christian Louboutin.
An expert has claimed that, while the change in skin tone could be a trick of the light, it could also be the result of Knowles bleaching her skin.
"The most effective skin-lightening agents are hydroquinone and kojic acid, creams which patients apply to the skin," the Daily Mail quoted Dr Sunil Chopra, a consultant dermatologist at the London Dermatology Centre, as saying.
"The effects are temporary and work by inhibiting the enzyme ... responsible for the skin's pigment. Both are very popular. I see maybe three people every week who want this procedure.
"But it cannot be used over the whole body. It is very unlikely she has had her skin bleached in this way," he stated. (ANI)

Well, she has been looking a bit 'light bright-ish' lately. I just read that Vanity Fair may have lightened up her photos in a spread she recently did for their magazine.....but that still doesn't explain why she looks the way she does on the streets of Hollywood and at the Grammy's this past Sunday night. She just looks so old with that lightened hair color and that bare face.
