Britney Spears: ‘Femme Fatale’

Britney Spears opened her new ‘Femme Fatale’ tour in Sacramento on Thursday with this number inspired by Marilyn’s famous ‘upskirt scene’ from The Seven Year Itch. reporting for MTV, Nicole James was starstruck:

“Britney’s channeled Marilyn before (see: her super sexy 2003 cover of Esquire magazine), and we have to say it totally works for her…Sometimes all you need is a simple white dress…paired with fishnets and black stiletto boots, obvs.”

However, Carla Meyer of the Sacramento Bee thinks Britney’s allure is more girl-next-door than Hollywood goddess:

“Spears spent the first part of the show illustrating the ‘Femme Fatale’ theme of her tour — which kicked off in Sacramento — by wearing shiny bikinis, a 1940s-inspired gold cape and a billowing skirt a la Marilyn Monroe’s in “The Seven Year Itch.”

After she changed into rhinestone-studded Daisy Dukes for ‘Baby One More Time’, the difference was remarkable.

Though Spears performed like a pro throughout the show, hitting all her marks, she had shown hesitancy in her movements – natural for the first stop on a tour. But that hesitancy vanished when she put on the denim. She seemed at ease.

The Louisiana’s native’s sexiness has always been more good ol’ gal than femme fatale.”
