Tia Mowry Trolls fans with pantsuit for ‘Freakum Dress’ trend
Tia Mowry has her own interpretation of it Beyonce‘s ‘Freakum Dress’ – and she doesn’t care what you think.
Two years ago, the 45-year-old actress took to TikTok to share a video of herself getting ready while listening to Beyoncé’s 2006 hit, which features the Grammy winner, 42, encouraging listeners to put on their flirtiest dress , especially one that is ‘short and backless’. However, Mowry opted for a deconstructed blazer with a strapless neckline and wide-leg pants.
The video resurfaced earlier this week, with fans teasing Mowry for doing the trend “wrong” via Twitter. “That’s not a freakum dress,” one social media user wrote. Mowry, however, did not let the comments get to her. Instead, she doubled down and posted a new video on Tuesday, November 7, showing her in a different pair of pants.
“Did you hear you guys were talking about me on Twitter, haven’t you guys ever heard of a ‘freakum’ pantsuit?” Mowry captioned an Instagram video that showed her in a white lace dress as Beyoncé’s tune played in the background. The ensemble included an embroidered blazer with high-waisted bottoms and sheer fabric.
Mowry’s followers praised the look, with one fan taking to the comments section to write: ‘She said let me try again. I love this!!!”
A second social media user wrote: “A freakum pantsuit is wild but this is fire,” while a third added: “This suit is EVERYTHING!!!!”
Mowry opened up exclusively We weekly about the viral moment on Thursday, November 9, while promoting her new JCPenney partnership that introduces the #PennyPrepperChallenge, a new social media challenge to encourage holiday guests to share how they purchase all their party supplies for under $300.

Mowry continued, “I’d like to move forward with love and compassion, so I thought, ‘Let me just recreate this video.'”
