Tia Mowry has her unique take on Beyoncé's "Freakum Dress" and she couldn't care less about your opinion.
In a TikTok video from two years ago, the 45-year-old actress showcased her preparation routine while enjoying Beyoncé's popular 2006 song. The track, with its Grammy-winning artist encouraging people to embrace their sexiest attire, preferably a short and backless dress. However, Mowry diverged from the norm by choosing a deconstructed blazer with a strapless neckline and wide-leg pants.
The video went viral again earlier this week, prompting fans on Twitter to criticize Mowry for not following the trend correctly. One social media user commented, saying, "That's not a freakum dress." However, Mowry chose not to let these comments affect her. Instead, she responded by posting a new video on Tuesday, November 7, showcasing herself wearing a different outfit, consisting of pants.
In the Instagram video's caption, Mowry addressed the online discussions about her, while introducing her followers to the concept of a "freakum" pantsuit. She wore a white lace ensemble with an embroidered blazer and high-waisted bottoms, made from see-through fabric, all while Beyoncé's music played in the background.

Mowry spoke exclusively to We about the viral moment on Thursday, November 9. She was promoting her new JCPenney partnership that introduces the #PennyPrepperChallenge, a social media challenge designed to inspire holiday hosts to share their techniques for buying party supplies under $300.
Tia Mowry, known for her presence on TikTok, expressed her surprise at fans bringing back a TikTok clip from two years ago. She humorously mentioned that she decided to make fun of herself as a way to respond. Mowry added that she is currently in a mindset of not taking things too seriously.
