For most fashionistas, bodysuits went out with Hypercolor shirts back in the 80s. However, Sasha Fierce, Beyonce's alter ego, has brought back this 80s classic Wayfarer-style.

This promotional shot is for "I Am... Sasha Fierce," which drops in U.S. stores on November 18. Check out the other images from the shoot in the gallery.

**Implications** - Modern workout fashion emphasizes our renewed focus on health and wellness, and the bodysuits of the 1980s align well with this theme. These fitness-focused bodysuits show off the wearer's attention to exercise. Skin-tight bodysuits and pants-free outfits found a new audience in the past year as celebrities like Lady Gaga and Beyonce wore them onstage and during press appearances.
