Form-fitting?

This is what I make of it:

"You know what you would look fabulous in Beyoncé?", in a booming ***-like voice, "Something a little more form-fitting I think for you. Pleats are so out", he'll say.

I am not 100% sure of this. The audio quality is poor in places; "Beyoncé" is very hard to make out and could be completely wrong. I also have no idea what the "pleats" reference is abou

Thanks! Please can you also explain "form-fitting"?

Here I understand it to mean fitting closely to the shape of the wearer's body (used of clothing).

Thanks!

Form-fitting clothes are clothes that seem to be painted on the body! They are very tight clothes that reveal the shape of the body as completely as possible without causing the wearer to be arrested for indecency!

Actually, there are degrees of "form-fitting", some of which are not as tight as I descr

Thanks! Would that also entail the clothes being thin?

Mr. Wordy, I also think it's Beyoncé. I think the "pleats" reference was used for the joke as a contrast to a slinky, form-fitting dress - pleats are associated pretty strongly with school uniforms and other prim attire, and while we all know there are people who dig that schoolgirl look, it's not generally considered ****.

Right, thanks Delmobile. I wondered if there was some specific topicality to do with Beyoncé and pleats.

I didn't even think about that, but a quick Google seems to indicate that there is indeed an association with Beyonce and pleats. This particular frock manages to be both form-fitting and pleated:
