Beyonce in Harper's Bazaar UK
Beyoncé is the epitome of sex appeal; a beautiful, multi-talented and dynamic performer, she exudes effortless glamour and inspires women with her powerful self-confidence. Who better to star as the cover girl for Harper's Bazaar's supersized Strictly Sexy September issue? The Bootylicious diva smoulders in catwalk showstoppers by Armani, Hermès, Lanvin and Alaïa for Bazaar's red hot 6-page shoot, as photographed by Alexi Lubomirski. As she approaches her 30th birthday on 4 September, Beyoncé talks exclusively to Bazaar about the next chapter of her life as she "transitions as a woman". She also talks feminism, performing in Egypt and reveals all of the thrills of working with Lady Gaga for Telephone, enthusing "She’s not afraid. I love that. She wanted me to do something crazy, and so I just rolled with it." And of her blossoming friendship with celebrity domestic goddess Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyoncé says "She pushes her boundaries all the time. You go to her house and she makes you feel like you never want to go home. She is what I strive to be one day." Harper's Bazaar is on sale from Saturday 6 August.
