I don´t care about her but I really like this, not so much the styling but hair & makeup and her expression.

 

[Srdjan]

Not my type of styling, but she looks good! Great face & hair.
I prefer this to the British cover, and it's definitely better than her September Vogue cover.

 

[Miss Dalloway]

Feels like one of their older covers, i feel lately they been going easy on all the text so its strange to see this again! However its a strong image of her, and i like the cover.

 

[Wintergreen]

That hair... didn't know she had converted to Pastafarianism.

 

[MON]

This is stunning! I love the simplicity!

 

[TeeVanity]

Impeccable, that's why they call her Queen Bee.

 

[justaguy]

Not a fan of Beyonce at all, but kinda like this.

 

[GlamVal]

I love her face. I hate that wig

What does that mean exactly? Please... enlighten me?

I'm sorry, but I am thoroughly confused by your remark. Her hair isn't great but I don't see how this curly hair - a clear element of the Flashdance reference - is related to what you are implying, negatively I must add.

I am surprised she's granted her first interview in years to Elle, not even Vogue could get a word out of her for their September issue.

I do like the cover!! Way better then her September Vogue cover. I'm sure the interview is boring because she usually bores me.

She probably be wearing her new Top Shop clothing line. Look like it.

I guess that Vogue cover was more about prestige, whereas with Elle she could get a worldwide cover deal and appear on more than one issue to promote the new line. I assume an exclusive interview was what they wanted from her.

It seems to me that Vogue needed her more than she needed it last September, but this time with Elle she had to seek a promotional channel that works best for her and had to compensate.

 

[Anna147]

I love it! Strong and beautiful!

 

[dfl-001]

The right side of her body doesn't match the left side and her right arm looks like its been mangled.
Would they just please stop with the obscene photo shop.
People complain about unrealistic images in magazines,and then they do this!

I agree with this reasoning! If she wouldn't oblige to an exclusive, Elle would just move on to someone else with their 110 edition deal. And they don't seem to be too bothered to book the cream of the crop. Vogue on the other hand seemed in dire need to cover her.

I like the shot, I think it is very striking even though I cannot abide Beyonce. I suppose we must just make peace with the fact that Elle will never really have a proper hf cover. This middle-of-the-road street style is getting old fast!

 

[Nepenthes]

Yesss Bey! This looks flawless and I'm so excited for her new album. If Formation was the beginning I can't even imagine the amount of epicness that's on the way!

 

[jal718]

Horrible

 

[RanThe]

It weird that they're releasing the May issue so early when Kerry's issue has been on newsstands for 2 weeks. Also does it look like they went back to their old magazine size?

 

[Aoedele]

That woman can't take a bad picture, it's impossible how beautiful she is. And that body? Dayum!
