It’s a global deal again. Also the British cover.

WHAT IN THE WORLD… the hair, omg

 

[WinstonH20]

Oh no. She looks like Trisha Paytas.

The war on good wigs rages on!

The shoot isn't good, but there are several better cover options than this.

 

[thiago:)]

Terrible cover. I'm quite surprised she allowed Katie Grand to style it, though.

 

[mikel]

Horrible

 

[tomtakesphotos]

selling the jewelry and her brand of whisky?

 

[DK92]

TRAGIC! The "hair", the Photoshop merging her wig with the logo, so amateur...

And there were even members here who said that Beyoncé would never wear a wig like Rihanna wore in the Dior campaign. Nothing like one day after another!

No way Katie Grand styled this must be a joke it is so so amateurish , unrealeased photos from CowBoy Carter would have done the job

I guess her appearance is intentional just to promote her two brands. You know that Beyoncé doesn't do anything for free: CÉCRED and Sir Davis for the promo. However, I agree that all the hairstyles from this editorial are not good, which is surprising from Beyoncé and her team.

I assume GQ didn’t mind because they got what they wanted: an interview with her, which is quite a rare thing.

 

[SanderGreen]

One of the tackiest mainstream covers i have ever seen.

You can always count on Beyoncé to lower the bar…

 

[tigerrouge]

It's not kitsch enough to be entertaining, it's not smooth enough to be glamorous and desirable, and it's too literal to offer any sort of ironic commentary on a celebrity being a billboard.

 

[Lola701]

Even her beauty can’t save that ugly Dolly Parton wig.
The Art Direction is very amateur too.

Why Miss Grand and not George Cortina?

Seriously, why should an entertainer be on the cover of magazines, if it’s not to promote something?

 

[Yasouss]

Bad cover aside, it's just all too literal: ok she is promoting her hair products and her whisky but it's just right there with no fantasy or elevation. Even the miniature version of her with the cowboy hat for her last album is just all so in your face and obvious with no imagination. The dress is also just plain in the worse way and adds nothing to the overall already bland image...

 

[Alquimista]

So cheap

 

[plentyofhorns]

between this wig and Rihanna’s on the new Dior perfume ads, we need some new hair talent lol

 

[onlooker]

The hair should've been kept in the back of the logo.

 

[Gary89]

it is amazing how vulgar and arrogant she has become as her solo career progressed. She actually had some nice covers back at the beginning of her solo career like W, Elle and Allure. It shows what happens when creative control is lost to the subject and a weak team are used.
