Photographed by Santiago & Mauricio and styled by Lysa Cooper, Beyonce is seen rocking a Marilyn Monroe-esque bob draped with pearls and a sultry look that whispers "come hither". It's a no-brainer as to why Aaron Hicklin, Out magazine's editor in chief, picked her to represent 'POWER'.
The Grammy Award winning singer, who recently wrapped up her Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, is the embodiment of what it means to be powerful. Perfect example is when she released her self-titled video album late last year bypassing the traditional marketing tactics and still managed to top the charts as well as break record sales. She had newspapers, magazines and pretty much all of social media re-writing their top 100 lists because they had to factor her in! She took the world by storm and you can't expect anything less from a Boss. She’s poised, she’s commanding, and she does it all at her own pace.
"I’d like to believe that my music opened up that conversation," she says when asked about creating her most sexually liberated album to date. "There is unbelievable power in ownership, and women should own their sexuality. There is a double standard when it comes to sexuality that still persists. Men are free and women are not. That is crazy. The old lessons of submissiveness and fragility made us victims. Women are so much more than that. You can be a businesswoman, a mother, an artist, and a feminist—whatever you want to be—and still be a sexual being. It’s not mutually exclusive."
Who run the world!? Two snaps for Mrs. Carter!
