Beyoncé for L'Officiel

Beyoncé will leave no magazine cover bereft of her face and as she gets ready to release her new record you better get used to it. Beyoncé covers the magazine’s extra-important 90th anniversary issue. The shoot is Beyoncé and L’Officiel‘s tribute to Fela Kuti, the Nigerian musician and human rights activist whose music inspired Beyoncé’s upcoming album. A statement from the magazine explains: Far from the glamorous Sasha Fierce, the beauty posed for the magazine with amazing fashion designers clothes, but also in a dress created by her mother. [It is] A return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened.
