Beyoncé Does ‘The New York Observer Style’ Magazine
Beyoncé is featured on the cover and in the pages of the PREMIERE issue of The New York Observer Style magazine which will make its debut on newsstands on November 19. I’ve been given the opportunity to preview the mag’s inaugural cover and photospread featuring Beyoncé herself. Here is B’s coverphoto and some tidbits from her interview with the magazine:
Beyoncé has a new album, a new jewelry line and a new challenge playing Etta James. The presumptive Mrs. Jay Z is featured on the cover for the premiere issue of The New York Observer Style magazine, out on newsstands, November 19th, wearing a vintage Carolina Herrera gown. In person at the Soho Grand hotel, she looked young and fresh faced with minimal make-up and her signature white James Perse t-shirt (”my uniform, she said, “seriously, I have like 50 of them.”) as she talked with The New York Observer Style, Beyoncé gushed about her mom, Tina Knowles, who owned a hair salon and the advice she gave her to personalize her clothes without spending too much money. It is from Tina Knowles that she derives her personal sense of style.
On her mom: “I looked at her like a therapist and a makeover queen – the perfect glamorous smart woman. People would walk in, talk to her and tell her their issues and they’d walk out feeling and looking like a new woman.” Tina taught her daughter the importance of being creative; how you didn’t necessarily need a lot of money to make style statements. “She’d get us little jackets and we’d go to an art supply store and we’d get stones and glitter and we’d personalize a lot of our clothes,” Beyoncé said. “… she taught me the importance of looking good and feeling good but also that beauty comes from within. Because it fades.”
On her own style: “I’m an accessories queen. I collect a lot of vintage jewelry – a lot of vintage Chanel. I love it because you know no one else has it. Sometimes I don’t even wear it – I just like to look at it. I will love always the cut from 1940’s. Because I’m a curvy woman, that’s the best silhouette on my body. There are certain things I can do but I have to show my waistline and stick to things that look good on my body. I know what looks good on me and I think that’s half the battle.”
After the jump, check out one of the photos of Beyoncé that will be featured in the premiere issue of The New York Observer Style …
That’s a sassy beehive she’s rockin’, ain’t it? Or should we call it a Beyhive? It looks like this new mag is pulling out all the stops to make a splash in the magazine world. It remains to be seen if B will be able to help the magazine get off to a successful launch but I think I’ll be picking up this magazine on the 19th to see what it’s all about.

I just, I don’t know… ever since that Sasha Fierce thing… I just can’t stand the sight of this woman lately. You what Beyonce needs? She needs a good old fashion Britney-esqe meltdown in order to ground that soaring ego of hers. I’d love to see what see looks like bald.

what beyonce doesn’t know is how to NOT wear animal fur or NOT use it in fashion.
