Singersroom blog and L’Officiel Paris’ tells us that Pop/R&B superstar Beyonce has been tapped to cover fashion magazine L’Officiel Paris’ March 2011 issue. In the photoshoot, Beyonce channels an African Queen.“The Fashion magazine is about to celebrate its 90th birthday. To celebrate this anniversary, the festivities start with the March issue, with Beyoncé on the cover. She agreed to pose for an incredible fashion shoot, with the theme of African Queen, paying a tribute to the legendary Nigerian musician Fela Kuti (a political singer who died in 1997).
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. A return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened. All the pictures will be available in the collector edition, on sale at the end of this month.”
I grew up listening to Fela's music as a child in Nigeria. I do have a problem with the blackface part but the pink headgear reminds me of what I wore to my cousin's 2006 wedding. She needs more African outfits.
