Another day, another Beyonce post. Our girl graces the cover and inside pages of the November issue of InStyle Magazine. She looks absolutely stunning in all of the shots and the interview includes details about her favorite designers of the moment as well as her style icons.
Here are a few quotes from the issue:
On her style icons: "Charlize Theron is always beautiful and feminine. I love her couture looks and dramatic silhouette. Halle Berry is elegant and sophisticated. I love that in the seventies Cher and Diana Ross looked like superstars and never played it safe. When they were onstage, they gave you drama--and I love drama."
On her designer obsessions: "Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier are two designers I love right now. Their clothes are feminine, sexy and modern. I just went to the Giuseppe Zanotti showroom, and he had the most spectacular shoes. It was like being in a candy store--I was obsessed with every shoe! Right now, I love anything with a high platform."
Must-Have Accessory: "I'm not dressed unless I have earrings on, like big hoops. I've always worn big earrings. Off the red carpet, I don't really feel comfortable with many rings and bracelets on. I love earrings though."
Pre-Superstar Style: "Growing up, I was a tomboy. I refused to carry a purse and wouldn't wear a dress. That was the eighties and it was all about the hip-hop influence--baggy jeans and big shirts. [Her mother, Tina Knowles] hated it! But then I started singing and ended up watching all of the footage of the Supremes and Tina Turner. And I thought to myself, 'They're so beautiful. I want to be like them.'
Latest Look: "I was going to do the shorter hair [for her new album] that I had when I performed with Tina Turner at the Grammys earlier this year, which I loved. But I've decided to wear my hair straight instead. I've had so many different hairstyles, and I don't want this project to be about my hair. With my makeup, I was doing a lot of liquid liner before. Now I'm into a gold smoky eye and natural-tone lip."
It's interesting that she liked how Cher and Diana Ross never played it safe, but when it comes to her interviews, she ALWAYS plays it safe. I can't wait for the day I open a magazine and Beyonce says something that surprises me. Anyway, more photos from the InStyle shoot below:
Mighty fly pics though!
Fans will be able to see
Bey act out the role of Etta James in Cadillac Records when the film
hits theatres December 5th. Entertainment Weekly did a small piece on
the film, speaking to director Darnell Martin who said that the crew
was so excited the day Beyonce sang the James classic "At Last," that
people told him 'I would have worked
for free today.' Check out a still from the film below.
Looks good. I'm interested to see whether she steps up her acting game for this one or if we'll just see another Beyonce as self (a la Dreamgirls) or acting as Sasha (a la "Carmen")
Per the LA Times: Donald "Don" Cornelius, the 72-year-old creator and longtime host of "Soul Train" was arrested Friday night on suspicion of felony domestic violence. Los Angeles Police were called to Cornelius' home in the 12000 block of Mulholland Drive about 7:15 p.m. Friday, said Officer Norma Eisenman. Cornelius was arrested and taken to Van Nuys jail at 8 p.m., Eisenman said. It was not clear whom Cornelius was suspected of assaulting, Eisenman said. No one was taken to the hospital after the incident, according to police reports.
Yikes! I wonder what made him snap like that. What is with these old ass dudes trying to get gully?
