Grammy Award Winning singer and one of the most famous women in the world, Beyonce Knowles-Carter, is the July cover girl for British Vogue.
This Vogue cover is in anticipation of her next studio album, Renaissance. The renaissance period was a time of rebirth in art, culture and science and we can certainly see a lot of experimentation from the way the pictures were shot and the outfits she wore.
Photographed by Rafael Pavarotti, the same person who photographed Rihanna’s pregnancy Vogue cover.
This photo shoot makes use of virtually all the colours in the rainbow through the lighting, disco, and kaleidoscope settings. Vogue describes the pictures as, “vision of glittering retro-futurism”.
For the cover, she is sitting on a white house wearing a black body suit, platform heels and an exaggerated head gear.
In one of the pictures, she is sitting on a disco ball wearing a silk corset, sequined leggings, and silk train, not to mention the platform heels, a vision from the 80s.
In another look, she goes fully goth in all black posing on a motorbike wearing black lipstick, a black patchwork leather jacket, vinyl leggings, boots, and a beaded leather headpiece.
