Sasha Fierce, better known to the world as Beyonce Giselle Knowles, is covering the November 2008 edition of InStyle Magazine. The singer recently sat down with the glossy to share her fashion and beauty secrets, as well as which celebrities she looks to for fashion inspiration.
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.’”
Off-Camera Style
“I’m a lot more conservative in my personal life. But even when I’m dressed down, I wear a nice shirt, nice jeans and stilettos. Even when I go on vacation, where no one’s going to see me, I enjoy picking out new clothes, bathing suits and accessories. I do it for myself because I enjoy fashion. It makes me feel like me.”
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.”
Brown Sista thanks Tress
she looks pretty . i love the jewellry she has on. Beyonce u know u like the bling. smh, u dont like bracelets and rings
Beyonce you should of kept the short hair from the grammys boo you never and i mean never change up your hairstyle it shouldn’t matter but this is sasha fierce go yet black man
I hate bracelets. I cannot stand to wear anything around my wrists, not even a watch. I feel trapped, held down and confined with anything around my wrists. It’s post traumatic slave symdrome I believe.
i think she looks beautiful and what i really like about this whole going natrual thing with her is that during this natrual time i feel like she is a regular person…i feel like its easier to get to know her because i see her and not all that other bling and make up….i mean i know that shes human but she just feel more real being natural and simple…
as for the hair…i dont mind her keeping it like this…to me this long straight hair is different for beyonce…i mean she has done it before but never had been consistent with it…now its all she does and i think it goes well with the natrual look…
actually when i think about it…she is starting to look more like a real actress than a singer…just the way her look is carrying her :brownsista:
OMG I LOVE THAT SECOND PIC!
Go head Ms. Beyonce! Love the simplistic look she is going for this era. I am so loving the vintage jewelry! She looks beautiful! Definitely, will be picking this up!
like it better with the make up
Stephanie, here’s a link to the cover shoot. Just remove if it is not allowed here.

gorgeous pics.
gorgeous woman.
incredible talent.
I love the hot pink dress and the cover dress.
. The one jewlerie that is a must is my watch. I’m constantly checking the time \o/.
I’m not a jewlerie person. My ear is not even pierce. However, these are gorgeous. A girl can admire from afar
Some folks complain she never changes her hairstyle, but that’s a lie. I’ve seen her rock various styles, hair textures & colors from braids, afros, bob cut, weaves, lace wigs…

Test checking my gravatar*
Oh…I enjoyed the short and simple interview. That second pic is gorgeous!
Gorgeous :brownsista: and i love that she loves jean paul gautier. His designs are perfect for her alter ego.
Also I love the smoky eye on her. Gives a softer look. As for the hair long blonde lacefronts are her trademark. I can see her switching up the style but not the length.
stephanie, girl, it’s sasha fierce, also known as beyonce giselle knowles-CARTER
i absolutely adore this woman………..she looks beautiful and i’m hyped for november 18th
I’ m sorry,but i just saw Life of bees and if it gets nominated for an oscar alicia got it! O my god she was great, that was a great movie!
I JUST SAW IT AT 12:30 YESTERDAY AND IT WAS A GOOD MOVIE. BUT ALICIA JEYS SHOULD NOT BE NOMINATED FOR AN OSCAR BECAUSE SHE WAS’NT ALL DAT GOOD.
The video is allowed Melissa- thank you. I actually knew about the video but forgot to post it. I was mad I couldn’t post it here.
She looks Beautiful in all those pics, and i saw the secret life of bees too! and Alica Keys cannot act! she’s to thuged out with it, like her voice is to i don’t know what you call it. But yeah diffently getting that Beyonce album!!!!!!!!!!!!
She looks beautiful, I love the blue dress she has on for the cover.
I saw Maxwell last night and he did three new songs that will be on his cd in Febuary and I will wait in line. Name one artist who has not had an album out in almost seven years now that can come out and go on a tour before they put out their album. This man is like Marvin Gaye or somebody. I hope him coming out and I heard that D’Angelo was coming back and I even heard Lauren Hill was in the studio. I hope this mean that real music in the black genre is coming back. I forgot how cold Maxwell is.
He no booty shaking no simulating sex on the stage. Just him some back ground singers and a band. It was awesome.
I know this is a beyonce thread…..BUT I am like the biggest Maxwell fan……I just got done watching his Access Granted on BET.
He is my number 1 favorite artist…..!!!!
Beyonce looks absolutely beautiful! I am feeling the fashion in these pics and the jewelry is to die for! I am feeling this less is more she is working this era!
I am so looking forward to this new album on November 18th!
Bria.
Nice to hear about Maxwell. I love that dude…and his music.
Beyonce looks stunning as usual. She’s a natural beauty and I look forward to hitting the dance floor to her music.
OVERKILL.
she looks very nice!
“I’ve had so many different hairstyles, and I don’t want this project to be about my hair”
hmmm…I’m wondering who she’s talking about….
@ Mario. Who IS she talking about?
Beyonce is looking good and deserves her power! Great voice as well!
I don’t know what happened but something did…Whatever she had that made her otherwordly is gone, gone, gone… Perhaps we’ve grown inured to her beauty since she is over exposed…I don’t know… She’s not at all as striking as she once was…Still pretty but these wouldn’t make me buy the magazine…or the clothes.
she ic so fake and concieted i dont like bee
she thinks shes a god her last album sucked and this one will too
@MARIE yeah i said the same thing about that comment she should have kept that to her self that made her look a little childish …..BUT ANYWAY SHE LOOKS REAL NICE I LIKE THE JEWELRY SHE’S HAS ON
She looks beautiful. I like all of the other pics better than the one chosen for the cover. The cover photo looks like a catalog pic.
She talking about ri-ri yes i said it lol.
@Nikki=Maxwell Fan: I did not know that had came on and you are right I forgot to say that I thought those pictures were pretty.
But girl I saw him Saturday nite and I just forgot how cold he is. I was in Chi-town and he was in Chi-town and I think come Febuary this conversation on this blog about this post and others will be obsolete because he is coming back with a bang. Who of the artisist now can go on tour without having an album out in what seven years and fill the theater.
Yeah, the hair comment could be taken as a subtle swipe at Rihanna. It’s okay Bee. We still like you. We just like Rihrih too!
I think she’s talking about shedding the lace fronts since that is always a big topic. I also think she’s talking about if she had gone with a shorter doo, the whole discussion would have been about her copying others. And you all know you would. I think she’s talking about herself versus someone else.
@ Keva
That’s possible too. But after that whole “it girl” comment, I wouldn’t put it past her to throw undercover jabs.
beyonce is so damn fine. shes the epitome of beauty…TO ME. so dnt jump on my case. i love the way she looks. her eyes are so sexy and , well shes f-ing hot!
NEW BEYONCE AKA. “ETTA JAMES” PICS ON IMDB AND BLACKFILM.COM
SHE LOOKS AMAZING. SHE MADE A LIAR OUT OF ME
Beyonce is simply beautiful
Co-sign with Keva. I doubt she has anything against Rihanna considering that Rhi is her husband’s protege. The more records Rhi sales, the more money in her pockets. Hell, if I were Bee, I would be doing Rhi’s hair my damn self. Then I would send her out and be like “Go and get me some more money!” LOL!
Cosign with Keva. You people read into things to much. I doubt she has anything against Rhianna considering that Rhi is her husband’s protege. In fact, if I were Bee, I would be doing Rhi’s hair my damn self. Sending her my leftover lacefront’s too. Then I would be like, “Go out and get me some more money Miss Umbrella, ella, ella.” LOL
:thumbsup: :brownsista:
very beautiful
she’s going to FLOP. especially since Rihanna has a new song out now.
^^flop?
her cd is #5 most bought on itunes and the cd isn’t even out yet. btw, she just took the #1 spot on itunes from britney with if i were a boy on top songs and single ladies on top videos. nice try though
