Beyoncé Covers Vogue's September Issue — Here's Why It's a Big Deal

According to Vogue, "there is only one September Issue, and there is only one Beyoncé." So, it is only fitting that the fashion glossy has chosen Queen Bey to grace the cover of the year's most buzzed-about issue. This is Beyoncé's third time gracing Vogue's cover, and it may be her sexiest yet.
We're used to the stunning star taking the red carpet in racy naked dresses and shimmering gowns. But, this time around the same sexy styles are paired with a dressed-down beauty look that brings a hint of allure — like we're getting a behind-the-scenes look at how Beyoncé dresses up when no one else can see.
The cover shot features a lacy purple Marc Jacobs design, while inside the spread Beyoncé models sexy designs by Atelier Versace, Stella McCartney, Givenchy, and more. And in a surprising turn, the designers take their turns weighing in on why the singer truly runs the world. "The word diva is used for so many female performers," Marc Jacobs says. "And it often means they have reputations for being difficult, but she exudes charm and a lovable quality."
While Beyoncé previously appeared on the cover in 2009 and 2013, this time around it's particularly monumental. It marks the third time a black woman has been featured on her own — after Naomi Campbell in 1989 and Halle Berry in 2010. Read on for a look at the stunning cover shot along with a few of the images from the editorial before you snap up a copy for yourself!
