1. Fashion 2011 Trend: Beyonce Knowles
in ‘W’ Magazine Music & Style Issue
Just when we thought she couldn’t possibly top
herself, Beyonce appears on the front of July’s
Music & Style issue, and she poses for some
shots that would make even Sasha Fierce green
with envy! She has proven time and time again
to be a fierce femme fashionista anyway setting
the standard for the latest 2011 fashion trend for
women.

2. On her latest video, “Run The World (Girls)”,
Beyonce tells the mag, “This is the power stand,
the next chapter of my life. I do this job because
it makes me high and inspires people. In the
video, most of all I wanted to show that I’m
proud to be a woman. I had read about powerful

3. African men who have hyenas as pets, and I
wanted to create a world where women run the
world, so in the video I have these hyenas as
pets. I’m wearing a Givenchy Couture gown and
I’m holding these crazy hyenas. There’s dirt on
the dress, but I’m still pure and regal. I wanted to
push the theatrics to make a point: Women rule.”
When asked about her “Telephone” video co-
star Lady Gaga, Beyonce couldn’t stop gushing!
“Gaga is my girl!” she exclaimed. “I’m her

4. biggest fan. When I first saw her perform, I
actually called her and said, ‘You are great!’
That was before her popularity hit, and we had a
natural connection. Later, she asked me to do
her video, and I said, ‘I trust you Gaga. I’ll do
whatever you want me to do.’”
Beyonce is known for taking major fashion risks,
but this goes beyond the red carpet! “As a child
I trained myself to dance in very high heels,”

5. she says. “At 13, in Destiny’s Child, we were
told to wear heels, but at first we couldn’t walk
in them. We couldn’t keep our knees straight.
But we learned, and that became the image of
Destiny’s Child: so young and so glamorous.
Now I have a rule that my dancers have to wear
their heels when I’m wearing my heels. They
say, ‘Please take your shoes off, Beyonce.’ At
home I’m always barefoot. And I have a heavy
walk without heels. When they hear me
thumping around through the house, they say,
‘Oh — Beyonce’s up!’”
