Beyonce poses in African-inspired dresses and jewelry in the March 2011 issue of The French Magazine, L' Officiel. She was decorated in a traditional African theme headdress, as well as blackface, in a tribute to African activist and musician, Fela Kuti. Her African-inspired dresses and jewelry were designed by
Gucci, Azzedine Alaia, Fendi, Pucci, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Rodarte, Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier, and Lanvin.The issue celebrates both African influences in fashion and L’Officiel’s 90th anniversary. L'Offciel says,
that the Fashion magazine is about to celebrate its 90th birthday. To celebrate this anniversary, the festivities start with the March issue, with Beyoncé on the cover. She agreed to pose for an incredible fashion shoot, with the theme of African Queen, paying a tribute to the legendary Fela Kuti. Far from the glamorous Sasha Fierce, the beauty posed for the magazine with amazing fashion designers clothes, but also in a dress created by her mother. [It is] A return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened. All the pictures will be available in the collector edition, on sell at the end of this month.
Even though this is far from what she normally wears, she still owned the shoot and looked STUNNING as always.
