Beyoncé is the cover star of Vogue's iconic September issue

Superstar Beyoncé has been announced as the cover star for Vogue's upcoming September issue. 

The magazine confirmed the exciting news earlier this morning (August 13) and tweeted: "There’s only one September issue, and there’s only one @Beyonce." 

Vogue's official website teases the editorial with the following statement: "What do we want from the glamorous, powerful women we call divas or icons or cultural forces? We want them to want—and in our names get—everything they possibly can. Success in work and love. Sexual pleasure. Money and power. We want them to embody multiple fantasies. We want them to make us believe that exciting realities are just around the corner."

"It used to be that the great pop stars with fashion and style gave us small variations on one grand theme. Tina Turner: minidresses and honey tresses. Janis Joplin: boas, bangles, and bell-bottoms. Cher: spangled striptease getups with mythic Third World touches. Nowadays fashion isn’t about the grand theme, it’s about juxtaposition, and it’s filled with allusions to movie and art history; to music and dance styles; to iconographies of race and ethnicity, religion and gender. Madonna opened the door to this collage approach. Today we see it in the wigs, masks, and sculpted costumes of Lady Gaga and Nicki Minaj, the restless dazzle of Rihanna’s couture choices. And, of course, in the music, dance, decor, and looks of the ultimate streamed collage: Beyoncé."

The digital issue will be available via Amazon tomorrow and the physical issue is set to hit newsstands on August 25.
