Female Beauty

The sexy singer and one of the “Dreamgirls” star, Beyonce Knowles, appear on the cover of the famous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She posed on a Florida beach in a yellow-and-pink bikini by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother, Tina Knowles. There’s also a photo spread inside. “The Dreamgirl As You’ve Never Seen Her,” a cover headline teases.

“It’s fascinating how many careers it’s made, or how many have been made of it,” says Beyoncé of the swimsuit issue. “They’re always so beautiful.” Beside the only non-model/non-athlete to ever appear on the cover, Beyonce is the second African-American woman who appear on issue’s cover in the 43 years since it was created, the first in a decade since Tyra Banks donned the second of her back-to-back swimsuit covers in 1997.

The 2007 swimsuit edition continues with a music them inside, featuring scantily-clad models posing with Kanye West, Aerosmith, Kenny Chesney, Gnarls Barkley and Panic! At the Disco for the camera of lensman Steve Erle.

The Destiny’s Child star has said that she watched what she ate before the photo shoot and even admitted that she found the experience terrifying, as she is basically a shy person. She said, “It takes a lot of guts. I’m really a shy person.”

Though the 25-year-old singer has been asked to pose in a swimsuit before, her mother says she wanted to wait for the right time. “At every shoot,” Tina Knowles says of her much-photographed daughter, “they always bring some swimsuits and ask, ‘Can we shoot in this?’ It’s always been ‘No! When it’s time to do swimsuits, it’s going to be something big.”
