In spite of how poorly the leak of her new album 4 is being received, there is no denying that when Beyoncé goes all out on a magazine cover, the Queen goes all out. Here is the Sasha Fierce that we love, photographed by Sharif Hamza in this month’s issue of Dazed & Confused. The shoot, ‘Pop vs Life’ sees Beyoncé rocking special one-off creations by Gareth Pugh, Tom Ford, Riccardo Tisci, Stefano Pilati, Haider Ackermann and Marc Jacobs for Louis Vuitton (check out some of the stunning photos). Let’s hope that if the album does get pulled (as it is rumoured to), then it comes back in September bigger and badder with a lot more edge!
