Beyonce is looking like the mega star that she is on the cover of InStyle. For the fashion mag’s September issue the Roseland Ballroom performer is simply radiant in her sequined and star-studded dress. (Truth be told, even if Bey had worn a burlap sack she would still look just as fabulous.) Jump below for more of the pop-up shopper and for a behind the scenes look at the Jay-Z groupie’s photo shoot with photographer Michelangelo Di Battista at Long Island’s Guggenheim mansion.

If this is just a taste of what to expect from the “Lift Off” singer’s spread, September is going to be one hot issue.


In her interview, Beyonce opens about her work pace, “When you’re young—18 or 19—you have the energy and drive. That’s the time to work as hard as you can. Now I’m a woman, and because I gave it my all, I can focus on my marriage. I can decide I want to have kids. I can be the mother I want to be and dedicate myself to my children.”

And the 4 siren’s guilty pleasure? The Jersey Shore. You hear that, Pauly D?
