Beyonce made quite an entrance in Lanvin at the launch of her fragrance ‘Pulse’ at Macy’s. The mother-to-be wore a white halter gown with fringes in the skirt. Strings of beads made up the neckline, while soft draping formed in the bodice. Her bracelets matched the details in the dress. A neutral face kept her look fresh and natural with an inner glow.

Beyonce show-off her legs in a Roberto Cavalli design at the launch of her new fragrance “Pulse.”  The singer wore an embellished tunic and navy sequined jacket from the designer that fell at her upper thigh.  She accessorized with a pair of peep-toe high heels.  Blue and black are an elegant combination, especially in evening attire.  I’m also loving the matching earrings, and the single side braid.

Beyonce is the September 2011 cover girl for Harper’s Bazaar UK in Armani Prive.  This image is high-fashion from the dress, hair and makeup, right down to the intensity of her gaze.  You can almost feel the tension from the pull of her ponytail on this subscriber’s issue.  The  says describes her as, ‘Strictly Sexy,’ but I see more strength and control from this photo.   It will be on newsstands on Saturday, August 6th.

Beyonce has a new fragrance due to be released in September.  This is the singer’s third perfume, and as she described it to Elle,” Pulse represents the woman I am on stage.”  So we should expect this scent to be fierce.  The name references her heartbeat during her performances.  Even the packaging is intriguing, it comes in an upside down bottle filled with ice blue liquid. 

Beyonce covers the July 2011 issue of W magazine in a Louis Vuitton ensemble.  The singer rocked the label’s silk blouse, cashmere shorts, hat and mask.  I love the romance of the white top paired with the structured shorts and military styled hat.  This is a very chic uniform.  The image is high fashion right down to her Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci silk satin bra.  Her wardrobe really pops with a glossy red background.

Beyonce landed the cover of Dazed & Confused in Givenchy.  The printed look came from the Fall 2011 collection.  She stood in a fierce pose with an ice cream cone dripping down her arm.  This might be her alter ego Sasha; either way, it worked.  Her makeup was flawless with an emphasis on the eyes.  The hair was sleek and modern to contrast the boldness of her outfit.
