An absolutely stunning Beyonce Knowles will grace the cover and spread of the April 2009 issue of Ebony Magazine.
Photoshop and digital manipulation aside, the pop music diva looks absolutely sensational on the beautiful cover of the glossy, which has a headline that reads, "BeyoncEvolved." She looks equally glamorous and seductive within the magazine’s spread.
Inside Ebony, the singer boasts of an spectacular wardrobe of gowns and an equally impressive array of accessories.
My favorite dress within the collection is the exquisite beige gown that Beyonce is wearing on the sepia-toned lead picture. That particular image was Photoshopped to give Beyonce, the torn furniture beside her and the general background a convincing vintage look.
On the interview, the singer talks about a series of topics including her relationship with her husband, the hip-hop mogul Jay-Z, as well as other personal matters, a couple of which are highlighted below.
