Beyonce will grace the cover of Essence Magazine for the 7th time this Spring, where she will dive into ‘the legacy of Black hair − and her latest venture.”
According to USA Today Queen Bey will be on the cover of their March/April 2024 issue.
Essence, a magazine written for and to celebrate Black women, unveiled the cover on Instagram.
Wearing a blue top, Beyoncé stuns in the portrait as she shows off her middle-parted blonde hair wrapped around her neck. “March/April 2024 @Beyonce discusses the Legacy of Black hair,” the magazine captioned the post.
As fans know, Beyoncé’s upcoming hair care line, Cécred, will be available Feb 20.
While full details about the line have yet to be released, the hair care line seems to be inclusive of both men and women of all shades and hair textures.
The “Cuff It” singer first teased the new business venture in May of 2023, while opening up about the impact of growing up in her mom’s hair salon on Instagram.
She wrote,
“I saw firsthand how the ways we nurture and celebrate hair can directly impact our souls,” she wrote. “I watched her heal and be of service to so many women. Having learned so much on my hair journey, I’ve always dreamed of carrying on her legacy. I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve been creating.”
Here is a first look of the products themselves and price points (swipe).
The Essence cover news comes a day after Beyoncé made a surprise appearance front row at the Luar fashion show Tuesday night.
AND just days after breaking the internet (again) with her “Act II” album announcement and the release of two new singles.
In 2011 Beyonce said Essence ‘feels like home’ for her.
Essence writes:
On June 20, 2003, Beyoncé dropped her solo album, Dangerously in Love, and that same summer she made her debut on the cover of ESSENCE for our August 2003 issue.
The then-22-year-old gave us a fresh look at her life post-Destiny’s Child as she began her ascent to becoming one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
Five more covers followed, including the most epic of them all in July 2011 when Yonce celebrated her Texas roots within our pages.
She said at the time, “Whenever I work with ESSENCE, it feels like home. The collaboration is always smooth and the concept of the rodeo took me back to my days growing up in Houston, Texas.I had a pair of pink cowboy boots that you’d think were glued to my feet. My mama begged me to take them off! Memories like these I’ll cherish forever.”
beyoncé debuting her country era with ESSENCE is very full circle.
