Bow down!
Beyonce looks beyond beautiful on the cover of the September issue of Vogue, marking her third time gracing the pages of the famed fashion magazine.
In the pic, shot by photographer Mario Testino, the "Flawless" singer is showing off her killer curves in a lavender lace dress with sequin floral embellishments. She adds some sass by swinging a sparkling purple blazer over her shoulder as she gives the camera a sultry stare.
And in an homage to her "Drunk in Love" music video, Bey is rocking a wet 'do that takes sexy to whole new level.
Another snapshot shows the songstress without underwear in a see-through netted black mesh dress that leaves little to the imagination.
While the mag hasn't released any quotes from Bey yet, she is praised by several top designers in the cover story.
"The word diva is used for so many female performers, and it often means they have reputations for being difficult, but she exudes charm and a lovable quality," Marc Jacobs says about Bey.
"She's the whole package: primal, rare, delicate, beautiful, and powerful," Stella McCartney adds. "Her appeal crosses art forms, genders, and generations."
“There is a magnetic presence to her,” Riccardo Tisci adds.
"The most powerful thing about her persona is the unabashed pleasure she takes in her own body: its beauty, its power, its versatility," Vogue writes of their cover star.
Beyonce is the first black female artist to cover the September issue of Vogue and the third black female ever to appear alone on the cover.
The September issue hits stands on Aug. 25, but for now, check out the behind-the-scenes video below!
