Man Pleads Guilty To False Police Report That Led To…
'As Soon As They Start Hating On You, You Must Be Huge'
When Jennifer Hudson appeared, laughing and windblown, on the cover of Vogue in March of '07, the joke in gossip circles was that Beyoncé was probably really pissed.
With Michelle Obama covering the March issue, we have to ask: Has the magazine known for its disinterest in cover models of color changed its tune? Time will tell.
Beyonce and Solange Fashion Transformation
In 2001, Destiny's Child won the Grammy Award for best R&B Song for their hit single 'Say My Name.' Beyonce was 20 years old, and Solange was 15. New to superstardom, these young girls from Texas would take their time developing their sense of style.

Looking just like her mom Tina here, Beyonce began her career with hair extensions based on braids, way before she would "upgrade" to lace front wigs.

Working a strange mix of accessories, Beyonce used her ensemble to promote her self-penned hit 'Bootylicious.' We do what we must to reach the top! It was 2001, and still a few more years before Bey would cement her spot without resorting to desperate moves.

At the 2001 Teen Choice Awards Beyonce and Solange continue to evoke the "classless country" look with matching neon yellow outfits and braids in clashing shades of auburn. At this time, Solange had almost no identity of her own and was totally dependent on her sister's shine.

Solange was really just a teen growing up in the fast lane, as we can see here in this early pic. Her braids, scarf, tee and jewelry are clothing an average girl would wear.

Solange and Beyonce Knowles Solange posed together in 2002 in an uncharacteristically dressed-down look for Bey. Do you think she still has that Michael Jackson's Thriller t-shirt?

Through this two-tone hair sculpture in the form of a lace-front wig, Beyonce shows the world that they do indeed do it big in Texas at the 'Austin Powers In Goldmember' in 2002. While Beyonce began to branch out into acting roles at this time, and slightly mature in her sense of style, Solange still seems like a non-entity totally dressed by Mom.

These two sisters made an appearance on MTV's 'TRL' in 2002 wearing distinctly different casual looks. While Beyonce took even her relaxed dressing to a costume-like extreme, Solange was still dressing like normal young person.

At the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall, Bey gave a knockout performance and revealed what many would come to term the "Beyonce Look" in full force. The huge blonde mane and over-the-top sexy golden outfits were here to stay.

Michelle Obama, Jennifer Hudson both are fresh faces, new and exciting.
However, with Beyonce it just goes to show, they are running out of ideas...
How about Taraji P. Henson...

Taraji's not really that famous. And I wouldn't say she's a style icon.
Also, Vogue really shouldn't be having celebrities on their covers anyway except that celebrities sell more than models do. A lot of international Vogues still regularly still put models on their covers.
I wonder if an Asian has ever been on the cover.

Asian women are really not that beautiful, nor can't think of one that is famous can you?

Response:
First of all, I didn't say Asian people were Ugly . . . You did
Secondly, I said; they are really not that beautiful . . . And, the list that you provided does not change my OPINION.
Next, you ask why I would type something like that; because it's the truth from how I see it.
Lastly, you call me stupid; Your IGNORANT yourself.

Why does everyone throw the word HATER around? Blogs are about opinion. Anywho...I wouldn't buy a magazine with Beyonce' on the cover. She has the same style, the same conversation...there is nothing new about her. They should focus on up and coming actresses, singers, musicians...ie Estelle. her style if funky but different!! It's refreshing to see someone who has not comformed to what is hot right now.

I like the cover. It is a more natural type of look. Beyonce is everywhere these days!

SOmeone need to sit her down and tell her the hard truth. She has a problem with attention, she has no private life. She is ALWAYS on someone screen, radio, stage or cover. She is sickening. She is very jealous and it shows. To jump up anytime another female artist of any caliber try to follow their star. She is atypical "look at me! Look at me." Beyonce Knowles is a little girl still dancing in her mothers shoes. I think her marriage is a facade and it shows. No intimacy or chemistry with her and Jay- Z. Just all for attention as usual. She act afraid to even say they love each other. Just we're happy. I'm a married lady who knows a bullsh** marriage when I see one. She will divorce him when she see her fame fading, for atention and to remain relevant. She don't even make adult music from the perspective of a married and in love woman, yet a point of view of a teen girl.. Pathetic, fat, and overrated.. Bottomline!
