Beyoncé, the bold and the beautiful

cover story /beyoncé The bold and the beautiful Singer, actress, fashion designer – the evolution of triple-threat Beyoncé Knowles has transformed her into a modern-day icon t’s a freezing cold February night in New York City but, just one look around the party at the old Tiffany and Co. building in Union Square and you can see that the guest of honour, singer, actress, and designer Beyoncé Knowles, is warming the evening up with her trademark charm and impeccable manners. It’s the launch party of her first fragrance Beyoncé Heat and, striking a sultry pose in a form- fitting red dress by Marc Bouwer, Beyoncé is in true confident form as always. After all, just two nights prior at the Grammys, Beyoncé won six awards (making it a total of 16 Grammy Awards thus far) and set the record for the most Grammys received by a female recording artist. With a stellar music career as an award-winning diva, a prolific acting career with roles in films such as Cadillac Records and Dream Girls, a couture fashion label with her mother, stylist Tina Knowles, a role as spokesperson for L’Oréal Cosmetics, and now her own perfume, it’s an understatement to say that, at only 28, Beyoncé has boldly made her mark on more industries than most stars.
