Beyonce has been enlisted to shoot the upcoming September issue of Vogue. Not only is this rumored to be Anna Wintour’s exit from the iconic magazine, she’s chosen Mrs. Carter to go out with a bang.
Beyonce is said to have 100% creative control of the shoot.
Bey hired 23-year-old photographer Tyler Mitchell to shoot the cover. Mitchell will be the first black cover photographer in the magazine’s 126-year history.
A source says Beyonce’ used her power and influence to get him the assignment. Although he’s shot for campaigns for Marc Jacobs and Givenchy, Wintour typically chooses photographers with more traditional experience. However this go round, it’s all hail to Queen Bey.
Beyoncé hasn’t graced the cover of Vogue since September 2015 photographed by Mario Testino.
While we’re at it, there’s a big rumor going around that Beyonce is bringing some sort of visual to Netflix. The Sun is reporting:
Her team are now in negotiations with Netflix to premiere the project, which would introduce it to a massive audience.
[Netflix] offered a seven-figure sum for Lemonade but contractual obligations with HBO and Tidal meant it didn’t happen.
Nothing confirmed from Bey’s camp. I’m sure this would break streaming records if it were a done deal. #NetflixAndBeyAnyone?
