Beyonce Goes Unsung

Not only is The Best Thing I Never Had the song I can't get out of my head lately, but Beyonce's new album cover is the image I can't stop looking at every morning at Starbucks (I also can't stop looking at the pink and delightful Birthday Cake pops, but, I digress). Clad in purple fur, and looking more model than bootylicious, the whole thing is just very chic and fashion-y.

Turns out, B's creative director, Jenke-Ahmed Tailly, and stylist, Ty Hunter, opted to go with lesser-known designers for the singer's new album, titled 4 (that purple fur, as well as the red stole pictured above, are from cult French designer Alexandre Vauthier). Take a quick break from Miami and bikinis (B looks just as tasty, promise), and check out this New York Times article for more.
