Beyoncé’s Bold New Look Makes Headlines, Naturally

  

You know that you’re the most famous woman in music when one snapshot of your new ‘do goes viral in a matter of minutes. Songbird Beyoncé Knowles, queen of pop and R&B, fashion trendsetter and philanthropist, recently chopped her locks - a bold move that is, of course, making headlines.

Between juggling her life in the private eye with husband, rapper Jay-Z and their growing family, and continuing to make a name for herself as one of the most beloved and influential names in entertainment, Beyoncé has a lot going on. Right now, she’s in the middle of her “The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour,” which recently finished its first North American leg in Brooklyn, NY. Over the next few months she’ll be performing in Latin America, Australia, Europe, and then back again stateside. But of course, she couldn’t make her way to the United Kingdom without first shedding her iconic long waves in favor of a stylish blond pixie cut.

  

Beyoncé is one of those performers who is as iconic for her all-around persona as she is for her singing chops. A quadruple-threat: a master of singing, dance, acting, and fashion, Beyoncé is constantly reinventing her style and pushing the boundaries of what the public perceives her as capable of. She’s an incredibly influential woman; her fashion sense and own clothing line are wildly popular with a younger female demographic, and her record sales speak for themselves. “The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour” is one of the most anticipated music tours in recent history, and it’s no wonder; Beyoncé really is Queen B.

Soon, thousands of young women are sure to take after the star and opt for a short, cropped hairstyle. What do you think of Beyoncé’s new look?
