Beyonce is the cover girl for the anniversary issue of L’Officiel Paris magazine. In the pages and on the cover, she channels an African queen and shows a voluntarily darkened face. More details on the spread:

The Fashion magazine is about to celebrate its 90th birthday. To celebrate this anniversary, the festivities start with the March issue, with Beyoncé on the cover. She agreed to pose for an incredible fashion shoot, with the theme of African Queen, paying a tribute to the legendary Fela Kuti (a political singer who died in 1997). Far from the glamorous Sasha Fierce, the beauty posed for the magazine with amazing fashion designers clothes, but also in a dress created by her mother. A return to her African roots, as you can see on the picture, on which her face was voluntarily darkened.

And Jennifer Hudson recently shot the video for her current single “Where You At.” The visual was directed by Anthony Mandler, the photographer who shot her I Remember Me album cover image.

Rounding things out is Chris Brown with his new promotional pictures. The singer is gearing up for the release of his fourth album, F.A.M.E., due this March. He recently filmed the video for one of his singles “Look At Me Now” with Lil’ Wayne and Busta Rhymes.
