Cover appearances: 2007
Bikini-body-Bey was the first and only non-model/non-athlete thus far to appear on the cover of the SI Swimsuit Edition. As usual, Queen B looked absolutely gorgeous, heating up the glossy mag in a yellow and pink two-piece by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mom. The shoot came off the back of her Golden Globe-nominated performance in Dreamgirls, and no question, Knowles looked every bit the part.
No stranger to intense workouts, the superstar singer logs long hours in the gym before tours—but not worry, she’s never losing those killer curves. “I don’t want to lose my curves. You can never do enough squats, you can never do enough sit-ups. But as far as losing too much weight or building too much muscle, I like for women to look feminine,” she told Allure.
