Beyonce is a African Queen in L’Officiel Paris

I love the Magz Cover but I'm not sure I'm okay with blackened face, we all know she's black, period.....darkening a face doesn't not make you more African, and I think its kind of silly that they had her blacken her face to pay tribute to a great African, African Queen??? Really? Take note there are light skinned Africans, white Africans, Yellow Africans, it does not make them less African...this is just stereotypical thinking.....either way,  I could be overreacting again and it could be just another silly stunt to raise controversy... But her clothes a Rich and colorful soo Africannny...nice
other views welcomed
The Magazine says...
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. The star agreed to pose for an incredible fashion shoot, with the theme of African Queen, paying a tribute to the legendary Fela Kuti (Nigerian political singer who died in 1997). Far from the glamorous Sasha Fierce, the beauty posed for the magazine in amazing fashion designer 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. All the pictures will be available in the collector edition, on sale at the end of this month.
I thin she looked incredible here, the whole darkening thing was ridiculous
