Beyonce’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover

Beyonce and hip-hop duo Gnarls Barkley are among the celebrities who have posed for Sports Illustrated’s annual swimsuit magazine.

It’s been revealed that Beyonce is the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model. The photograph of the singer was reportedly taken on a beach in Florida, and in true Beyonce fashion, she’s wearing a bikini designed by mom Tina Knowles. This year, Sports Illustrated asked several musicians to pose in swimsuits for the issue. Others appearing in their bathing suits are Gnarls Barkley, Kanye West, Kenny Chesney, and the guys in Panic! At The Disco.

The singer and now movie star ( Dreamgirls) posed on a Florida beach in a yellow-and-pink bikini by House of Dereon, the fashion label she started with her mother, Tina Knowles. There’s also a photo spread inside.

“The Dreamgirl As You’ve Never Seen Her,” a cover headline teases.

Beyonce becomes just the second African-American to pose on the cover of the Swimsuit Issue, the other being Tyra Banks.

The list of past Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover models also includes Rachel Hunter, Aerosmith, Christie Brinkley, Tyra Banks, and Elle Macpherson — who scored the coveted spot a record five times.
