This is the magazine's third Bey cover to date. Previously, Patrick Demarchelier photographed the singer for the March 2013 issue, and Mario Testino photographed her for the April 2009 issue. This also marks only the third all-important September issue to feature a solo black woman, after Naomi Campbell (1989) and Halle Berry (2010).
