Beyoncé Knowles-Carter is part of another "Act II" as W Magazine has released part two of its first-ever digital cover, and it features none other than the Grammy award-winning singer.
Released Friday, Beyoncé stuns in platinum blonde hair and wears a custom Louis Vuitton Men's jacket, pants, cowboy hat and sunglasses with Dries Criel earrings and rings.
And the superstar, who is fully in her "Cowboy Carter" era, poses alongside a horse.
Beyoncé first graced W Magazine's digital cover on March 29 to celebrate the release of her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter." The accompanying article declared, "Beyoncé is the ultimate American cowboy."
Of course, Beyoncé's highly anticipated "Act II" project instantly took the internet by storm and became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day in 2024.
Her first two singles, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," sent shock waves throughout social media. She became the first Black woman to top Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart after "Texas Hold 'Em" debuted at No. 1.
Prior to the album's release, the superstar opened up about creating the project on Instagram.
In a post, she wrote, "This album has been over five years in the making. It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of Country music and studied our rich musical archive.

"It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history," she continued. "The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. Act ii is a result of challenging myself and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work."
