UPDATE: Elle has revealed their full interview with Beyonce where she spoke about her controversial “Formation” video and more. Here’s what she said about “Formation”

“I’m an artist and I think the most powerful art is usually misunderstood,” she explained. “But anyone who perceives my message as anti-police is completely mistaken. I have so much admiration and respect for officers and the families of officers who sacrifice themselves to keep us safe. But let’s be clear: I am against police brutality and injustice. Those are two separate things.”

Original Story

Beyonce shut down the internet last week when she revealed her brand new clothing line Ivy Park. Just last week, we posted the latest edition of Elle Magazine which featured Beyonce on the front cover, and today the full cover story was revealed.

The superstar entertainer discussed the new clothing line, her inspiration behind creating it, the role of a businesswoman, the importance of self-love and much more.

See some quotes below.

The importance of self-love and girls coming together:

“It’s really the essence: to celebrate every woman and the body she’s in while always striving to be better,” she said. “I called it Ivy Park because a park is our commonality. We can all go there; we’re all welcomed. It’s anywhere we create for ourselves. For me, it’s the place that my drive comes from. I think we all have that place we go to when we need to fight through something, set our goals and accomplish them.”

On being a successful businesswoman

“It’s exciting, but having the power to make every final decision and being accountable for them is definitely a burden and a blessing. To me, power is making things happen without asking for permission. It’s affecting the way people perceive themselves and the world around them. It’s making people stand up with pride.”
