Beyonce revealed as new Vogue cover star as early photos leaked online

Beyonce appears to be the March cover of Vogue magazine as an image showing the star was leaked online.

In an image apparently leaked by BeyonceLite, a fan Twitter account, Beyonce strikes an elegant pose in a black-and-white ensemble.

The strapline on the cover reads: “Queen B! Beyonce Rules the World.”

Beyonce, 31, looks stunning in the glossy photo, with nude lips, cat-eye makeup and a flawless complexion.

But for a woman so famed for her body, it seems strange to crop the image just below the bust.

Another leaked photo on the fan site shows what appears to be part of a Beyonce spread.

On one page the star wears what looks to be red velvet lingerie and a matching bathrobe, finally offering a glimpse of that incredible figure.

On the opposite page she leans forward on a wooden chair wearing a white floaty top.

The images have been leaked days after several other never-before-seen photos came to the attention of Beyonce fans.

In these shots, the singer strikes a regal pose in thigh-high red boots, a gold corset and a blue robe.

While some believed they were a first look at a rumored Vogue shoot, they turned out to be promotional shots for her Mrs. Carter world tour.
