Beyonce has given a “rare in-depth interview” to ELLE magazine, following the release of her latest project – sportswear clothing label Ivy Park. The megastar discussed, among other things, her powerful position as the undisputed Queen of the pop world, and the need for all women to take a minute and “focus on their mental health”.
The ‘Crazy in Love’ singer conceded that, whist “it’s exciting” to have “the power to make every final decision and be accountable for them”, such stardom is “definitely a burden and a blessing”.
“To me, power is making things happen without asking for permission,” Bey said, “It’s affecting the way people perceive themselves and the world about them. It’s about making people stand up with pride.”
The shoot also includes a vast spread of Beyonce 
donning some of the most iconic brands – including Dior, Manolo Blahnik and Prada, as well as her own Ivy Park. Whilst she has been hailed at times as the epitome of feminine perfection, the singer has said that the reality is “about purpose.”
“We have to care about our bodies and what we put in them. Take time for self, for the spiritual, without feeling guilty or selfish. The world will see you the way you see you, and treat you the way you treat yourself.”
The full interview appears in the May issue of ELLE UK, which is available from today. Grab a subscription today, and get a massive 35% off.
