Beyonce goes very high fashion for her newest fashion shoot.

It's not surprising to see Beyonce look glamorous, but on CR Fashion Book she is also avant garde.

The cover image of Carine Roitfeld's magazine features Beyonce in a winter-ready coat. Inside, she poses with a Chanel surfboard, a 1920s inspired Prada dress and cat ears. In one image, she poses with just a long trenchcoat, underwear and high heels.

One of her most daring looks has Beyonce quite covered up, but she wears a Comme des Garçons with several arm holes.

This is the first time that Beyonce works with Roitfeld.

"The empress of pop meets a force of fashion," notes CR Fashion Book's website. "In her first collaboration with Carine Roitfeld, the ever-changing Beyonce expresses her many moods, manners, auras and multifaceted characters. All hail!"

The pictures were taken by Pierre Debusschere, and she was styled by Riccardo Tisci.

There is no cover story to go with the images. Instead, Beyonce's poetry is featured, which has been edited by Forrest Gander, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet.

Some of her poetry says, "My daughter, she's my biggest muse. There's someone we all find out soon, more important than ourselves to lose."



Maybe Vanessa Friedman will now change her mind about Beyonce's effect on fashion.

The fashion critic said that the singer is not a fashion icon.

"Beyonce hasn't moved, or influenced, the direction of fashion writ large in the way that, say, Rihanna, the winner of this year's CFDA Fashion Icon award, has," Friedman wrote. "She doesn't wear things and spark a million trends, like Madonna once did with her jeweled crosses and lace minis, not to mention her bullet bra corsets. She doesn't cause items to sell out overnight, like wee Prince George."
