Beyoncé took it all off for "Renaissance," and her fans are losing it!
The 40-year-old singer teased fans with a racy look at the cover of her upcoming album, which was made during "a scary time for the world."
On Thursday, Beyoncé added to her already vast collection of sultry images on Instagram. Although, the recent addition was for her music. She released the album artwork, which featured the "Crazy in Love" hitmaker almost naked.
Beyoncé Has Done It Again
Beyoncé sat atop a holographic horse while clad in what appeared to be a spiky ensemble. The silver number was strapless and with no lining. However, her plump assets were covered with spikes that ran from her chest to the middle of her midsection. Its lower part had straps that clung high over her waist, accentuating her hourglass physique. The Grammy winner's bare backside was also adorned with sharp-like decor.
Beyoncé completed her risqué outfit with a pair of silver stilettos. She had her long honey-blond locks styled in crimped waves with a center part, letting the long strands fall over her right shoulder and down her back.
According to DailyMail, Bey was styled by Marni Senofonte, and her barely-there outfit was made by couture designer Nusi Quero.
Releasing Another Masterpiece
"Act i RENAISSANCE 7.29," Beyoncé captioned the share ahead of her album's release on July 29.
"Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world," she shared. "It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving."
Beyoncé continued, "My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom," adding, "It was a beautiful journey of exploration. I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are."
Fans Went Crazy Over The Pic
Within hours, Beyoncé amassed over 3.5 million likes. Fans and celebrities alike flooded the post with emojis, while others wrote gushing messages to the singer, amounting to more than 65,000 notes.
"Yes lord!! We've been waiting on this Queen!!!" one commented.
"It’s the way you just made me damn near faint in this nail salon," noted another supporter.
"Wow she’s really speaking to my soul," added the third user.
"Jaw dropping !!!! We can't wait Giselle," raved the fourth one.
Teasing A Song
Last Friday, Beyoncé posted the cover for her latest single, "BREAK MY SOUL," a dance-pop track included in the upcoming album.
The Houston native dropped the track full of danceable beats on June 21.
Beyoncé Hinting About 'Renaissance' In 2021
"Renaissance" will be the "Dreamgirls" star's seventh studio album, following the 2016 release of "Lemonade."
During her August 2021 Harper's Bazaar cover story, Beyoncé said that her new album would represent a "renaissance" a year ago, following the time when the world was in lockdown due to the pandemic.
"With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again," she said. "I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible."
