Vogue Is 'Contractually Obligated' to Let Beyonce Do Whatever She Wants For Her September Cover
CelebritiesDirt BagAccording to a report in HuffPo, Beyoncé will be on the cover of Vogue’s upcoming September issue (that’s the big, important one), which is rumored to be Anna Wintour’s last. But we have known this, or at least those of us who read Celebitchy have. The real story this week is that Beyoncé is “contractually obligated” to have full creative control over her cover—from the styling to its photographer.
Per Huffpo, Beyoncé “hired the first black photographer to shoot a cover in the publication’s 126-year history.” Incredible news, until you start squinting at the details. 126 years?! One hundred? And twenty!??! Six?????!!!!! Years!!!!!!!!??????????? (Thirty of those were overseen by Wintour, by the way.) The photographer’s name is Tyler Mitchell, and he’s just 23 years old.
