Here's the first look at Beyonce's new commercial for Levi's!

In the gallery you'll find scans from the October issue of GQ UK.

Levi’s is getting closer with Beyoncé. The denim mainstay posted a drawing reminiscent of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album cover on Instagram Monday morning. While the only text alongside the image of a cowgirl on a horse said, “Introducing: A New Chapter,” clicking on the red and white picture produced a caption that said “beyonce.”

A spokeswoman for the brand declined to elaborate and simply said, “More to come.” Later on Monday, invites went out for a small Paris Fashion Week event with Beyoncé’s stylist Shiona Turini and the brand that will celebrate the opening of Levi’s Haus of Strauss in the City of Light.

Billboards for the new ad campaign have already appeared in Berlin and Paris with the September 30 date for a supposed launch.

UPDATE: The singer shared even more photos.

Tina Knowles, the mother of global superstar Beyoncé, recently shared a touching memory on Instagram that offers a rare glimpse into the singer's early life and the values instilled in her from a young age. In her post, Knowles recounted an event from when Beyoncé was just seven years old, preparing for a local performance of John Lennon's iconic song "Imagine."

The memory centers around the "Sammy Awards," a Houston talent competition where Beyoncé was set to perform. Her father, Mathew Knowles, wanted her to understand the profound meaning behind "Imagine," a song that dreams of a world united by peace and humanity. He believed that for Beyoncé to truly embody the spirit of the song, she needed to experience firsthand the challenges faced by those less fortunate.

"This brings up very funny memory back to me. Saw it on ig today. Beyonce is seven she's preparing for the Sammy awards. She is going to sing John Lennon "Imagine" her dad wants her to understand the things that are going on in the world and he wants to create behind the scenes images," Tina wrote.

Last week Beyonce attended Gloria Carter's 75th birthday party in Brooklyn.

In GQ’s October cover story, the artist talks business, legacy, art, and family: “It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being revolutionary.”

Beyoncé is breaking out.

Midway through Cowboy Carter, her eighth and most recent studio album, released this past spring, a voice makes the project’s mission statement plain over blaring alarms and a thunderous beat—declaring the concept of genre to be a sense of confinement for those artists whose creativity is too wide-ranging to fit in a neat box. All before Beyoncé herself saunters in comparing herself to Thanos, the Marvel villain known for seeking precious stones of mystical power to claim as his own and assemble into one unified superpower.

There may not be an accompanying music video, but the lyrics conjure a potent visual: Beyoncé, armed with a bedazzled gauntlet, breaking down every stultifying wall, label, or box the industry ever tried to put her in across her 30-year career.

It’s a theme that applies to much of what Beyoncé has been up to for the past decade or so, especially in the last couple of years: a mission of reclamation, recentering Blackness in spaces where our influence has since been de-emphasized, whether in rodeo, on the great American plains, or on sweaty ballroom dance floors.

Yesterday Beyonce attended the wedding of Sam Greenberg, her former personal assistant, in Nantucket, Massachusetts.

Beyonce shared personal photos of her and Jay-Z celebrating her 43rd birthday on September 4. She wrote:

"I’m so grateful for another year. Thank you for the loving birthday wishes. 🙏🏾🐝"

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter has joined forces with Moët Hennessy, a subsidiary of LVMH, to create SirDavis, a groundbreaking new whisky. The first-of-its-kind joint venture reflects a shared vision between Knowles-Carter and Moët Hennessy, two vanguards of culture and craft, around the future of American whisky.

This unique product was years in the making after Knowles-Carter, a Japanese whisky enthusiast, sought out Moët Hennessy to help craft a one-of-a-kind flavor profile that reflected her whisky ideal. Meanwhile, Moët Hennessy had been exploring ways to deepen its presence in the American whisky market, making the timing kismet for a partnership between the world-leading luxury group and Knowles-Carter.

"I've always been drawn to the power and confidence I feel when drinking quality whisky and wanted to invite more people to experience that feeling," says SirDavis Founder Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. "When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whisky was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy. In partnering with Moët Hennessy, we have crafted a delicious American whisky that respects tradition but also empowers people to experience something new and unique in the category. You can taste it better than I could ever tell you — welcome, SirDavis."

Beyonce was spotted at the Lucali restaurant in New York on Sunday.

Jay-Z and Beyoncé were spotted leaving celebrity favorite ZZ’s Club in NYC on Friday night — after the “Empire State of Mind” rapper relaunched his own 40/40 Club at Fanatics Fest.

We hear that while the hip-hop royals hit the Hudson Yards members club, Travis Scott was also on the scene.

Scott exited ZZ’s just after 10:30p.m. ET, we hear, and Jay and Bey left soon after.

I updated our gallery with some older photos.
