Beyonce has been under a lot of fire lately because of her latest single “Bow Down/I Been On” but that has not stopped her hustle! H&M just released one of the first images of their collaboration with Beyonce for their Summer 2013 Campaign.

According to Vogue the pieces are inspired by Beyonce’s individual style. Beyonce gave her input from a design aspect as well. The advertisements come just in time for Beyonce’s World Tour. The campaign’s theme is “Beyonce as Mrs. Carter in H&M.”

Beyonce states “I’ve always liked H&M’s focus on fun affordable fashion. I really loved the concept we collaborated on to explore the different emotions of women represented by the four elements – fire, water, earth and wind. It was a beautiful shoot on a tropical island. It felt more like making a video than a commercial.”

The campaign features swimwear and beachwear pieces – including a bikini from the H&M for Water collection, which raises money for WaterAid according to Vogue.

We will aslo get new music from this campaign! They shot a television commercial which will feature one of Bey’s new songs, hopefully off of her new album, called “Standing On The Sun” which will probably be the song of the summer!

I will definitely be on the lookout for the official lookbook. You guys know I STAN for Beyonce!

Leather was a huge trend this season. Whether you were rocking military style jackets with leather sleeves, leather skater skirts, or leather skinny pants, some of our favorite fashionistas love the laid back casual leather look.

This past weekend Alicia Keys performed in a Hervé Léger leather ensemble. Although her vocals were questionable for the night, she looked great in this look.

I love how casual the pants are, but the leather makes them more glamorous. This is a great alternative if you are not a huge fan of sweats.

The guys also rocked leather pants this weekend. Lebron James and Drake both rocked En Noir leather sweatpants

Drake rocked a red pair and because Lebron is so huge his pants were kind of snug

The Queen was at the All-Stargame in Houston after an amazing Bey weekend. Beyonce sat down with Oprah for a Next Chapter Interview then the premiere of her self-directed documentary Life is But a DreamI guess she was able to share the spotlight with the National Basketball Association right?

Hip Hops favorite couple were out and about Monday night at the Knicks vs. Nets game. Being that Jay-z is part owner of the Nets it was only right that he showed up at the game, and of course with Beyonce. So for the past few weeks there has been a lot of hype about Jeremy Lin and him reviving the Knicks (Linsanity). This was also a big game because Carmelo Anthony returned to the court after missing 7, well really 8, straight games. The outcome wasn’t what I expected as a Knick fan (since 1992) but I have to give credit where credit is due and Deron Williams played one heck of a game.

Ok now that I got the sports talk out of the way, let’s get to the real discussion, Beyonce’s outfit of the night. Most female celebs show up to the games like they are going clubbing immediately after. Beyonce always keeps it casual and classy. She wore a pair of skinny jeans, whit t-shirt, Rag & Bone Tuxedo Blazer, which retails for $495 and Christian Louboutin Panama Geometrico Pumps.

Here are some options for you to get the look at a fraction of the cost

Blazers

Skinny Jeans

Beyonce has graced the cover of yet another magazine. In the August/September 2011 issue of Complex Beyonce talks about being inspired by Jay-Z, working with Frank Ocean, and the “feuds” with other artists. Check out more photos below
