Beyonce Does Marie Claire June 2009

Beyonce Knowles graces the cover of Marie Claire’s June 2009 issue as she prepares to hit the road on her latest world tour, I Am . . ., which will keep her busy through 2010.

“She’s a rarity—she just totally gets it,” says Beyonce’s longtime creative director, Frank Gatson Jr. “I knew it when I met her when she was 15 years old. I said, ‘How can you be so sweet? How can you be so tactful? How can you be so hands-on? What is that?’”

According to her mother, Tina, “She stays up late reviewing tapes, studying them to make it better. It’s hard for me—it’s one of the reasons I go on tour. I’m always the person to make her go to bed. I’m still her mother, so I can walk up and close the computer and tell her to go to bed.”
