Instantly introduced to this magazine we are opened with a Lead Line of 'Beyonce strips down for summer' this links to the main image of the cover (Beyonce herself)- Showing a clear link between the text and the artist, also the way she has been styled represents her in a seductive manner, again linking back to the lead line 'strips down' the link between summer and Beyonce being shown wet is also present, this again adds to the seductive side of the cover as the water makes part of her top see through, this could appeal mainly to a large population of the magazines readers.
This way of representation appeals the artist (Beyonce) to the category of music in which this magazines readers listen to because it shows women as a whole in a certain way, hip hop and R&B especially, showing women as more items than anything else, there to draw men's attention and look nice (sexy) as Beyonce does on this cover.
