Beyoncé stripped down to her origins for her new album cover, donning her maiden name and her birthday suit.
The 28-time Grammy winner, 42, went naked under another pageant sash in the second promo image for Cowboy Carter, her eighth studio album and country music debut.
In the photo, Bey serves a Venus pose, rocking long beaded braids and holding a lit cigarette billowing with smoke.
Her body is concealed by a sash that reads ‘act ii BEYINCÉ’, which is her family’s name.
Born Celestine Beyoncé, the artist has explained that she’s one of several in her family whose last name was misprinted on her birth certificate.

She served rodeo queen in red, white and blue ensemble while riding on the back of a white horse and waving a giant American flag.
Sporting a sash with album title — which features her married name — gives the second sash with her maiden name an interesting significance.
In addition to the new promo image, Beyoncé delivered another country look in a shoot with husband Jay-Z from their Oscars night Gold Party.
The Destiny’s Child alum served some King vibes, curling her lip like Elvis Presley to reveal a jeweled grill underneath.
Her ensemble gave off Graceland vibes as well, donning a black suit with matching stetson and sunglasses.
A mane of wavy blonde hair cascaded down to her hips as she shot finger guns and did an Elvis hip shake.
