Oh Hello, Beyoncé With a Mullet

Beyoncé is entering a new era, and we're not just talking about music. After announcing a forthcoming country album and new hair-care line, the superstar has been gracing numerous magazine covers. The latest is CR Fashion Book's 24th issue, dubbed "Audacious." In one of the photos, she poses in a graphic t-shirt that's cinched by a corset. In the photo, she is also wearing a skunk-colored mullet.

The look is true to the original version of the hairstyle — short at the front and sides, and long in the back. To add to the slight "grunge" factor that she has going on with the outfit, the mullet — which is likely a wig — is a salt-and-pepper shade, with some areas appearing lighter or darker and some ending up as a perfect blend of the two shades, creating a gorgeous grey hue.

The look is a big departure for the star, who can more readily be seen with her signature honey-blond curls and, more recently, a straight platinum look. Still, the bold transformation has delivered the desired effect: people worldwide are continuing to chatter about her beauty brand, Cécred. "It has always been a dream of mine to create top-of-the-line, luxury products," Beyoncé told CR Fashion Book. "I wanted to combine the best scientific advancements with true rituals from different heritages. I'm interested in solving real problems. I want to break down myths and stereotypes when it comes to our hair." As she enters a new chapter in her musical journey, the star seems to be in an era of total experimentation, which feels fitting.

Inspired yet? We thought so. Take a closer look at Beyoncé's hair below, and remember — as excited as you're feeling about your own potential mullet transformation right now, it's always best to see a professional when deciding on a dramatic haircut. (You've been sufficiently warned.) CR Fashion Book Issue 24 will be available on newsstands on March 29.
