Bey covers the latest digital issue of British magazine, The Gentle Woman.  It's released only twice a year and focus on the finer things of fashion and style.  Inside, she models in black and white for their spring/summer 2013 issue in a shoot captured by Alasdair McLellan.  Simplistic and classic.

She says, “In the industry the biggest mistake is not being in your right mind, and then not making the right judgement.”
