She wrote, "I saw firsthand how the ways we nurture and celebrate hair can directly impact our souls," she wrote. “I watched her heal and be of service to so many women. Having learned so much on my hair journey, I've always dreamed of carrying on her legacy. I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve been creating."

The Essence cover news comes a day after Beyoncé made a surprise appearance front row at the Luar fashion show Tuesday night.

Just days after breaking the internet (again) with her "Act II" album announcement and the release of two new singles, Beyoncé popped up at New York Fashion Week to mass hysteria and camera flashes from the stunned crowd.

Decked out in a silver ensemble — complete with a bejeweled blazer dress, a silver hood dripping in gems, thigh-high boots and a sparkling silver cowboy hat (apropos of her new singles "16 Carriages" and "Texas Hold 'Em") plus a matching iridescent Luar bag — and flanked by mom Tina Knowles and famed bodyguard Julius de Boer, the entire room shifted when Queen Bey arrived at her seat moments before the show started in a Brooklyn warehouse.
