Beyoncé did not like the skirt that came with the diamond top so she got into Markus Klinko’s jeans. Markus has worked with Beyoncé many times through the years —from Pepsi to L’Oreal — and pretty much every time they talk about the jeans moment. She kept the jeans for a while and at some point she FedEx’d them back to him and said, ‘Please don’t sell them on eBay!.’

‘The first concepts had Beyoncé very covered up and proper, wearing beautiful long gowns, and we didn’t really think that they conveyed who she was. She’s got such a strong spirit and she’s so grounded and there’s something incredibly luminous about her. We really wanted to create an image that reflected those qualities. Amongst the styling, there was this piece that was made out of stones that was actually in pretty poor shape — it had about half as many stones as the final result — and it was very heavy and uncomfortable. We talked her into trying it and she was amazing. She was ready to try it even though it was awkward and uncomfortable.’ Markus Klinko
