Tina Knowles Fabulously Covered 'Ebony'

by Rosie Narasaki

Usually, it's her daughters that take the spotlight, but Tina Knowles just seriously knocked out of the park with her cover of Ebony magazine. Knowles graced the cover of the "Sexy Forever" issue, and (spoiler alert) she absolutely slayed. Beyoncé and Solange's ultra-fabulous mother has always been quite the cool lady — I mean, did you see the letter she wrote to Beyoncé, Solange, Kelly Rowland, and her niece Angie Beyince on Mother's Day? Her super-sweet relationship/business savvy-filled relationship (move over, momager Kris Jenner) with her children has always been inspiring — oh, and as long as we're on the topic, she definitely gave both of her famously fashionable daughters a serious run for their money in the wedding dress department. Now she has an inspirational mag cover to add to her long list of personal wins.

Tina graced the cover in a Jessica Rabbit-worthy slinky siren-red gown, and she paired the showstopping dress with crazy-good makeup game (including a classic red lip, major falsies, and some fabulously-arched eyebrows), equally crazy-good hair game, and an honest to god CROWN (because, really — what else could possibly be more fitting?). Altogether, it's kind of perfection.

Pretty much the definition of a win, right? Besides, as she so eloquently puts it in the accompanying interview:

I had some reservations, but as I thought of all the women who tell me daily that I have inspired them to live a wholehearted life, which includes your sexuality. I am proud to be 61 years old and to not be putting limitations on my lifestyle. We can still be sexy and vibrant, fashionable, classy and fly until the day we die!

#SexyForever INDEED.
