Beyonce Bans Press Photographers from Her Mrs Carter Show Tour

Beyonce has banned press photographers from her Mrs Carter Show World Tour in an apparent attempt to prevent the release of unflattering pictures.

No photo credentials are to be granted for her concerts, her UK publicist has confirmed, and instead she's hired her own snapper, Frank Micelotta, to capture her in action - and her best angles. 

Fstoppers.com revealed Beyonce's company Parkwood Entertainment is giving out three to five pre-approved images shot to media after the show.

The photography ban comes after it was widely reported back in February the singer's publicist had asked agencies or websites to remove 'unflattering' photos of Beyonce during the energetic performance at the Super Bowl.

However, bloggers fear that the move by the diva's camp may backfire, with publications and websites instead buying in pictures from fans and amateurs.

Beyonce's costumes: Pucci releases sketches of Mrs Carter's blinging world tour outfits!

Destiny's Child might have rocked some of the most iconic fashion looks of the 1990s, but Beyoncé has come a long way since letting her mother dress her for the stage.

The global superstar has kicked off her Mrs Carter Show tour in outfits designed by some of the world's top fashion houses.

Julien Macdonald, Dsquared2, and Ralph and Russo have all contributed to her showstopping stage wardrobe and today Italian label Pucci released inception sketches of their creations for the 31-year-old megastar.

Peter Dundas, Emilio Pucci Creative Director, worked with Beyoncé to create costumes that resonate with the singer's 'modern take on glamour'. 

Dundas drew inspiration from the Fall/Winter 2013-14 Show Collection, reinterpreting the rock goddess theme through fabrics and proportions.

PHOTOS: Beyoncé Raciest Outfit yet! Sequin Encrusted Bodysuit Decorated with Faux Breasts

If it was Beyoncé's wish to grab the attention - and the headlines - on the opening night of her Mrs. Carter tour, she certainly succeeded.

While her bootylicious body alone is enough to catch the eye - the singer took no chances as she graced the stage in her raciest costume yet.

Beyoncé, 31, stunned concert goers in a gold sequin-encrusted bodysuit adorned with a pair of trompe l'oeil breasts - complete with protruding nipples - as she stormed the stage in Belgrade, Serbia on Monday evening.

More Photos after the cut:

Although the singer started her career in clothes designed by mother Tina Knowles, she enlisted the help of some famous friends while putting together the wardrobe for her latest extravaganza.

British designer Julien Macdonald designed pieces for Beyoncé's wardrobe.

Likewise, Emilio Pucci creative director Peter Dundas and Dsquared2 designers Dean and Dan Caten, and Ralph and Russo are also said to have collaborated with the pop idol.

PHOTOS: Beyonce IN Bikini: Hot! For H&M!

Over the last few weeks, Beyonce has faced a bit of controversy.

First in regard to the single "Bow Down." And then for taking a trip to Cuba in celebration of her five-year wedding anniversary.

But there's nothing controversial about a new set of Beyonce bikini photos that H&M has released as part of a new ad campaign: They're hot! Case closed!

The 32-year old superstar is the face (and body!) of a tropical-themed swimsuit line from H&M, flaunting her physique to the world in a series of colorful photos.

And giving back in the process:

25 percent of proceeds from the collection (titled H&M for Water) will go toward H&M for WaterAid, which raises money for those in poverty to gain access to safe water.

So there you go, people. You can stare at Beyonce bikini pictures and feel as if you're being charitable at the same time!

Beyonce, Jay-Z Mark Fifth Wedding Anniversary in Cuba

Beyonce and Jay-Z are in Havana, celebrating their fifth year of marriage.

And causing quite a stir, as Beyonce and Jay-Z do, anniversary or not!

The superstars were mobbed by dozens of fans at La Guarida, a popular restaurant. Police had to be called to keep the crowds at bay.

It was not clear why they traveled to Cuba ... or how.

But congratulations on the fifth anniversary!

Beyonce, World's Smallest Dog, Turns 1!

Beyonce appeared on Today to celebrate her birthday.

The world's smallest dog, not the singing-dancing-acting sensation.

The adorable little cutie was born last spring and unveiled by Beth DeCaprio of Northern California's Grace Foundation, a rehabilitation ranch for animals.

Veterinarians had their doubts the preemie would survive but, a year later, she's thriving! Weighing a whole three pounds! All together now ... AWW.
