Gossip: Beyoncé appears nude on cover of Flaunt magazine

Beyoncé Knowles has posed for her raciest cover yet, as the mother of one appeared nude for magazine Flaunt.

With her blushes spared only by a liberal coating of bronze glitter, it is possibly her most revealing photoshoot to date.

The daring editorial by photographer Tony Duran was shot in 2011 as part of her Year of 4 album campaign, but now the pictures have emerged in a stunning editorial in Flaunt magazine.
