Naughty Girl! Beyoncé parades her killer curves in leopard-print underwear and a cropped baseball top in racy GQ cover

She may have only welcomed baby daughter, Blue Ivy, into the world a year ago.
But Beyonce proved she is hotter than ever as she posed up a storm for Terry Richardson in a sexy shoot for GQ magazine.
With the cover online ahead of its official release date of January 15, the 31-year-old singer can be seen parading her killer curves in a barely-there ensemble.

Racy: Beyonce's upcoming GQ magazine cover shows the star parading her killer curves in a barely-there ensemble

A daring blue and white cropped baseball top only just protected the Naughty Girl hitmaker's modesty, while she flaunted her toned and taut stomach in skimpy red and black leopard-print underwear.

 

Displaying not even the merest hint of a mum tum, the superstar completed her cover girl look with a touch of bling in the form of a chunky gold necklace and a dangling navel adornment.
Positively smouldering as she pulled her most seductive post towards the camera, Beyonce ran her hands through her hair, which fell in loose, tumbling waves around her shoulders.

And it would seem the sexy new direction for the mother-of-one went down a storm with her fans, with many posting their admiration on their Twitter pages after seeing the leaked cover.
One wrote: 'Beyonce's cover shoot for GQ Magazine is sexy as f**k.'
Another added: 'I think I'm a lesbian after seeing Beyonce's GQ cover. Somebody throw me in a pool. I need water. I'm still trippin off Beyoncé's GQ cover.'

Meanwhile, numerous fans compared her cover to Rihanna's recent naked shoot: 'Didn't know Beyonce was on the cover of GQ and Oh my goodness she put rihanna to shame.'
It would appear Beyonce could have baby daughter Blue Ivy, her first child with rapper husband Jay-Z, 43, to thank for her incredible cover, as she recently admitted she has felt 'more beautiful than ever' after becoming a mother.
She told People magazine after being crowned 2012's Most Beautiful Woman: 'I feel more beautiful than I've ever felt because I've given birth. The best thing about having a daughter is having a true legacy. The word "love" means something completely different now.'
