Get behind bars in this Solid & Striped swimsuit

It may not be the 4th of July, but Beyonce still showed her patriotic side when she donned a striped swimsuit in front of an American flag on the cover of Beat magazine.

The Crazy In Love singer wore her red and white one-piece by Solid & Striped under a cropped crimson colored hoodie.

We love the simple silhouette and bold vertical bars on this no frills number. Whether worn alone or with a pair of denim cut off shorts, it makes a great statement at the beach or a pool party.

Wearing a red and white striped bathing suit, she stands proudly in front of a billowing American flag.

A cropped red hoodie covers her chest, as Beyonce poses in a field, hand on head.

Shot by Ryan McGinley in the Hamptons, the autumn cover has been released online by the free music paper, which started out as a fanzine in a windowless basement in east London.

Beyonce may be hoping to borrow some of the small title's credibility - which giving the magazine a welcome profile boost in return.
