She’s a whole lotta woman.
After landing the iconic role of Foxxy Cleopatra in the 2002 hit film “Austin Powers In Goldmember,” Beyoncé wasn’t afraid to speak her mind.
The 28-time Grammy Award winner was just 19 years old when she landed the FBI agent role.
Despite her tender age, Queen Bey had no problem telling bosses she didn’t like the movie’s poster as it made her look “too skinny.”
Speaking to Vulture on the 20th anniversary of the film’s release, Kate Biscoe, the movie’s makeup artist, said the poster was sent back for editing after the singer asked them to show more of her curves.
“When we were shooting, someone brought her a poster that would be promoting the movie,” Biscoe told the outlet.
“He showed it to her, like, ‘Do you like it?’ And she was kind of like, ‘Yeah.’ He goes, ‘What’s the matter?’ And she says, ‘You made me too skinny. It’s not me. Then she did this hourglass shape. And he said, ‘Okay, we’ll fix that.'”

“He was like, ‘Yes. It’s going to cost me thousands of dollars, but I am going to do it.'”
Beyoncé’s appearance in the “Austin Powers” franchise marked her second major acting project after having starred in “Carmen: A Hip Hopera,” in 2001.
