I've seen this picture now a few times, is it legit? It's supposed to be Beyoncé Knowles.

Alleged picture of Beyoncé Knowles

Here is a claim that assumes it is legit.

    I don't understand what there is to be skeptical of? Haven't you ever seen an unflattering picture of someone while they were dancing or doing any other activity? – Sam I Am Feb 08 '13 at 23:03
  • @SamIAm meet photoshop. Photoshop meet Sam I Am. – Evan Carroll Feb 08 '13 at 23:10

    Yes, I understand photoshop exists, but with many many cameras taking many many pictures of someone **dancing**, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't a few unflattering ones. – Sam I Am Feb 08 '13 at 23:13

Most likely yes as the outfit and background are consistent with her appearance at the Super Bowl XLVII half time show. A minor caveat due to the fact that I can't find an official source of the image although Huffington Post UK is using it.

Similar pictures have actually been turning up due to their unflattering nature and this has allegedly led to Beyoncé’s publicist allegedly wanting some unflattering pictures removed from the internet which has caused them to spread a bit more.

I have found the picture in question with the background removed provided for stock for a Photoshop Contest, as shown below. This to me also backs up it being an original as opposed to manipulated already.
