Beyonce is the epitome of sexy: she's Sasha Fierce, 'Bootylicious,' and makes guys worldwide wish they would have put a ring on it. But at the end of the day, she's just herself. Beyonce shares in the new UK issue of Cosmopolitan how she makes herself feel sexy when she's not gracing magazine covers.

"You can be beautiful but if you're not secure in yourself, you don't come across as sexy," Beyonce stresses. "I love a pair of high, sexy stilettos with a beautiful dress."

Given, Beyonce has the legs to rock that short dress and heels, but the point remains that women need a way to feel desirable -- and she shares her secrets to being sexy for her husband, hip-hop mogul Jay-Z.

"Never be predictable," the 'Single Ladies' singer adds, instructing readers on how to spice things up for their significant others. "Mix it up. Surprise him. Change your hair. Be the woman he knows with a little bit of a twist."

It may be hard for some women to take advice from the seemingly flawless 29-year-old starlet -- who likely has the stylists and personal trainers we can only dream about. But Beyonce insists that she's human and indulges just like the rest of us. "I love my butter pecan ice cream," she says, adding, "but I also love to work out. We all have our issues. Mine is arms and legs, keeping them tight and toned. It takes work, believe me."

Above all else, Beyonce encourages her fans and fellow females to strive for a higher step. "My attitude is, there is always room for growth," she says. "I feel more comfortable about expressing myself."
