Beyonce feels sexiest with bare feet and messy hair.

The "Dreamgirls" star - who has dated rapper Jay Z for five years - says women who are not overtly sexual are the most attractive.

Beyonce told Cosmopolitan magazine: "I like to walk around my house with bare feet and messy hair, but that can be sexy, too. I have an old-fashioned view on sexuality, in that I don't think it should be in your face. It's the opposite of who I am on stage."

The singer-and-actress also revealed she took part in beauty pageants as a child, but hated them and dressed like a tomboy.

She said: "We all have our insecurities and, to this day, I see plenty of things wrong with myself. As a young girl I did beauty pageants, but I hated them. I always wore baggy clothes and never won.

"I was a bit of a tomboy when I was a kid and never really thought of myself as pretty."

Beyonce your performance in Orlando was great. However, try not to use God name in vain and you won't have to worry about any tumbles down any stairs.
