New leaked photos of Beyoncé — or as her fans call her “Queen Bey” — are making waves online. 

More than two-hundred un-retouched images of the Grammy Award-winning singer were uploaded to fan site thebeyonceworld.com on Wednesday.

The photos below were "outtakes" from a 2013 L'Oréal Paris beauty campaign in which Beyoncé was a brand ambassador.

But the site quickly removed the photos after what they call “disdain from the Beyhive” —​ or Beyoncé fans, and posted the following message:

“...We don’t want to cause any drama, nor do we wish to start fan wars. Some of the things we have seen posted were just horrible, and we don’t want any parts of it. We were just posting the photos to share the fact that our queen is naturally beautiful, at the same time she is just a regular woman.”

However, numerous blogs and news sites managed to lift the photos before they were removed.

Curious to know what the finished product looked like? Here's a video from the Beyonce's L'Oréal Paris ad campaign.
