All Hail Queen Bey: Beyonce’s Style Evolution

In the early 2000’s, it was rare to catch a glimpse of young Queen B without the rest of her Destiny’s Child bandmates, but even in coordinated House of Deréon ensembles, Beyonce still managed to stand apart. We love the edgy fit of this studded leather corset and maxi skirt.

While we get the intention behind the cutesy getup, this girl scout co-ord moment was definitely a miss, as the “sexy scout” ensembles looked more creepy than cute on the singing trio. Around this time, Beyonce’s fashion sense seemed to lean more toward costumes versus couture, but it wouldn’t be long before the budding superstar would start dabbling in new styles.

Newly-embarked on her solo career and Dangerously in Love with hip-hop heavyweight JayZ, Beyonce commanded all eyes on her at the 2005 Academy Awards — where, we might remind you, she later performed on stage several times, singing almost every song nominated under “Best Original”. Stepping out in this luxurious black velvet gown with fitted bodice, designed by Atelier Versace, Beyonce proved she was more than capable of handling a solo spotlight.

Beyonce stunned during her red carpet appearance at the NYC premiere for her film Dreamgirls in 2006. Wearing an ultra-feminine, floaty gown in a blush pink hue with delicate beading and sparkly details, Beyonce looked every bit the leading lady.

It was all about the metallic trend for Beyonce in 2007, where the majority of her red carpet moments had her shining bright in statement-making gold and silver gowns. Of all the high-shine moments for Queen Bey in 2007, we love how she rocked this golden Elie Saab gown with daring neckline to the — in keeping with the theme — Golden Globes.

Just like her career, Beyonce’s red-carpet style has always been about experimentation and evolution, and while we can’t say the sparkly Balmain mini dress she wore to the 2009 BET Awards is one of our favourites, we love her willingness to try new things and have fun with her fashion.

These are the most unforgettable red carpet beauty looks of all time.

Sporting the ultra-flattering blush-pink Stephane Rolland gown to the 2010 Grammy Awards, Beyonce works a fresh-faced beauty look and showcases her signature hourglass figure.

Inspired by the theme of the evening, Beyonce stepped onto the 2011 MET Gala red carpet in a black-and-gold fishtail design gown by Emilio Pucci. How she managed to walk in this gown, we’ll never know, but she looked incredible standing still.

From the epic moment where Beyonce first revealed her hidden baby bump under a sequin blazer while performing on stage, to this sparkly mini dress-moment on the momma-to-be at the launch of her Pulse fragrance in 2011, we loved every bit of Beyonce’s pregnancy fashion.

Rocking a shorter blonde ‘do and punchy red lips, Beyonce turned heads in a sheer white lace gown by then-lesser-known designer Michael Costello. The backless dress was an instant hit on the red carpet and would go down as one of Beyonce’s most iconic red carpet looks. Now a veteran of the red carpet, Beyonce’s style risks reflect a heightened awareness of what works — and what doesn’t.

We’re not sure how exactly this barely-there number played to the MET Gala’s 2015 theme of “China: Through the Looking Glass”, but Beyonce made this one red carpet moment to remember. Leaving little to the imagination, Beyonce’s Givenchy gown featured strategically-placed rhinestone details, but little else in terms of fabric beyond the sheer, nude fitted overlay that constituted the majority of the “gown”. Regardless of the fact that she was, essentially, nearly-nude, the look was a hit and definitely a case of MET Gala-appropriate costume-styling.

OK, so this may not be the most wearable red-carpet gown that Beyonce has stepped out in, but in terms of fun-fashion, this feathery design was one for the books. In a pretty pale green, the exaggerated shoulders, collar and wing-like details toward the back of the gown had Beyonce looking angelic and oh-so high-fashion.

Pregnant with twins at the 2017 Grammy Awards, Beyonce absolutely stole the show in a fitted red sequin Peter Dundas gown with super low-cut neckline and glamorous long sleeves.
