When it comes to celebrities who stand out in their fashion style, a few popular names come to mind – Beyoncé is one of such people. Over the years, her style has evolved, and she has only gotten better at giving her fans fashion inspiration and hair ideas.
It’s that time of the year when the weather gets cooler, and we prepare for the holiday season; the Christmas season is one of my best periods, and I am sure it is also for most people. Aside from spending time with family and friends, it is also an opportunity to look your best and show off your new hairstyle.
Before we dive into some of the best of Queen Bey’s hairstyles you can replicate this festive period, let’s take a look at her life and what makes her famous.
Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter was born on 4 September 1981 in Housten, Texas, to Celestina Knowles) and father (Mattew Knowles). She has a younger sister named Solange Knowles, and they both have No. 1 albums. She attended a catholic school in Houston, where she enrolled to take dancing classes.
Her singing ability was discovered by her dance instructor Darlette Johnson during a dance class when he began humming a song, and Beyoncé was able to finish the song while hitting the high-pitched notes. She continued to excel in her music career, and at the age of seven, she won a school talent show beating other 15/16-year-olds in the competition.
Beyoncé, childhood friend Kelly Rowland and three other girls were placed in a group called Girl’s Tyme for a talent show when she was eight; the group didn’t win the competition, but they continued to perform as an opening act for other established R&B girl groups. When Beyoncé was 14, her dad became her manager, and the girl group eventually signed to Colombia Records after several auditions.
Beyoncé rose to fame in the late 1990s as the lead singer of Destiny’s child, and their hiatus saw the release of her debut solo album Dangerously in love (2003). After this, she has released other albums and has won 28 Grammys since the launch of her career.
Beyoncé is married to rapper Jay-Z, and they have three children together (Blue-Ivy, and the twins Rumi and Sir). In December 2021, Beyoncé appeared alongside her daughters — Blue Ivy and Rumi Carter — in an ad for her new Ivy Park collection, which was in collaboration with Adidas.
Aside from her fame as an artist, she is quite famous for her sense of fashion style and her stylish hairstyles. Let’s take a look at some of her memorable hairstyles over the years.
