Beyoncé needs no introduction. From instant classics (“Single Ladies”) to seminal music videos (“Formation”), the superstar’s career has been defined by her ability to consistently raise the bar. She’s also taught us a thing or two about beauty along the way—and, of course, entered the market herself with her Cécred line of hair products.
At the 2026 Met Gala, fans are looking forward to seeing Queen Bey ascend the museum steps for the first time in a decade, returning as co-chair alongside Nicole Kidman, Venus Williams, and Anna Wintour. The famous singer is known for going all out on the biggest night in fashion and staying firmly on theme. Take her sleek coiffure for 2011’s “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” Costume Institute exhibition, or her surrealist coral lip the following year for “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations.”
Here, revisit 24 of Beyoncé’s best beauty looks ahead of her Met Gala return.
