England has Queen Elizabeth, America has Queen Bey. On Saturday, September 4th Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter turns 40. From her start in Destiny’s Child to launching her Ivy Park collections, the 28-time Grammy Award-winner’s soul-stirring vocals and empowering lyrics have always been complemented by inspiring looks on and off the stage. After delivering anthems with Destiny’s Child, like “Bills, Bills, Bills” and “Survivor,” Beyoncé continued her rise to the top, releasing six solo studio albums, starring in multiple films, marrying husband Jay-Z and welcoming children Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir. Though her career has spanned decades, one thing has remained the same: Her ability to empower through music, fashion and activism. Below, we celebrate Beyoncé’s milestone birthday with 40 of our favorite looks.
