The fits start coming, and they don’t stop coming.
There are some celebrities whose knockout looks you could count on two hands. But rounding up Beyoncé's most stunning outfits? That's a nearly impossible feat. The artist has been on the scene for two decades and has had so many hit singles and albums that the number of stages and red carpets she's stepped out on is big enough to jumble the brain. Of course, there's been an incredible look to go along with each one of those occasions, so you can imagine that her outfit repertoire is pretty unparalleled.
Also important to note is that Beyoncé's style has always been refined to perfection. While so-called naked dresses, gowns dripping in jewels and embellishments, and mermaid silhouettes have constituted many of her red carpet looks, each one has its own unique spin to it. And when she does eschew her glamorous gowns for something a bit more unexpected, it's always a visual treat. Below, treat yourself to 35 of Beyoncé's most show-stopping looks. Spanning from present day all the way back to 2003, the list is a walk down memory lane and will remind you of many moments that made the performer the straight-up icon she is today.
You better believe Beyoncé looked like a golden queen at the premiere of the new live-action The Lion King movie. Draped in a shimmering metallic dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline and dramatic train, the singer showed fans what royalty looks like.
Let us never forget the greatest Coachella headlining performance there ever was. Dressed in a collegiate sweatshirt that paid homage to HBCUs and fringy holographic boots, Beyoncé completely shut it down, all while championing Black excellence.
If we ever needed proof that Beyoncé is a literal angel, this fashion moment was it — golden halo and all.
This ice blue dress is everything! Regal, whimsical, and sensuous, the intricate gown takes after the woman wearing it.
Need I even explain? This yellow dress will forever mark one of the most epic projects and moments in Beyoncé's career.
Literally, no one else on Earth could wear a latex dress and make it look this good.
That ponytail, though. Naked dress, mermaid silhouette, and major embellishments, all in one. Unsurprisingly, Beyoncé made this look hit it way out of the park.
This bob will forever remind me of this iconic music video. Its blunt shape perfectly contrasts this romantic white lace dress.

Black and gold seem to be her favorite colors to wear, and it's easy to see why.
Remember this iconic moment? While wearing this purple sequin blazer, Beyoncé revealed to the world that she was pregnant with her first child, Blue Ivy. Sob!
The fit of this dress is absolute perfection. It's crisp, smooth, and a gorgeous departure from Beyoncé's more elaborate fashion choices.
Simple as this look may be, I just had to include it. Because hot tamale, she looks damn good.
It's crazy how some dresses from a decade ago can transcend time and still remain as gorgeous and relevant now as they were in their original heyday.
Mermaid meets brocade. This Beyoncé outfit just oozes elegance.
No one can perform in a literal sequin gown like Bey. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules.
This dress is so mid-2000s, and I am so here for it. The pink silk, the mesh overlay, the embroidered flowers — it's all so good.
TFW you match all five of your Grammys.
In Harper’s Bazaar’s Icons issue in August 2021, Beyoncé brings back her “Daddy Lessons” Western style. Her crocheted Valentino sweater doesn’t skimp on the fringe. However, the devil’s in the details: a Stetson, leather gloves, and a chunky Tiffany’s necklace.
Even in 2000, Bey was ahead of the times. Now, 21 years later, people are still rocking similar bandana tops.
The Grammys are pretty much Beyoncé’s party, and she stunted in her custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture leather dress. The dress had built-in gloves, with, in Bey style, gold nail details added.
Pants for days. These wide-leg floral pants are a scene-stealer, but Bey styled them well with a tied-up, white button-down and tinted shades. It’s the perfect look for a daytime date.
OK, feathers. Bey is ready to take flight in this look, but if you pay close attention, you’ll also note the Egyptian hieroglyph print detailing this top.
This pink, mesh jumpsuit with orange details is a look in-and-of-itself, but Bey took it a step further with a corset to match.
Bringing back the early ‘00s holographic print, this look is the ideal combo of comfy and seductive. Big, cozy jacket paired with thigh-high boots? Sign me up.
This red-and-gold look from 2003 has me feeling “Crazy in Love.” Like a true 2000s It Girl, the belly button ring is on full display.
Accessories to the max. Bey pulled out every accessory stop with this logomania, jewel-encrusted look.
Yes, ‘60s ski resort, go off! All that’s missing is a puffer, one of those fur caps, and a muff.
Bey is doused in gems in this illusion dress. There are so many details in this look, it’s impossible to list them all, but my favorite is the high neck loaded with intricate lace.
Only Beyoncé could strike this pose in a mesh bodysuit.
When going out on the town, the artist usually wears black and gold palettes, but d*mn if Beyoncé doesn’t slay in this wavy, color-filled pantsuit. Where can I buy one?
This white pantsuit literally redefines the concept of drippin’ as Bey has chains covering the suit like she’s the coolest chandelier ever brought to life.
Let’s just take a moment to marvel at baby Bey and see just how far her style has come. She and her style will live on as iconic forever.
From 2000 to now, Beyoncé stays the absolute, most fashionable star in the world.
