As we anxiously await the arrival of the Act I: Renaissance visuals, we’re celebrating another holiday—9/4/81—B’Day. Today Queen Bey is celebrating her birthday, undoubtedly enjoying what has been an amazing summer. A number album, number one song, and multiple singles in the top ten without a single music video or performance—an anomaly in the year 2022.

On Film: Beyoncé's Greatest Movie and Television Looks
We're celebrating Bey's b-day with style flashbacks to her greatest film looks
To celebrate Beyoncé’s birthday last year, we did a deep dive into the history of her sophomore solo album B’Day, which was also a couple of days removed from celebrating its fifteenth anniversary.
This year, we figured we would do a special edition of our Fashion on Film series with a look back at some of Bey’s most memorable tv and film fashion looks. While Beyoncé made her official film debut with the 2001 MTV film Carmen: A Hip-Hopera, she actually began adding to her acting credits as early 1998 when Destiny’s Child appeared on the hit series Smart Guy.
Here’s some of her best.
1. Smart Guy (1998)
2. The Famous Jett Jackson (2000)
3. Carmen: A Hip Hopera (2001)
4. Goldmember (2002)
Here’s a throwback to the “Work It Out” video as well.
5. The Fighting Temptations (2003)
6. The Pink Panther (2006)
From the white halter dress to the glittery gold number she wore during the ballroom performance, looks were definitely served.
7. Dreamgirls (2006)
8. Cadillac Records (2008)
9. Obsessed (2008)
10. The Gift (2019/2020)
Happy Birthday Bey! We look forward to everything else you have planned for this era.
