As one of the biggest artists on the planet, Beyoncé has an army of stylists and makeup artists around her to help her sport plenty of daring looks for her tours, music videos, and beyond. In a video shared by Tina Knowles on her social media recently, Beyoncé did exactly that with her totally different appearance.
Tina’s super famous daughter, 42, could be seen wearing an all-white ensemble in the short clip from a photoshoot and was wearing her hair in a blond, cropped-bob style. Fans were left somewhat baffled by the video, which was originally taken in 2013, with some initially thinking it was a recent snap of Bey, meaning the ‘Halo’ singer had undergone a dramatic transformation.
One person summed it up by writing: “As big of a fan [I am], I always see new pictures or videos of Bey I’m like, how did I miss this??” Another added: “What did you do???” as a third wrote: “I’m flabbergasted.”
However, another fan cleared up the confusion, stating the video featured in the superstar’s 2013 Mrs. Carter official calendar. Tina, 70, had written in the caption: “Wow this looks like a Cécred day,” which led some fans to believe that Beyoncé had embraced a new hairstyle in support of her new haircare line, Cécred.
The launch of her new line of haircare products was incredibly personal for Beyoncé. The range was inspired by her mother Tina’s career working as a hairdresser and salon owner for years. At the time she launched the range, the 42-year-old explained: “I was exposed to so many different kinds of entrepreneurial women in her salon. I saw firsthand how the ways we nurture and celebrate hair can directly impact our souls.”
The ‘Sweet Dreams’ singer added: “I watched her heal and be of service to so many women. Having learned so much on my hair journey, I’ve always dreamed of carrying on her legacy.” Beyoncé concluded: “I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve been creating.”
Although the video shared by Tina was not recent, Beyoncé has sported a platinum look many times over the years. The singer, who is married to rapper Jay Z with whom she shares three children, Blue Ivy Carter, 12, and six-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir, embraced blond locks ahead of the launch of her most recent album, Cowboy Carter.
Putting your hair through such changes requires a dedicated nourishment routine. As the superstar previously explained to Essence in their March/April issue: “It’s all about moisture for me – adding oil to my scalp and covering my hair at night so the oils could penetrate.” She added, explaining her techniques are to “avoid friction, my hair reverting, and using unnecessary heat.”
Beyoncé has ditched her platinum blonde hair in favor of a new hue – and what better time to debut her transformation than at the launch of her haircare line, Cécred. The 42-year-old looked incredible as she showed off her gorgeous honey-colored locks at the intimate event held at Revery in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
The deeper blonde tones complemented her skin tone and tumbled down in waves from a half-up style that showcased every highlight. Not only did her hair look fabulous, but her all-white outfit did too. Beyoncé rocked head-to-toe Prabal Gurung, wearing a white silk cotton hand-pleated plisse sculpted sari bodysuit with a cotton silk kurta blouse and dhoti pants from the spring-summer 2024 collection.
The designer was overjoyed to see Beyoncé in his creations, writing on Instagram: “My favorite diva of all time, Queen B, seamlessly navigates different cultures, styles, silhouettes, genres, etc, the way she does with her music.” He added: “Hence, she reigns supreme. Thank you, B.”
She accessorized with dazzling De Beers jewelry, including the brand’s Metamorphosis by De Beers ‘Prelude’ Necklace and Brooch, Light Fall Diamond Earrings, and Cipher Diamond Ring. Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, 70, was on hand to support her daughter, she is vice chairwoman of Cécred after all, and she looked equally as stunning, twinning with Bey in an all-white outfit that consisted of a Nadine Merabi lace jumpsuit with wide legs and nude lining.
Tina was part of the inspiration behind Beyoncé’s debut haircare brand. She opened the Headliners salon in Houston, Texas, in 1990, and it’s where her daughter had her first job. “How many of ya’ll knew my first job was sweeping hair in my mama’s salon?” she previously wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of her styling her natural curls. “Destiny’s Child got our start by performing for clients while they were getting their hair done,” she continued.
“I was exposed to so many different kinds of entrepreneurial women in her salon. I saw firsthand how the ways we nurture and celebrate hair can directly impact our souls.” Beyoncé added: “I watched her heal and be of service to so many women. Having learned so much on my hair journey, I’ve always dreamed of carrying on her legacy.” She concluded: “I can’t wait for you to experience what I’ve been creating.”
Speaking to Essence for their March/April issue, the Halo singer shared her haircare regime ahead of Cécred’s launch. “It’s all about moisture for me – adding oil to my scalp and covering my hair at night so the oils could penetrate,” she said. “It brings back such great memories of my rituals as a child to maintain a healthy scalp,” she added, explaining her techniques are to “avoid friction, my hair reverting, and using unnecessary heat.”
Cécred is an eight-piece collection that includes a Clarifying Shampoo & Scalp Scrub, a Hydrating Shampoo, a Moisturizing Deep Conditioner, and a Reconstructing Treatment Mask. There is also a Moisture-Sealing Lotion, a Moisture-Sealing Oil, a Leave-In Conditioner, and a Scalp Serum.
