11 Times Beyoncé Ruled The Onstage Hair Game
Beyoncé Heads to Coachella! Here’s Why It’s Good News for Your Hair Inline
This weekend, Beyoncé will headline Coachella. That means fans who found themselves heartbroken after the singer—then newly pregnant with twins—pulled out of the California-based festival last year, will finally get to witness her powerhouse vocals, show-stopping hair, and take-no-prisoners style firsthand. After all, if history has taught us anything, it's that Queen Bey doesn't disappoint.
Case in point: At the Tidal X: 1015 concert in 2015, the singer strode on stage with a single platinum plait that reached from the crown of her head to her hips—a sharp contrast from the look she'd sport during her "Drunk in Love" set at the 2014 Grammys, which called for a chin-length razored bob, which she wore finger raked and soaking wet. In still other moments, Beyoncé preferred her strands loose, windswept and billowing—see her heart-wrenching ballad during 2016's Formation World Tour, or at the Super Bowl halftime show, where it was teased into a gold tangle of curls that (literally) warranted its own wind machine.
No stranger to pin-straight lengths, she parted her glassy mane down the center for a surprise appearance at the CMAs; and a neat styling trick provided two looks at the MTV VMAs: a white wide-brim hat to keep strands tucked sleekly behind the ears, then removed to reveal a half-up knot that hovered over undone waves. But it's hard to top her now legendary headline- making performance at the 2017 Grammys, where the icon cemented her goddess status with a gilded headpiece worthy of the Madonna and a set of waist-grazing, larger-than-life curls to frame her newly revealed baby bump.
Above, eleven times Beyoncé's onstage beauty stole the show—all good reasons to head West come Friday.
