9 Times Beyoncé's Beauty Look Shut Down the Grammys

9 Times Beyoncé's Beauty Look Shut Down the Grammys

For nearly two decades, Beyoncé has been an indomitable force at the Grammy Awards. From commanding the red carpet with her chameleonic beauty to her mic-drop moments onstage, the 20-time golden gramophone winner has left her mark on every ceremony she's attended. And with Queen Bey up for Best/Rap Collaboration for "Family Feud" alongside husband Jay Z, who leads the nominees with eight nods, 2018 is bound to be no different. So what better time to revisit the megastar's most unforgettable looks?

Though very much in sync with her Destiny's Child bandmates as she made her Grammys debut in 2000, Bey was a standout from the start with her fresh glow and cascade of honey-streaked waves. But it's when she struck out as a solo artist that she really came into her own. During her 2007 performance of "Listen," the stunning ballad she sang in her film Dreamgirls, she looked every bit the screen siren with taupe smoky eyes and an ivory floral hair ornament affixed in her long, glossy waves. In 2008, she went blonde and chopped a few inches off her signature mane for a cool, shoulder-grazing length that showed of her décolleté and sculpted arms to powerful effect. And in 2014, Bey really made jaws drop when she, with her drenched curly chop and rock solid post-baby figure, and Jay Z opened the show performing their smash single "Drunk in Love."

However, because she is Beyoncé, she managed to outdo herself yet again at last year's show, where she performed two songs from her groundbreaking album Lemonade while channelling various ancient goddesses, from Africa's Mami Wata to Rome's Venus, with a glowing pregnant physique, hip-grazing spirals, and a House of Malakai-designed golden headpiece. Needless to say, the world is waiting with bated breath to see what Beyoncé has in store for tomorrow.
