Beyoncé Puts a Fresh Twist on Her Signature Braid
Beyoncé is the undisputed queen of the long braid. The superstar has taken the pulled-back style to great lengths over the years, doing everything from a high-pony take to a half-up style with baby braids incorporated into it. She even braided her own hair for her Vogue September issue cover shoot. And while the singer has clearly developed a signature hairstyle, she never fails to keep it fresh; this week, she debuted yet another update on her favorite extra-long braid, this time putting a twist on it that was all about the baby hairs.
Attending a gala for the opening of Tyler Perry Studios (though she did not walk the red carpet for the event), Beyoncé put an evening stamp on the braid by giving it decided control: she slicked back the top of the hair into a sleek middle part. At the edges, she set her baby hairs into place with artful waves at each side. Her braid then extended well below the lower back—because more is always more with Bey. Set against her sparkling yellow gown, the style made for a distinctive going-out look that was a departure from an expected pony or updo. It was a fitting choice considering this is Beyoncé, after all—she’s a megawatt star who rarely plays by the rules.
