Diana Ross’s Epic 75th Birthday Party Included a Beyonce Serenade

From Oprah Magazine

If anyone knows how to make an entrance to a birthday party, it's Diana Ross.

On Tuesday night, the legendary actress and Motown singer arrived to the Warwick nightclub in Los Angeles for her 75th birthday celebration. Joined by some of her closest Hollywood friends and family to celebrate the milestone occasion, "The Boss" was treated to a very special birthday serenade from one of her biggest fans: Beyoncé.

The 37-year-old "Crazy in Love" singer honored Ross by singing happy birthday in front of A-list attendees and music royalty. Thankfully, one of the evening's celebrity guests, Khloe Kardashian, recorded the moment on Instagram stories for the fans whose invitations somehow got lost in the mail.

In the video below, you can see Ross's daughter, Black-ish actress, Tracee Ellis Ross, eyeing the crowd of famous faces to get someone to sing "Happy Birthday" to her mom.

"Wait, Beyoncé, are you still here?" Ross asks. "Do you want to sing 'Happy Birthday?'"

Accepting Ross's request, the Lemonade singer strolled past the birthday girl's sparkling tiered cake that included photos of herself (because, naturally, Ross would have a birthday cake to match her sparkling personality and presence) and took the mic.

Rocking her signature braided ponytail and what appeared to be a waist-length black blazer with sheer, fishnet sleeves, Beyoncé belted out the familiar celebratory ode with a few vocal twists for her idol, who she addressed as "Miss Ross." Of course, it didn't take long the iconic moment of one queen singing to another went viral.

Other guests invited to the epic birthday bash included Ross's son, Evan Ross, and her daughter-in-law Ashlee Simpson, Berry Gordy, Diddy, Bette Midler, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Debbie Allen, Tina Knowles-Lawson, Angela Bassett, Jesse Williams, Gabrielle Union, Heidi Klum, Kris Jenner, Kardashian, and Bebe Rexha. O's own editor at large Gayle King also stole the show, wearing the same red and gold sequin dress from the 2018 "Favorite Things" cover.

Beyoncé wasn't the only notable celebrity who paid homage to Ross on March 26. Earlier Tuesday evening, Ross performed a live tribute Hollywood PDiddy united

Beyoncé's admiration for Ross goes back to her days as a child dreaming of performing and singing.

Her father and former manager Mathew Knowles would have Beyoncé and her fellow group members watch old Motown performances when they weren't rehearsing, according to a 2004 interview he did with Texas Monthly.

And decades later on Ross's birthday, no less, Queen Bey got to show the Queen of Motown her appreciation in her own special way.
