Beyoncé is a force of nature. Her iconic songs, viral dance moves and daring acts of defiance are always delivered in sensational style. In the words of fashion legend Thierry Mugler, she represents 'the duality between being a woman and a warrior'. Strutting and sashaying in Valentino leopard-print catsuits and her signature thigh-high boots, Queen B is more than just a glamour puss extraordinaire. She's a leader and an inspiration. Messages of self-empowerment and inner strength define her wardrobe as much as they electrify her songs. Her fashion connoisseurship has led to partnerships with numerous big names. Versace, Bottega, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Louis Vuitton are just a few of the brands saluted in her 2022
Renaissance album, and Anna Wintour even handed Bey creative control of the September 2018 issue of American
Vogue . Perfect for fans and fashionistas,
Beyoncé and the Clothes She Wears
charts her sartorial journey, from Destiny's Child to the present day, in glorious visual detail.
