If fashion is the lifeblood of the music industry, then Beyonce is at the heart of it.
It’s a tool for finding your own identity, expression, and strength.
It transcends style and is a time capsule of all of our greatest milestones."

It may sometimes come as a mixed bag but to err is only human.
Here’s a roster of the best and worst outfits worn by Beyonce.
As music royalty, Beyonce is exempt from these mortal considerations.

“It was a fun way to celebrate the moment for her.”
We’re crazy in love with this look.
Can we also talk about the hair while we’re here?

But really, what is the Met if not an annual costume parade?
Yup, that barely-there purple number with a plunging neckline and a pleated miniskirt.
And who better than the next-gen queen of Hollywood to do the honors?

One in particular caught the eye of viewers not least because it was hard to miss really.
We just wish there was more of Queen Bey than drama to the dress.
That wasn’t the only reason Beyonce’s pink gown failed to impress.

The crimped, cutout-laden organza number came from the house of pioneering Vietnamese designer Nguyen Cong Tri.
Or should we say, fashionably late?
The cultural metaphors they used, not so much.

Significant criticism was reserved for Beyonce, who seemed to be wearing more a disguise than a real outfit.
It’s not as if Queen Bey has zero experience with Indian wear.
(Or should we say leather had a major moment, thanks to Beyonce?)

That said, Beyonce’s now-iconic dress was definitely a moment for latex clothing in its most unique forms.
And, as often happens in stories that become legend, it all came together by sheer chance.
But there was a bit of an unseen hitch.

Klinko had an easy fix: denim.
The only jeans at hand were Klinko’s own pair but Beyonce didn’t mind.
Who better suited than Queen Bey to shoulder that heavy legacy?

Beyonce’s handsy bodysuit sure managed to entice a reaction as well.
Best: But of course, her famous golden bodysuit
Beyonce in a golden bodysuit.
It’s inarguably one of the most famous images to ever exist of the music icon.

The figure-hugging piece teamed with statement studs and a free-flowing golden mane was the creation of Thierry Mugler.
Everything was a mismatch from the fur-lined pink corset to the mermaid-cut satin skirt.
Oh, and did we mention it was all crease-town in the back?

(Special shoutout for Bey’s unforgettable Y2K bangs, though.)
We’re not exaggerating; this actually happened.
A pair of fringed holographic boots added a touch of Queen Bey’s signature drama to the basic ensemble.

Worst: A giant brooch parading as a dress
Is it a brooch?
Is it a Christmas ornament?
No, it’s Beyonce in a dress.

A pair of black opera gloves accented the look.
Honestly, we love to see Beyonce’s experiments in fashion.
Her fans were left confused as well.
