Beyoncé’s 7 Favorite Hair Looks: Braids, Blonde, and More

On the September cover of Vogue, Beyoncé wears her long bob in a tangle of beachy wet waves. If that most stripped back of styles is unexpected, perhaps it shouldn’t be: The singer has made a name for herself as an imaginative beauty chameleon—executing seismic hair shifts in length, texture, color, and style on a seemingly daily basis. And yet a closer look at Beyoncé’s visual evolution during her decades in the spotlight reveals that hair, like history, occasionally repeats itself.

Since her meteoric rise to fame in the early aughts, the singer has captivated fans with the sudden appearance of bangs, an impromptu platinum dye job, a sleek curtain of waist-grazing lengths, or a painstaking set of micro braids. And while she’s always game for taking a risk, it’s clear that, even as a member of Destiny’s Child, Beyoncé has always known what works for her. Whether she’s headed to MTV’s TRL, the Met Gala, the Oscars, vacation, or simply strolling the streets of Manhattan, she relies on an arsenal of favorite looks. Beachy waves find their place poolside and on the red carpet; a high sporty ponytail downplays Givenchy couture; and, when in doubt, never question the effect of a bombshell-worthy blowout. Here, Beyoncé’s seven go-to looks—because a woman can always have more than one signature style.
