Queen and Virgo supreme Beyoncé was a fashion icon well before she scored the CFDA’s seal of approval. Before those “Formation” witch hats, Bey wore embellished purses and denim capris. Before couture bodysuits, she donned sequin freakum dresses for performances. Before Ivy Park, she and Miss Tina helmed House of Deréon. God bless HoD.
Beyoncé’s casual wear and performance fashion has changed dramatically since her B’Day era 10 years ago, but the girl inside the clothes remains the same. We pulled some of Bey’s B’Day era looks that best exemplify 2006 style. Long live the babydoll top.
Check out Bey’s B’Day throwback looks here.
