Beyonce Knowles: Style Evolution (PHOTOS, VIDEO)

There's no doubt that Beyonce, a.k.a. Mrs. Jay Z, is one of the most stylish musicians in the game. She constantly surprises with statement-making ensembles both on and off the red carpet, always managing to strike the perfect balance between bold glamour and timeless beauty.

She's appeared on countless magazine covers, modeled in Tom Ford's first women's collection runway show (see video below), and even dabbled in design when she and her mother started their House of Deréon line back in 2004. Not only is Beyonce the official queen of hip-hop, she's also become one of the music industry's chicest icons.

Today, on B's 30th birthday, we're looking back to see how far, in fashion, she's come — from the days of matching with her Destiny's Child crew, to her curve-hugging performance wear, to her stunning designer gowns. Take a look through our gallery to see the best of Beyonce through the years.

In the past, Beyonce's Clothing Designed by her Mother have been very unique and stylish. Recently a little too much is showing. Currently the Video with the Wedding (excuse me, I forgot the title of the song) has the typical wedding undergarments showing. I assume that the producer thought that it looked like a normal bathing suit. It does not, and a video that I would normally show my daughter can't be viewed by the family. If the producer needed "a before you put your Wedding Dress on" scene; a tasteful Feminine Slip would have been better. It's a great video other than that. But my children can not view it. You know that it is strange for the producer to portray "pornay" her like that because you must wear a slip with your wedding dress. Thank you

Unfortunatly, before this present time period Mummar Ghaddafi was a friend of the U.S. I don't know the details of his fall, He won't be in power anymore, yet I hope his country continues to remain soverign because that is a part of Africa and Africans have been used and abused all over the world. You really don't want other nationalities coming in and running your country too!!! They are not even thinking about paying the displaced Africans they owe! If you know the music business, everybody gets PAID, except the Artist. Managers who are supposed to get 10% end up getting 25% or 50%. Costs for Video Production, Lawyers, Accountants, Stylists, Make Up Artists etc. can be expensive! Just Ask the family "The Slyvers" When an
Artist performs Concerts, they have the ability to recoup some of their expenses. Thank you.

I always find it interesting when someone picks a multi millionare and points out their great taste in clothes. Like it was an accomplishment and had nothing to do with the fact that they are rich and can afford personal stylists, colorist, make up artists and trainers to look how they look. It is like saying "look at all the great food Louis XIV is eating" . Well yeah....No surprises there. I mean even that cat Lady who sang I had a Dream, Susan Boyle, looked decent and in fact attractive after she went through her make over. Come on people. Everyone can have style and look good with money. Well, in most cases. It certainly is a huge contributing factor.

lol....I was thinking that this girl really is vapid. She should send a cardboard cutout to the red carpet and dress that.

Some of the outfits are not bad, but I do not see any problems that the public should not be concern about. After all, our society is not wearing these outfits but only the artists are wearing them. It's outfits respresents their tastes, and not society's call.

I could love her for 20 mins.

Some outfits just should not be allowed.
