The Look of Beyonce

Just call her Mrs. Jay-Z! Beyoncé Knowles, 26, and her hip-hop mogul boyfriend of more than six years, Jay-Z, 38, tied the knot this weekend! The secretive duo kept things intimate but lavish for their April 4th 'I dos' - a ceremony with just close friends and family followed by an extravagant party at Jay-Z's NYC loft. So we thought what better time to take a look back at some of Beyoncé best red carpet looks.

While her sequin and tulle, ice-princess Elie Saab gown and shorter 'do got mixed reviews at the 2008 Grammys, her energetic performance with Tina Turner got nothing but raves.

Wear only one designer dress a night? Not Beyoncé! The singer changed into a canary yellow gown to party at the Beverly Hills Hotel after her Grammy performance. Beyoncé has always had a passion for fashion. Her mother Tina, who was the costume designer for 'Destiny's Child' and Beyoncé teamed up to create their sexy House of Deréon fashion line back in 2005. "It's a little vintage and a little couture," says Beyoncé. Not to be outdone Jay-Z has his own street wear line Rocawear.

While there's no word yet on who designed Beyoncé's wedding gown, we're guessing that she either opted for Giorgio Armani's Couture line Armani Privé, Beyoncé's pick for her performances like this sparkly mini dress, or Elie Saab who she chooses when wanting to make a statement on the red carpet.
