BeyoncĂ© has come a long way since her days as the lead singer of Destiny’s Child. The 16-time Grammy award-winning songstress has produced four solo studio albums, she’s successfully crossed over into film (Dreamgirls), and has continued to tour and remain one of the most relevant, popular, and hard-working female performers in show business.

To top off her nearly flawless career, Bey just celebrated her 4th wedding anniversary to rap legend and business mogul, Jay-Z, after giving birth to their daughter Blue Ivy Carter.

In her interview with People magazine this month, she attributed her title as Most Beautiful Woman in the World to motherhood, saying, “I feel more beautiful than I’ve ever felt because I’ve given birth. I have never felt so connected, never felt like I had such a purpose on this earth.”

To commemorate this honor, and to celebrate her fierce style and beauty, theGrio presents some of BeyoncĂ©’s most beautiful moments.
