Beyonce Celebrates Her B-day By Taking Us Back to the Beginning of Her Career
The revolutionary singer has just celebrated her 40th birthday this Saturday, a touchstone moment she honours by re-exploring her dense and lengthy career through a fresco made available online through her website
Although she belongs to no royal family other than her very own, Queen Beyonce just celebrated another trip around the sun this September 4th – another occasion to remember who’s been running the world since her debut back in 1997.
The multi-Grammy award-winning singer, songwriter and producer can definitely be labelled as an inspirational legendary icon no matter how familiar you are with her work up until now. Relentlessly pushing the boundaries of culture ever so forward for the past two decades, the Texas-born performer is known for having continuously impacted the industry by opening and paving the way for coloured women whilst also fiercely fighting against the institutionalised biases and racism visible within her respective field of work.
To celebrate and kick off her 40th birthday, Beyoncé took us on a trip down memory lane through her eponymous website by sharing a timeline retro collage of her achievements to honour this new milestone. Gaping a hole in our hearts for some much-needed B-day Bee content, fans online, which border on a cult following, were invited to an introspective cruise through the artist’s major benchmarks in life and within the industry itself. Sharing never-seen-before pictures with the overly-acclaimed Destiny’s child trio, her innocent first solo steps on stage to later more mature moments in life through the candid acceptance of her first international awards or the birth of her children with rapper and businessman Jay-Z, the American pop star revealed nostalgic and eye-catching interactive footage which are only very reminiscent and reminding of the unattainable level of professionalism and talent she has gracefully mirrored through time.
While little to no details have transpired as to how Beyoncé celebrated with friends and family over the weekend, BAZAAR.com decided to pay tribute to the singer by compiling sweet wishes and heart-warming acknowledgements from fellow celebrities in a 4-minute long accolade.
From Bazaar Arabia to the legend born 40-years-ago today, we wish you, Queen B, another 40 years of success, glory, and happiness.
