It’s September 4th, or better yet, it’s Beyonce’s birthday, officially dubbed Bey Day. A star, icon and a Queen, Beyonce Giselle Knowles was born 37 years ago today and she's graced the world with her presence ever since by way of music and fashion. Her biggest fan (her mother Tina Knowles) shared a throwback image of Bey at just four months old calling her "the most beautiful, generous [and] loving" soul.
"Always thinking, planning, analyzing, strategizing, how you can make everything you touch better!," she said of her daughter.
Beyonce’s recent September issue of Vogue is not only fierce because of her looks but she talks some real empowerment in this issue. From body acceptance, pregnancy, opening doors to freedom and her legacy. "I want to learn more, teach more, and live in full. I’ve worked long and hard to be able to get to a place where I can choose to surround myself with what fulfills and inspires me," she wrote.
So in light of Beyonce's impact on the culture and her ever-inspiring looks, check out some of her fiercest, most Beyonce moments.
Coachella 2018
One of the most iconic Coachella performances ever. Not only was Beyonce the first black woman to headline Coachella, she did it thoroughly fierce. She shared this moment with those of us sitting at home, showing her tribute to HBCU’s and Greek Life. "It was a celebration of all the people who sacrificed more than we could ever imagine, who moved the world forward so that it could welcome a woman of color to headline such a festival," Bey said of her performance.

Super Bowl
Let’s take it back to the 2016 Super Bowl because we can never forget. Bey was the centre of controversy after her halftime performance paid tribute to the Black Panther Party by Bey and her dancers. It was overwhelming, to say the least, but this look? Is one of our favourites and it makes a bold statement.

Throwback Bey
As the saying goes, Beyonce wasn't built in a day, but these throwback photos make us question if that's really true since Beyonce was seemingly always glowing. From her Brown Sugar bellybutton piercing days to her Roman Empire crew link up with Pink and Brittney Spears, the slay was always real.
We finish our list off with video proof that fierceness doesn't just come in picture form.
