    Facebook share Twitter share

    Whether it's a new hair do or an outlandish new outfit, Queen Bey never fails to look on-trend. But would you dare wear it? Here's 25 trends on Beyoncé can pull off...

    1. Beyonce Tumblr

      1. The stripe-on-stripe look.

      People usually tend to stay clear of horizontal stripes, but Beyoncé doesn't just do the unusual, she goes all-out, wearing monochrome horizontal stripes from head to toe in this crop-top midi-skirt combination. Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    2. Beyonce Tumblr

      2. The 'clashing prints' look.

      This is a look that most people wouldn't even consider trying, but you don't even think twice about it when you see Beyoncé modelling the look. How many people can wear a shirt and jacket with such obviously clashing prints and not get a funny look in the street? Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    3. Beyonce

      3. Has Beyoncé got crimped hair?!

      Before you suggest it, no - this picture wasn't taken in 90's when crimped hair was cool. It was taken in 2008 when the days of crimping were long gone. And yet, Beyoncé went there, and pulled it off! Picture: PA

    4. Beyonce Tumblr

      4. The 'Topshop' leapord print tee with a chunky gold chain.

      If you read it on paper it would scream 'tacky,' but Beyoncé shows how to wear an on trend chunky gold chain and leopard print t-shirt (which is from Topshop - who says you need a big budget?) without looking all 'Kat Slater.' Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    5. Beyonce

      5. The full fringe.

      Beyoncé's usually got big waves or an outlandish hair-do', it isn't often she goes for sleek and straight. On this occasion she wore pulled off a heavy full fringe with no second thought. Picture: PA

    6. Beyonce Tumblr

      6. The panelled work suit.

      Beyoncé goes for the boho look more often than the tailored one, but when she is in the mood for the latter, Bey puts her own spin on it by adding black panels and a matching leather collar.

    7. Beyonce Tumblr

      7. Is Beyoncé wearing tartan on tartan?

      A green tartan shirt under a red tartan jacket? Topped up with leather sleeves, red lippy and a hat with pom poms on? It sounds like a disaster. Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    8. Beyonce Tumblr

      8. Teaming a 'granny' sweater with loud palazzo trousers.

      Beyoncé's always done bright colours well and she's not afraid to mix them up, wearing hot pink trousers with a stripery jumper and a statement handbag. Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    9. beyonce and big hair

      9. The afro hair do'.

      Beyoncé has rocked the afro hair-do many times since her 'Work It Out' days (remember the video for the Austin Powers film?) Whether it's teamed with a gold crop-top or jeans and tee Beyoncé looks fresh-faced.

    10. Beyonce Tumblr

      10. The printed blazer and printed trousers combo.

      The ordinates look is very much on point this summer, but Beyoncé was doing it ages ago. Bey doesn't hang back, wearing a loud print and choosing trousers and a blazer - would you dare to pull this off? Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    11. 11. The thick-rimmed 'Tinie Tempah' style shades.

      When she was backing Obama's prisdential campaign Beyoncé uploaded this promotional picture where she was seen for the first time in glasses - and not just any glasses - thick black rimmed 'Tinie Tempah' style glasses. Picture: beyonce.com

    12. Beyonce Tumblr

      12. The see-through sparkly number.

      Before Rihanna wore the 'nude dress' Beyonce was snapped in her own all-black number with see-through cut-outs. How she manages to wear an almost invisible dress and still look classy? We can't explain! Picture: Iam.Beyonce.com

    13. Beyonce Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute Bene

      13. The dare-to-be-different red carpet dress.

      When Beyoncé went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute gala benefit last year she went for a very unusual red-carpet number - a mermaid-style floor-length gown with gold embroidery.

    14. Beyonce wearing leather

      14. The 'black-on-black-on-black-on-black' look.

      It looks like even Beyoncé Knowles sometimes just wants to chuck on a casual black outfit and keep it low-key. It's a rare occasion when it happen, but of course, still a trendy one. Bey rocks trainers and baggy leather trousers with a tailoreed blazer to keep herself looking cool. Picture: beyonce.cpm

    15. Beyonce shares intimate photos

      15. The bum-length braids.

      It's a haristyle Beyonce's gone back to time and time again, first having it done as a young girl and again in recent weeks, which can be seen on pictures she shared on Instagram. We can only imagine the amount of time it took to get them looking like that. Picture: Beyonce.com

    16. 16. The 'smart and sophisticated' look.

      For many of her appearances during Obama's campaign, and at more professional events, Beyoncé has to work the sophistacted look, and like expected she does it perfectly. In this photo Beyonce goes for slicked-back hair with a low-sleeve low-cut cream dress. Picture: iam.beyonce.com

    17. Beyonce

      17. The natural, no make-up, look.

      Although she's more commonly seen glammed up on tour or at red carpet events, Beyoncé isn't constantly hiding behind her make-up. The 'Pretty Hurts' singer is often seen make-up free - and doesn't she look gorgeous? Picture: Beyonce.Tumblr.com

    18. Beyonce Chime for Change Anniversary

      18. The plunging-neckline all-white jumpsuit.

      In her most recent outing Beyoncé celebrated the one year anniversary for her Chime For Change concert in London, wearing an all-white jumpsuit with a plunging neckline and keeping things simple with barely-there black heels. Picture: iam.beyonce.com

    19. Beyonce perfomrs in Altantic City

      19. The sparkling corset.

      Beyonce's tour outfits are some of the most creative and daring in the industry, with her mother Tina Knowles often designing thm. This particular skin-colour corset is one of Beyoncé's stand out costumes from her 'I Am...' tour. Picture: www.iam.beyonce.com/

    20. beyonce

      20. The 'completely covered up' look.

      It doesn't matter if she's wearing a bikini on the beach, a corset on tour or is covered-up from head to toe, Beyoncé manages to make it look sexy. This stripped-down look, with hair sleeked back and a floor-length, long-sleeve, polo-neck dress is the perfect example.

    21. Beyonce at the 2013 Grammy Awards

      21. The 'Monochrome' look.

      Beyoncé broke all the rules at the 2013 Grammy Awards opting for trousers over a skirt with the monochrome jumpsuit. Queen Bey added a splash of colour with some bright red nails - and have you seen the matching cuffs on both wrists? She'll take two please!

    22. Beyonce backstage at the Grammy Awards

      22. Beyonce's white-lace see-through 2014 Grammy's dress.

      Beyoncé revisited a look she had pulled off once before when she went for a see-through dress, with her body covered in a pretty white lace print. This was also the year Bey showed off her new cropped cut. Picture: PA

    23. Beyonce

      23. The bowler hat.

      At the 2011 US open Beyonce was spotted watching the tennis with Jay Z, wearing a black bowler hat on her blonde waves. We're sure it comes as no surprise to you that Beyoncé's a hat-person. Picture: PA

    24. Beyonce

      24. The 'suit and tie' look.

      Maybe Jay Z was taking a leaf out of his husbands book when he got together with Justin Timberlake for 2013 single 'Suit and Tie,' because Beyonce was seen in a shirt-waistcoat and bow tie all the way back in 2011. Picture: PA

    25. Beyonce

      25. The bright yellow crochet dress.

      During a 2011 TV performance Beyonce left her sparkles behind and flaunted a bright yellow, crochet dress with cut-outs going all the down the centre. A great summer outfit! Picture: PA
