This weekend, Beyoncé will headline Coachella. That means fans who found themselves heartbroken after the singer—then newly pregnant with twins—pulled out of the California-based festival last year, will finally get to witness her powerhouse vocals, show-stopping hair, and take-no-prisoners style firsthand. After all, if history has taught us anything, it s that Queen Bey doesn t disappoint.
Case in point: At the Tidal X: 1015 concert in 2015, the singer strode on stage with a single platinum plait that reached from the crown of her head to her hips—a sharp contrast from the look she d sport during her "Drunk in Love" set at the 2014 Grammys, which called for a chin-length razored bob, which she wore finger raked and soaking wet. In still other moments, Beyoncé preferred her strands loose, windswept and billowing—see her heart-wrenching ballad during 2016 s Formation World Tour, or at the Super Bowl halftime show, where it was teased into a gold tangle of curls that (literally) warranted its own wind machine.
No stranger to pin-straight lengths, she parted her glassy mane down the center for a surprise appearance at the CMAs; and a neat styling trick provided two looks at the MTV VMAs: a white wide-brim hat to keep strands tucked sleekly behind the ears, then removed to reveal a half-up knot that hovered over undone waves. But it s hard to top her now legendary headline- making performance at the 2017 Grammys, where the icon cemented her goddess status with a gilded headpiece worthy of the Madonna and a set of waist-grazing, larger-than-life curls to frame her newly revealed baby bump.
Above, eleven times Beyoncé s onstage beauty stole the show—all good reasons to head West come Friday.
