Beyoncé Knowles: My Style Timeline

The Dreamgirls star proves that looking good really is the best revenge, in long, honey-hued extensions and rich chocolate shadow that plays up her almond eyes at the film’s Paris premiere – just days after a disappointing loss at the Golden Globes.

Lush ringlets and a pink make-up palette lend her a fresh-faced girl-next-door look while promoting her long-awaited album B-Day on CBS’s Early Show.

The 26-year-old looks every bit the jet-setter in sleek, waist-length locks and blunt bangs as she arrives at Melbourne Airport to kick-off an Australian tour – and her busy schedule is clearly on her mind. In an interview published soon after, she reveals that her life’s too hectic for kids and marriage right now, but that they’re all a part of a 10-year plan.

The spokesmodel is a picture of elegance while promoting her role as the new face of Emporio Armani’s fragrance Diamonds, in long cascading waves and teal shadow subtly matched to her Armani gown.

Fully recovered from a tumble during a concert a couple of weeks earlier, the soul singer brings a touch of old Hollywood glamour to Seoul Korea, with bright ruby lips and a deeper, auburn shade of hair.
