Beyoncé is the kind of celebrity who keeps a low profile most of the time, but every now and then, she'll pop on her site and share a generous, intimate look at her life with her fans. Last night, she did just that, uploading a year's worth of outfit photos on her site—her gift on her birthday to all of us. There's shots of her, Jay Z, and her oldest daughter Blue Ivy Carter. There are many, many designer outfits. Miu Miu is featured! Dolce & Gabbana! It's truly a lot to take in.
Bey started her photo spam with an honest reflection on her last year:
At 36, I became a new mother of 3. I breastfed twins. I renewed my vows with my husband of 10 years. I came back home to the stage of Coachella, after pregnancy. Then my husband and I released our album together, Everything Is Love. And we’ve been touring with our family around the world and loving it. This year has been monumental for me. I thank God for everyone in my life. Thank you for all the positivity and for the beautiful birthday wishes. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn from my past, living in the present, and surrendering to the future. I love you, Hive. B.
From there, she posted outfit after outfit shot, including a couple photos of her 37th birthday celebration in Italy. Here, a compilation of some of the best looks. They're all spectacular though, so see every one in its full glory on her site here.
