From vacation glam to global tours, the style icon shows no signs of slowing down.
A Vacation Look Worth Talking About
Tina Knowles is reminding everyone that fabulous has no expiration date. During a recent getaway to Martha’s Vineyard, Beyoncé’s 72-year-old mother stepped out for a luncheon with friends wearing a strapless denim corset top, tailored trousers and flat sandals. She topped the look off with a wide-brim straw hat, a bouncy blowout and a bold red lip, proving once again that she knows exactly how to make an entrance.
The businesswoman shared the moment on Instagram, and her followers wasted no time flooding the comments with praise. Fans gushed over her timeless glow, with several noting the family resemblance between Tina and her superstar daughter.

A Style Icon at Every Age
Fashion has always been part of Tina’s story, but she’s spent the last few years building on that legacy in bigger ways. In 2024, she and Beyoncé launched the haircare brand Cécred, an extension of the expertise she developed after running her Houston salon, Headliners, for nearly four decades. The following year, she added author to her résumé with the release of her memoir, Matriarch.
Writing Her Own Story in Matriarch
For years, Tina resisted the idea of writing a book, assuming readers only cared about her famous daughters rather than her own journey. Speaking with HELLO! at the 2026 Gracie Awards in Los Angeles, she reflected on how surprised she was by the warm reception Matriarch received, calling the experience one of the most rewarding of her career. Telling her story on her own terms, she explained, ended up resonating far more than she expected.

The Woman Behind Beyoncé’s Tours
While fans often see Tina cheering from the sidelines at Beyoncé and Solange’s shows, she’s far from just a spectator. As creative designer for Beyoncé‘s world tours, including the recent Cowboy Carter run, Tina has final say on every costume that hits the stage. During an appearance at the LA Times Festival of Books in April, she pushed back on the idea that she simply tags along with her daughters, making clear that no outfit is approved without her input.
Finally Taking the Credit She Deserves
Tina has also opened up about learning to accept recognition for her work, something that didn’t come naturally at first. She admitted that operating quietly behind the scenes felt comfortable for years, but something shifted once she reached her 70s. Raised to stay humble, she said her daughters often encouraged her to simply accept compliments instead of deflecting them, and she’s come to understand that humility and acknowledgment aren’t mutually exclusive.
That same spirit shows up in how she talks about her family. Beyond her own accomplishments, Tina remains one of the loudest supporters of her daughters’ success, and she’s already turning her attention to the next generation. Her granddaughter, Blue Ivy, now 14, has been carving out her own spotlight, most recently drawing attention for a standout piano moment during a milestone concert celebration.
From beach vacations to world tours, Tina Knowles continues to show that style, substance and self-assurance only get stronger with time.
