Beyoncé's Best Throwback Instagrams

by Jaclyn Anglis

It's 2015, and we all know Beyoncé is a force to be reckoned with in the entertainment industry. From the pop star's massive collection of Grammys to her ever-growing views for her music videos to her huge following on social media, it is clear this is a woman, who, to borrow a lyric from her song "Girls," runs the world. And thanks to the throwback photos Beyoncé posts on her Instagram page, her fan base knows very well that the singer's rightful place on the pop music throne could have been predetermined from an early age.

The "Drunk In Love" performer has never been shy about sharing snaps from her early days. On social media, the 34-year-old is more than happy to post old family pictures. For her OG fans before she went solo as an artist, she also has posted plenty of vintage Destiny's Child shots with her fabulous girl group partners in crime. She has also posted shots of herself with husband Jay Z from long before the hip-hop royalty pair officially got hitched. And she is not even above sharing a photo of herself when she had braces, which many non-famous folks would be terrified to post.

All these photos and more prove that Beyoncé was quite literally born to be the flawless star she is today. But don't take my word for it. Take a look through Beyoncé's best throwback photos and see for yourself.

1. Destiny's Child

Obviously, Beyoncé's version of reminiscing about the "good times" is quite different than the average Joe's or Jodine's. Here's a helpful reminder of that simple fact.

2. First Grammy

Just call this flashback foreshadowing. Bey now has 20 Grammy's, including the ones she won back when she was with Destiny's Child.

3. Ready For Her Close Up

Queen Bey got an early start in perfecting the diva pose. Clearly, it paid off.

4. 21st Birthday

Much like everyone else, the diva wanted to do it up for her big 2-1. Bet everyone else doesn't have this fabulous of a commemoration of the occasion, though.

5. Her Version Of 1989

Check out those awesome braids! Not to mention that sly grin. It's almost as if she knew that she was destined for greatness.

6. Mother's Day

She got it from her mama. And she is not afraid to show the love in return.

7. Slaying Braces

Back in 1988, Bey apparently endured what many poor kids have had to survive: braces. But since she is Beyoncé, she has the right to call them a grill.

8. Acing The School Picture

Even when she was just a kid, she was doing what other non-famous kids dreamed of doing: getting an ace shot for Picture Day.

9. Daddy's Little Girl

Even when she was just a tot, the Queen looks confident in her father's arms.

10. When Jay Z Was Her Boyfriend

Long before they got hitched, these two looked like a match made in both love and in style heaven back in 2003.

11. Slaying Teenage Years

Unlike many teenagers, puberty seemed to agree with her. That alone is a huge accomplishment!

12. A Few Very Talented 15-Year-Olds

Doing what very few 15-year-olds do.

13. Bow Down

Enough said, really.
