Beyonce's Always Slayed The Billboard Music Awards

by Jessica Willingham

Queen B. has been slaying in 2016, and she definitely isn't slowing down anytime soon. While her chart-topping album, Lemonade, is all over the music billboards, she unfortunately won't be stopping by the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday night. However, that shouldn't stop us from reviewing all of Beyonce's Billboard Music Awards looks through the years — especially because it just proves how far her fashion has come and how hard she has always slayed.

It's easy to see that Beyonce is evolving in all aspects of her life. From her music to her performances, to, of course, her fashion, "Slayonce" isn't afraid of changing it up. We saw Southern-Gothic-meets-Antebellum high fashion in her visual album Lemonade , fierce body suits at the Super Bowl, and luxe latex for this year's Met Gala. If anything, we've learned to expect the unexpected.

While you cross your fingers and toes hoping that Beyonce has an unexpected appearance at this Sunday's awards show, take a trip down memory lane and ooh and ahh at all of Queen Bey's Billboard Music Awards looks through the years. You'll quickly come to the conclusion that she's never boring when it comes to her outfits, and it'll make you love her even more.

I love this smoky, sexy brown eye with a natural lip. With such a complex outfit, she doesn't need wild makeup. This is the stage-ready Beyonce we know and love.

Bey looks bangin' in bangs for her onstage performance. We rarely see her in bangs, but I would love for her to bring them back for this year.

Fresh and sleek are signature themes in Beyonce's fashion and makeup. Her hair pulled back shows off her sparkling jewels and bombshell makeup.

This look is giving me middle school flashbacks. She looks so young! Even here, you can see pieces of her signature aesthetic with a slicked-back pony tail, honey blonde highlights, smoky eyes, and a nude lip.
