Queen B lived up to her title as she reigned over the MTV VMAs red carpet with heir apparent Blue Ivy by her side.
Beyonce wore a floor-length beaded nude dress, topped off with a fierce feathered ruff/angel wings and diamond-dripping earrings, designed by Francesco Scognamiglio.
Cementing her princess status, Blue was spotted with an actual tiara on her head and a glorious cascading rose gold tutu skirt.
But Beyonce made a statement with more just her choice of dress as she promoted the Black Lives Matters movement.
She was joined by the mothers of some of the young black men who had been victims of gun violence and police brutality, including Sybrina Fulton, the mother of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.
Model Winnie Harlow and Beyonce’s proteges, pop star sisters Chloe and Halle, also stood beside her as she posed with the cast from her visual album Lemonade.
The Formation singer will be performing at the ceremony.
