Beyoncé paid tribute to her mother, Tina Knowles, in style at Glamour’s Women of the Year Awards—and in doing so, evoked the spirit of a Hollywood icon. The superstar turned heads with a platinum blonde bob reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe’s signature look.
Known for experimenting with various shades of blonde throughout her career, Beyoncé has recently embraced a brighter platinum tone, seen prominently on the cover of her Cowboy Carter album and at promotional events. For this special occasion, she swapped her usual long locks for a voluminous, vintage-inspired bob.
Styled with a deep side part and soft, brushed-out curls at the ends, the bob echoed Monroe’s glamorous 1950s-era hairstyles. Beyoncé completed the look with a pale pink blush and lip, shimmery eyeshadow, and full lashes. She wore a yellow pencil skirt set by Sergio Hudson, which complemented her icy platinum hair.
Beyoncé was joined at the event by longtime friend and Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland, who wore ombré curls, and her mother Tina Knowles, who stayed true to her classic red lipstick.
This isn’t the first time Beyoncé has leaned into Old Hollywood glam. In late September, she wore a similar bob to a SirDavis whiskey event, paired with a sparkly halter gown. She also featured the style in promo photos for the brand, styling it with exaggerated volume and a country flair—including a cowboy hat.
As Beyoncé continues to reinvent classic styles with modern flair, her platinum bob proves that timeless glamour never goes out of fashion.
