Beyoncé is not just the reigning queen of pop; she's a state of mind.
When you're channeling Bey, you're not just tapping into an ever-flowing stream of confidence—you've gained an unparalleled sense of style too.
OK, having a professional glam squad helps, but Beyoncé inspires a few styling tips that can help even the saddest wallflower find the ferocity within.
Because girls run this world together, E! Style Collective style pro Lindsay Albanese stopped by E! News to deconstruct Queen Bey's best looks.
Countdown Colors
"This specific Bey look works because it pairs tonal pieces together and sticks to a three-color max, which keeps the balance," said Lindsay. "The brilliant orange and pink, along with a blast of the contrasting blue in the bag, offers the same vibrancy without getting too complicated." For more neon tips, watch the video above!

Partition Those Fabrics
Whereas we might throw on a tee and sweats and make haste to the airport, Beyoncé does jet-set style like royalty. Ever the fan of monochrome, Bey keeps things simple yet sophisticated with single-tone staples. To keep things from getting too boring, she opts for accessories and add-ons in neutral shades. The key to monochrome, Lindsay advised, is to mix and match different textures and fabrics. For instance, if you have a schleppy top and form-fitting bottom, try a structured, boxy outer layer to create the illusion of lines.

Crazy in Love With Denim
The denim-on-denim trend has been hot in Hollywood all summer long, with the likes of the Kardashians, Kate Hudson and Rihanna sporting the look. But leave it to Beyoncé to make it her own—the singer opts for one-pieces or a top-and-skirt combo that shows just a sliver of skin in all the most flattering places. With a cinch-in waist and flared bottoms, head-to-toe denim is anything but boring.
