Black Celebrities Came Out With Their Family And BFFs To Celebrate Beyoncé At Her Renaissance Birthday Show

By Dominique Fluker · Updated September 5, 2023

Beyonce Giselle Knowles-Carter is a celebrity to the stars. If you don’t believe us, ask her celebrity friends who were in attendance to celebrate the ultimate Virgo on Monday evening. Around 60,000 BeyHive members, including notable celebrity guests, were ushered into Inglewood’s SoFi stadium in meticulously crafted chrome outfits to wish the performer a happy 42nd birthday. Everyone from Meghan Markle to Diana Ross was ready to party at Club Renaissance. 

Ross, a legend in her own right, took the time to lead thousands of Knowles-Carter’s fans in singing “Happy Birthday.” Although that particular moment was legendary, the artist had several others throughout the show. Another notable one was her taking a moment of gratitude to thank her loyal and consistent fans during a birthday speech after stepping on the stage at exactly 9:04 p.m., like the Virgo diva she is, “My soul is full. I’m so thankful, I’m trying not to cry,” Beyoncé told the audience in a speech, pausing to push back tears. “I’m thankful to be alive. I’m thankful to be on stage. I’m thankful to look out and see your faces. I’m thankful to be able to provide a safe space for all of y’all. I’m thankful for music, for the ability to heal myself through music, which then heals all of you,” she said.

While the tour served as the ultimate birthday party for the artist, it also acted as a homecoming reunion for dozens of celebrities in Los Angeles. Throughout Instagram, you can see the stars eagerly preparing for the night’s festivities, from Yung Miami posting on her Instagram Story about the need to ace the “Mute Challenge” to Brandy making a rare appearance. The stars gladly came out to support the Queen and enjoyed doing so. See how the Black celebs supported the birthday girl on her actual birthday show and the ones leading up to it.
