If you’ve ever wondered where Beyoncé and Solange get their style, confidence, and unwavering boss energy, look no further than Tina Knowles. Recently, with the launch of Cécred, Ms. Tina has graced our magazine spread in our March/April 2024 issue, reminding us of her elegance and fashion prowess. From designing Destiny’s Child costumes to founding House of Deréon, which is named after her mother, with Beyoncé in 2006, her influence is undeniable.

As she balances the responsibilities of a mother—nurturing two talented daughters into powerhouses, her style never wavers. Her personal style is consistently chic with tailored suits in a plethora of colors, elegant gowns with dazzling details, peplum tops, and matching sets. Whether it’s satin tops and blazer jackets with bedazzled heeled boots on MTV’s Total Request Live or glamorous gowns on the red carpet, her fashion choices are always on point.
