Beyoncé’s presence on the red carpet is a rare sight, but during the early Aughts, the pop icon was a prominent figure at fashion week events.

Turning 38, Beyoncé was a familiar face at New York Fashion Week, often spotted in the front row of shows like Baby Phat, BCBG, Emporio Armani, and Badgley Mischka alongside then-boyfriend Jay-Z. Photographs of her mingling with designers became a common sight. Her most recent appearance at a fashion week event was in 2015, when she attended Kanye West’s Yeezy Season 1 show at New York Fashion Week, seated among the likes of Jay-Z, Kim Kardashian West, Anna Wintour, Hailey Bieber, and Russell Simmons.

Beyoncé’s involvement in fashion week extended beyond mere attendance. She also made appearances as a model, notably walking the runway alongside Naomi Campbell and Veronica Webb at the “Fashion for Relief” show benefiting Hurricane Katrina victims during the spring 2006 season of New York Fashion Week. Furthermore, in the spring of 2011, Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, launched their fashion brand, House of Deréon, debuting it at London Fashion Week. Despite Beyoncé’s star power, the brand closed down the following year. Beyoncé has since moved on to her latest venture in the fashion world, the activewear brand Ivy Park.
