The arrival of Homecoming on Netflix serves to remind us (as if we’d forgotten?) that Beyoncé is an unstoppable super-star. She’s been in the music industry since the 1990s when she, alongside Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, performed as Destiny’s Child. There has been many a singer who has tried to go solo and failed, but Beyoncé isn’t one of them. Since Destiny’s Child split in the early 2000s, Bee has gone from strength to strength, polishing her image and staying relevant – a huge feat in the entertainment business where people always want the next best thing. In this stunning portrait, Beyoncé and her husband, famed rapper Jay Z, recently paid tribute to the Duchess of Sussex Meghan and pregnancy and now that Game of Thrones has concluded, actress Emilia Clarke is worried Beyoncé will hate her due to her character’s sudden change of disposition!
Video: The trailer for Homecoming, Beyoncé’s Netflix film
Beyoncé is every inch a sophisticated lady and she doesn’t post anything that could be considered too raunchy or NSWFW on her Instagram. She wasn’t one of the unfortunate celebrities that had private pictures leaked during The Fappening, she hasn’t had a sex tape scandal and to date there is no shocking red carpet wardrobe malfunction to speak off. But Bee is still hot as hell, so we’ve collected some of her best nude and nearly naked shots so you can admire her greatness (and to remind you to keep doing your squats!)
9. Too Bootylicious
Pictured: Beyoncé nude on a trip to the beach
This is one of the intimate photos published in Beyoncé and Jay Z’s On The Run Tour II book, which fans could purchase during the couple’s world tour. It depicts the singer stripping off before skinny dipping, showing off a very healthy tan line and her enviable booty. As usual, there were a few trolls who came out from under their bridges to say that this is no way for a mother to behave. Ignoring this (because being being a mum doesn’t preclude your sexuality) Beyoncé’s fan base adored the photos, relishing a chance to take a peek into the couple’s private life.
8. Mrs. Carter

This shot is also from the On The Run Tour II book. The original On The Run Tour took place in 2014, and the concept was the ‘criminal couple on the lam’ feel that the pair had established in their songs 03 Bonnie and Clyde and Part II (On The Run). Tickets sold out in minutes and extra shows were added due to sheer demand. This lead to the On The Run Tour II in 2018, which ended up being the 3rd highest grossing tour of the year.
7. In Bed With Jay Z and Bee

Last one from On The Run Tour II, we promise! The Carters enjoy a leisurely crossword in bed. “Sexy” is four-letter word for tantalising right?
6. Nude, But Make It Fashion

Ok, not the kind of leaked nudes that you were expecting, but still great nudes all the same. The theme of the 2016 Met Gala was ‘Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.’ Beyoncé’s look was certainly futuristic and it was well received by fashion critics and fans alike.
5. A Real Life Barbie
Pictured: Beyoncé at the 2015 Met Gala in a revealing Givenchy gown.
Another jaw-dropping Met Gala look, but this time Beyoncé was serving nude looks of a different variety. The strategically placed jewels were all that prevented the star from being topless, and she teamed this with an elegant high pony tail. It was another fashion hit for the Formation singer, with fans saying she looked like a high class Barbie doll.
4. The Drunk In Love Music Video
Video: The steamy music video for Beyoncé and Jay Z’s Drunk In Love.
One of Beyoncé’s sexiest music videos ever, hands down. In just a black bikini and a sheer robe, Beyoncé danced and posed on the beach in this black-and-white video, showing off her amazing body as she did so. The music video won Best Collaboration and was nominated for Video of The Year at the 2014 MTV Music Video Awards
3. “Driver, Roll Up The Partition Please”

Partition was another music video that really sizzled – we saw Bee in various states of undress, and her choreography on the chaise lounge is utterly iconic.
2. Eating For Three!
Pictured: Beyoncé’s now famous pregnancy announcement
She can wear designer outfits like its nobody’s business, and she can equally rock a mis-matched bra and pants set like its the most natural thing in the world. Looking like a religious icon, Beyoncé took to Instagram to confirm that she was pregnant with twins and her fans could not have been more elated. It became the most liked picture on Instagram until Rumi and Sir Carter were born on the 13 June 2017, when Beyonce’s first public picture with her new babies became the new most liked shot.
1. The Birth of Beyoncé

Another pregnancy picture of Beyoncé as she prepared for the birth of her twins. We can’t help but compare her to the famous Botticelli artwork ‘The Birth of Venus’ – look at all that long hair!
