Beyoncé's Evolution

After more than two decades in the spotlight, Beyoncé has become much more than a pop icon. She’s a cultural force who has routinely defied expectations and transformed the way we understand the power of art to change how we see ourselves and each other. But at 40, she feels like she’s just scratched the surface.

Women born at the dawn of the 1980s were among the last generation to live an analog life and the first to see themselves reimagined in digital. Beyoncé’s childhood coincided with the rise of home-recording equipment—video cameras, stereo systems that let you record your own voice, keyboards that let you find whatever sound you wanted, personal computers to synthesize it all. The girls before her had mirrors and the echoes of the trees and magazines with cartoon approximations to reflect themselves. Her generation was the first to regularly experience the dizzying accuracy of playback. It could be a destabilizing force; there’s your voice as you think it sounds, and then your voice when it comes back to you, after you’ve hit Record.

Beyonce and her youngest daughter, Rumi hit up FAO Schwarz toy store for a day of shopping in the Big Apple. The “Crazy In Love” singer took her mini-me to the world famous shop, located in Manhattan, while the store was closing to the public. Bey wore a yellow midi dress with a blue cardigan and strappy green heels for the private shopping outing. Her daughter donned a white tank top, dark jeans, and white sneakers, as she pulled her braided her back into two pigtails and secured them with pink bows. The pair stayed for over an hour as they wandered around the store while their security guards kept a watchful eye.

UPDATE: The singer shared personal photos from the day.

Michelle Williams shared several never-before-heard recordings of her past "group chats" with Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland on Wednesday to celebrate the recent release of her new book Checking In, which documented her personal mental health journey.

True to the memoir's title, each audio clip featured Williams, 41, "checking in" on her bandmates as they discussed their lives.

"Look who checked in yesterday with me!! The only time we'll let y'all eavesdrop on our group chats!! 😂," Williams captioned one clip, in which the author told Beyoncé, 39, and Rowland, 40, that she "just wanted to check in and see what's going on."

"Oh, we love and miss you so much," Beyoncé replied in the recording. "We're so proud of you, Mimi! You are so inspirational for both of us — and we just love watching you become exactly who you are and the world see your impact, wisdom and beautiful advice."

"Amen!" Rowland added.
