Beyoncé’s Hairstyles and Makeup Through the Years
The last rays of afternoon sun are streaming through the window of a Manhattan loft where Beyoncé Knowles sits resplendent in a sleeveless sapphire blue dress and stilettos sharper than ice picks. Despite an epically hectic past few months in which she’s scooped up six Grammy Awards; launched her spicy-sweet debut fragrance, Beyoncé Heat, with a late-night party inNew York (it has since broken sales records for celebrity scents); and wrapped up her yearlong “I Am…” tour, the superstar shows not a hint of wear and tear. “I’m running on adrenaline!” she says, her voice honeyed with a surprisingly strong Texas drawl. “I’m too happy to feel tired.”
As a 16-time Grammy winner, a Golden Globe–nominated actress, a House of Deréon fashion muse, a perfume-brand powerhouse, and the woman who got Jay-Z to put a ring on it, Beyoncé has racked up almost too many accomplishments to tally since first rising to fame with Destiny’s Child more than a decade ago. Whether elegantly serenading the Obamas on Inauguration Night while flashing gunmetal Minx nails, stomping across the stage as bouffant-hairdo-and-Thierry Mugler-sporting alter ego Sasha Fierce on her stadium-wowing megatours, or vamping it up in black lipstick alongside Lady Gaga in the recent “Telephone” video, she’s a bona fide beauty icon who always manages to balance knockout sex appeal with good-girl charm. It’s therefore something of a relief to discover that when the superbusy star finally does get some sleep, she’ll be slipping under the covers with Aquaphor smeared on her face. “I go to bed looking totally greasy,” Beyoncé says, laughing. “It’s not all glamour all the time.”She’s as famous for her ever-changing looks as she is for being a workaholic singer, actress, and all-around superstar.

Little finishing is needed to complete the garments and linings tend to be optional. And depending upon your own speed and efficiency, there are certain patterns that can be completed in an hour or less! Here are some fun summer fashion projects that are instantly gratifying:
Chic Knit Dress: This cute little number from CraftStylish.com will literally only take an hour, as it's basically an offset rectangle. Add a belt, a chunky necklace, some fab heels, and you've got yourself a look that will go easily from day to night.
Quick Flapper Frock: When Mary Brooks Picken first introduced her one hour dress pattern in 1923, no one really believed that it could be done. Naysayers were shocked when the pretty flapper dress was completed in 34 minutes flat at a New York City demonstration.
