Beyoncé Makes ‘Easter Memories’ Wearing Braids With Beads

While her sister, Solange, makes her stylish rounds at Coachella alongside Joanne the Scammer, Beyoncé and her growing baby bump slayed Easter with a new braided hairdo.

The pop star showed off long, blond cornrows with beads in a photo her mother, Tina Lawson, posted to Instagram on Sunday. Wearing an off-white, off-the-shoulder dress with flatform sandals and gold reflective sunglasses, Beyoncé looked like she was actually dressed for Coachella. But she was in fact spending the holiday with her social media-savvy mom, Kelly Rowland, and their loved ones.

Beyoncé’s braided ’do brings up many hair memories from the highlighted cornrows she sported during her Destiny’s Child days to her “Formation” thigh-length braids that we wanted to copy ASAP. However, these braids and beads remind us of “Forget Me Nots” singer Patrice Rushen‘s signature braided hairstyle (which actually inspired Solange’s A Seat at the Table look).

Whoever is the muse behind Beyoncé’s braids with beads, we’re sure she’s going to influence many women and young girls to bring back this classic hairstyle just in time for summer.
