I'm not saying I’ve made the pledge of blood to the honorable society of the Beyoncé Beehive Nation, but I do occasionally get caught up and go through the trail membership. This is not something I’m afraid to admit. I’m usually drawn into the hive by her impeccable sense of style and ability to pull a flawless look in something as simple as a tank and joggers to a hot-of-the-runway Michael Costello gown.

A pixie cut full of finger waves, a vampy lips, and a smoldering stare drove many beehive fans crazy as Queen Bey delivered her androgynous sexy side in "Haunted" from the self titled visual album. Add some "Haunted" to your closets with these T-strap pumps ($60) from Jessica Simpson, pinstriped skinny leg trousers ($48) from Top Shop, and tie neck blouse ($35) from Simply Be.

Beyoncé was absolutely gorgeous in the "Best Thing I Never Had" video. A beautiful mix of nudes and soft pinks created the color palette of every girl's dream look on her special day. To get the look, slip into a lace corset ($210) from Chantelle Opera. For the plus size beauty, a lace basque with multiway straps from ($28) Simply Be or jacquard corset ($60) from Hips and Curves have just want you need.

"Pretty Hurts"

The songtress takes us behind the curtains in this pageant-themed video that shares many raw images of the superficial industry. "Pretty Hurt" carries a wonderful message to young women about being happy with yourself first and foremost. One of my favorite pieces in the video is the yellow swimsuit wore by the contestants. This vibrate color does wonders for any complexion and if you are not swimsuit ready, here are some great alternatives. Brighten your wardrobe with this high slit maxi ($128) is from Asos. Another options is this sweetheart line dress ($65) from Simply Be. If you loved the starry motif dress ($25) try this one from Eloquii.

"Run The World (Girls)"

Hands down "Run The World (Girls)" is one of my favorite videos. The video to this girl power anthem is visually stunning with the vibrant prints and rich textures of the African culture. Add some global chic pieces to your wardrobe with accessories that mimic textures like these from heeled sandals ($100) from Zara, colorful African print handbag ($120) from theFFS, and wooden goddess necklace ($70) from Kenneth Jay. Take the look to the beach with this perfect patterned two-piece ($100) from the GabiFresh for Swimsuits for All.
