Beyoncé can add Emmy Award winner to her ever-growing list of accolades.
On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the Television Academy announced that Beyoncé, 43, won a Primetime Emmy as a costume designer for the Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming category for the ensembles designed for Netflix’s Christmas Game Day halftime show — a.k.a. Beyoncé Bowl.
Costume designer Shiona Turini, assistant costume designers Erica Rice and Molly Peters, costume supervisor Chelsea Staebell and head of workroom Timothy White also received an Emmy for their work costuming Beyoncé Bowl, per Deadline.
The Animation, Costume, Emerging Media Programming and Motion Design categories will be presented at the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The first round of winners were announced on Aug. 12.
Beyonce is no stranger to the NAACP Image Awards, as she has won 2 at this years preshow for Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Album of the Year (Cowboy Carter). This brings her total to 27 NAACP Image Awards throughout her career. She still has one nomination to be announced, which is 16 Carriages in the Outstanding Soul/R&B Song category.
But Bey isn’t the only one going home with a trophy. Blue Ivy Carter, won tonight for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance (Motion Picture) for Mufasa: The Lion King.
The Image Awards, which honor the year’s best in Black achievement and excellence, will continue Friday with a Creative Arts ceremony ahead of Saturday’s main ceremony at the Pasadena Civic Center, airing live on BET and CBS at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
Making history is nothing new for Beyoncé, and nothing is slowing her down from setting more records.
The cultural icon, who went into the 2025 Grammy Awards with 11 nominations, continued to claim her rightful throne in music throughout the Sunday night ceremony, where she broke more records.
While she is already the most-awarded Grammy artist in history (she set that record in 2023 with her album Renaissance), she extended her record on Sunday. She won three awards during the 2025 ceremony, bringing her total number of trophies to 35.
Beyoncé also finally won album of the year for Cowboy Carter after years of being nominated for but not winning the top award. The win gets rid of her “record” as the most nominated female artist without a win in the album of the year category. (She was previously nominated for I Am…Sasha Fierce, Beyoncé, Lemonade and Renaissance.)
“I just feel very full and very honored. It’s been many, many years,” she says while accepting the long-awaited award. “I just wanna thank the Grammys, every songwriter, every collaborator, every producer, all of the hard work. I want to dedicate this to Ms. [Linda] Martell, and I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors. God bless y’all. Thank you so much.”
The superstar received her award from Stevie Wonder.
Beyoncé received her much-deserved Innovator Award at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday night (April 1), and the “Texas Hold ‘Em” superstar took the stage to accept her trophy from a fellow icon, Stevie Wonder.
“Whenever anyone asks me if there’s anyone I could listen to for the rest of my life, it’s always you. God bless you,” she told the “Isn’t She Lovely” singer, thanking him for playing the harmonica on her version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene,” featured on her freshly released album, Cowboy Carter.
Wonder then sweetly told Bey, “I just want to thank you for motivating the world to becoming a better place.”
During her heartfelt acceptance speech, Beyoncé shared what being an innovator means to her. “Innovation starts with a dream, and the road to execute that dream can be very bumpy. Being an innovator is doing what everyone believes is impossible,” she told the crowd, dressed in line with her current country era, rocking a leather jumpsuit with fringe, as well as a big belt with a buckle and a sleek black cowboy hat. “Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength. Being an innovator is leaning on faith and trusting that God will catch you and guide you.”
She continued, “To all the record labels, every radio station, every award show, my hope is that we’re more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art with no preconceived notions. I want to dedicate this award to all the innovators who have dedicated their lives and their art to creating shifts. Thank you for your sacrifice and your powerful forces and your dauntless spirit.”
Bey then thanked the artistic innovators who inspired her, including Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Tracy Chapman, Linda Martell, Prince, Andre 3000, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and Wonder, applauding them for “executing your dream so we can all follow.”
The “Break My Soul” singer wrapped up by thanking her team at her Parkwood Entertainment company, as well as her husband Jay-Z, whom she called “my rock, my best friend,” and her three children — 12-year-old Blue Ivy and six-year-old twins Sir and Rumi — “who continue to be my inspiration and biggest blessing.”
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter arrived on Friday (March 29) and officially became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2024, and marked the most first-day streams for a country album by a female artist in the history of Amazon Music.
What a night! Another snub from the Grammys, while trying to pacify and distract us with success in other categories. Nonetheless, Beyonce walked away with 4 trophies making her the most Grammy awarded artist in history. This is amazing considering the award show has been on for 65 years.
Last night, Beyonce took home wins for Best R&B Song (Cuff It), Best Traditional R&B Performance (Plastic Off The Sofa), Best Dance/Electronic Recording (Break My Soul), and Best Dance/Electronic Album (Renaissance).
Beyonce arrived to the show late, and had already won 3/4 of her awards before she arrived. She took a quick photoshoot, and took to her IG to give thanks.
The RIAA has officially certified Formation and Hold Up Platinum in the United States. Both songs are from her latest studio album, Lemonade. Stream the songs below!
