Get Funky: Inside Beyoncé's Soul Train Themed Birthday Party
Beyoncé turned 35 over the weekend, and in true Queen Bey fashion, she went all-out for an amazingly over-the-top birthday party—did you expect anything less? The theme: Soul Train. Don't know what that means? Well, it was a seminal piece of American TV gold that aired in the 1970s—like a way more funky version of Top of the Pops, where guests were encouraged to showcase their best dance moves.
The A-list attendees: everyone from Serena Williams and Jourdan Dunn to Kelly Rowland and Joan Smalls. Clad in sequins, wide-leg trousers, and more, everyone wore their best '70s-inspired looks for the occasion. From what we can tell, it was definitely the party to be at.
On her Instagram, Beyoncé wrote a sweet note to her friends and family to thank them for their birthday messages. "I just want to say thank you to everyone for all the beautiful and thoughtful birthday wishes," she captioned the photo. "I am so fortunate to have the love and support of my family, my friends, and my hive. We've grown up together and you guys continue to inspire and motivate me [every day…]" The feeling is mutual, Bey!

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
