Telephone With Lady Gaga
In the late 2000s, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga teamed up for not one, but two music videos together. First, in 2008, Knowles made an appearance in Gaga's visual for "Telephone" and then the ladies reunited for Bey's 2009 hit, "Video Phone."
"I can't even watch the Telephone video, I hate it so much. Beyoncé and I are great together," reportedly told Time Out magazine in 2011. "But there are so many ideas in that video and all I see in that video is my brain throbbing with ideas and I wish I had edited myself a little bit more."
Pepsi Gladiators
Remember when the princesses of pop Britney Spears, Pink and Beyoncé posed as fierce sword-wielding gladiators to promote Pepsi? Now you do.
Smooth Moves With Usher
Over a decade ago, Usher made a cameo as Beyoncé's sexy dance partner in her new music video. That music video was for the one and only "Naughty Girl."
Twinning With Shakira
A few years later, the songstress teamed up for a track and matching music video for the hip-moving "Beautiful Liar," where the two stars were styled almost like twins.
A Hip Hopera
Beyonce started out her career in front of a microphone, but for her first film role, she starred as an aspiring—you guessed it—actress opposite Mekhi Phifer in the 2001 MTV musical film, Carmen: A Hip Hopera.
Foxxy Cleopatra
When she was just old enough to order a drink, Beyoncé was already starring opposite iconic comedian Mike Meyers in the final installment of his Austin Powers trilogy, Austin Powers in Goldmember.
Just like that, the legendary line "I'm Foxxy Cleopatra and I'm a whole lotta woman" was born.
The Fighting Temptations
Next up, the "Hold Up" singer headed to Georgia to star with Cuba Gooding Jr. in The Fighting Temptations. However, the project garnered more praise for its Knowles-driven soundtrack than for the actual film.
The Pink Panther
Similar to the Fighting Temptations, when Bey signed on to star in the 2006 installment of The Pink Panther franchise, she generated more success with the movie's theme song, "Check On It," than the film itself.
The track was number one on the Hot 100 chart for five weeks straight.
Obsessed
Some may have forgotten all about Beyoncé's first attempt at a thriller alongside Idris Elba in 2009's Obsessed. The actress sported red curls as she fought off Ali Larter's husband-obsessed character.
This Outfit
Years before she was named the CFDA Fashion Icon of the Year, Beyoncé spent the earliest chapters of her career experimenting with her style with Destiny's Child. Exhibit A: this glitzy cowboy look from the 1999 music video for "Bug A Boo."
