Beyoncé is reflecting on the most special piece her mom, Tina Knowles, has designed for her.
In an interview with i-D published on Wednesday, Nov. 11, the superstar, 45, said her “favorite dress” Knowles made for her was the white strapless gown she wore for her 2008 wedding to Jay-Z.
“My favorite dress my mother designed was my wedding dress—it was gorgeously simple and made with her love,” she told the outlet.
The “Single Ladies” singer continued, “We had a very small wedding in our home. We told the guests we were having a party, and no one knew they were coming to our wedding but our parents and a few friends. Wearing a dress she designed was very important to me, and more important than any designer dress.”

Knowles, 72, has famously designed clothes for Beyoncé throughout her career, from stage costumes to red carpet looks. The mother-daughter duo launched the clothing line House of Deréon in 2004 and work together on Beyoncé’s haircare line Cécred, which debuted in 2024.
