Throwback Thursday: Beyonce

Andy Gray | Jul 24, 2013

*********

Since bursting onto the scene in 1997 as part of Destiny's Child, Beyonce has become one of the most recognized women in the world. The past week has found her in the spotlight for a variety of reasons (marching in support of Trayvon Martin, spending time with survivors of the Boston bombings, getting her hair caught in a fan) and made us reflect back to her lone swimsuit appearance in 2007. In this video, the pop star admits to being nervous about posing in such little clothing and predicts her friends will be "shocked" when they see the pics. We've compiled the most shocking of her swimsuit pics for today's Throwback Thursday: Beyonce edition.
