11 People Who Flawlessly Paid Tribute to Beyoncé by Recreating Her Videos

You really haven’t seen Bey’s moves until you’ve seen them performed by someone in a massive snuggie that could accommodate all the original members of Destiny’s Child. Boy wonder Ton Do-Nguyen mastered all the head rolls and floor work with some help from his friends. Consider this an informational video on how to slay in a slanket.

This video from artist Gery Georgieva takes the “Single Ladies” dance to the next level. In the remote snowy Rhodopi Mountains in Bulgaria, the multimedia artist nailed all the moves wearing traditional garb. She called it “Rodopska Beyonce, Auto-Ehnography: Doin’ Ma Own Li’l Thing.” Watch as she breathlessly whispers the lines on top of the most elevated stage ever.

A bunch of shirtless dudes (Matthew Barela, Andrew Yang, Daniel Randell, Garrett Bryant, and Timothy Williams) created an excellent remake of Beyoncé’s squad goals music video “7/11.” As a clever nod to Yonce’s kale sweatshirt in the original video, they slapped a lot of kale around.

Singer Rita Ora took her tribute to the high seas, recreating the “7/11” video on a yacht in St. Barths. The cast: fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger, the boat crew and an inflatable pool toy. All the points go to Rita for taking the “in the air,” part of the song literally with flyboarding.

Before Serena Williams, ever appeared in Beyonce’s music video for “Sorry,” she recreated “7/11” for a popular Vogue video. Obviously, it was tennis-themed which gave the athlete countless opportunities to slam a ball with her racket for the song’s line: “smack it in the air.” It also starred the men of the Ballenisles Country Club in dad socks, so it was perfect.

This is possibly the most faithful reconstruction of the homemade vibes of the original. The bridal party mimicked the body rolls, the sunglasses and the “twerking rhythmically while you do your hair” part. Their human pyramid was exemplary.

St. Louis Missouri high school student India Ross went viral for wearing a DIY version of Beyoncé’s sheer 2015 Met Gala dress. She told designer Toi Hall, “make me look like Beyonce,” and her gown, which Hall covered in gems from Michael’s and Wal-Mart, looked pretty much identical to Riccardo Tisci’s Givenchy Haute Couture that Bey wore to the 2015 Met Gala.

This teen had two of her dancer friends expertly recreate the opener from Beyoncé’s “Formation” video before she emerged from her house in a glittery dress. Watch the teen communicate world domination on the red carpet before the second string event of the night — the actual prom. Naturally, there’s a smoke machine effect.

Veronica Watson, Legoland Discovery Center Westchester’s Master Model Builder, used LEGOs to interpret Beyoncé’s Lemonade album, reported the Huffington Post. In her faithful reconstruction of the “Hold Up” video, she expertly reinvented the ruffles of Beyoncé’s iconic yellow dress — all with LEGO pieces.

When the choreography is this impressive, it’s safe to say Melissa Molinaro’s wedding guests basically got a free Beyoncé cover band concert. The bride told USA Today she planned the powerful surprise performance for five months, and the well-rehearsed medley featured two of Beyoncé’s songs about commitment: “Upgrade U” and “End of Time.” Even the stunning costumes made this very close to the real thing.

The high school pep rally crowd lost it when their county officer busted some “Formation” moves for North Stafford High School’s homecoming in Virginia. The county sheriff’s deputy Lt. Deuntay Diggs’ precision was all the way there, and he had the star power needed to rise to the top tier of the Beyhive.

There’s a special glory to seeing the county’s first openly gay police deputy glow with pride as he knocks out his popular routine. It’s a form of catharsis to see a cop celebrate “Formation’s” selfhood theme.
