In 2003, a 21-year-old Queen Bey, now 34, made her solo VMAs debut — sans Destiny’s Child — with an unforgettable medley of her hits “Baby Boy” and “Crazy in Love’ featuring her now-husband, Jay Z. Later in the evening, she rocked a gold sequin ensemble as she accepted three awards, including Best Female Video and Best R&B Video for “Crazy in Love.”

This year, Beyoncé appeared ageless as Olympic gymnasts Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, Madison Kocian and Laurie Hernandez presented her with the Best Female Video Award for her Lemonade jam “Hold Up.”

During the “Sorry” singer’s speech, she looked stunning in a lavish Elie Saab gold lace jumpsuit, which she completed with a matching cape.

Despite the fact that 13 years have passed, Beyoncé showed fans that she’s virtually timeless, from her pulled back curly hairstyle to her oversize earrings and her glittering attire. And don’t even get Us started on that magically fresh face!

Besides wowing the Beyhive with her eternal style and beauty on Sunday night, the entertainer slayed the stage with a 15-plus-minute performance of five of her Lemonade songs: “Pray You Catch Me,” “Hold Up,” “Sorry,” “Don’t Hurt Yourself” and “Formation.”

The incredible feat made her the artist with the most Moonmen ever (25), surpassing Madonna’s 20.
