Pop star Beyonce turned 36 this week, and to celebrate some of her family and famous friends dressed as her.

In a photo montage , they recreated her outfit from one of her iconic hits 'Formation', which was released last year on her album 'Lemonade'.
Her five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy, tennis star Serena Williams and former Destiny’s Child bandmate Kelly Rowland all took part in the photo collage.
But it was a former First Lady of the United States that drove the internet wild – Michelle Obama’s appearance, complete with matching braids, chunky necklace and wide-brimmed black hat, was a big hit with Beyonce’s fans.
The stunt was part of a charity initiative, 'BeyGood Houston', to help people affected by tropical storm Harvey, and encouraged fans to donate.
