Just a day after her mother Tina Knowles hit back at ‘racist and self-hating critics’ of her daughter’s Renaissance premiere look, Beyoncé is going blonde again.
The 42-year-old singer was accused of lightening her skin when she went blonde for the premiere earlier this week, though that criticism didn’t seem to faze her.
She took to Instagram on Wednesday, sharing eight new snaps of her and husband Jay-Z to her 318 million followers, showing off her stylish blonde look.
The first snap featured the singer in a pristine cropped white hoodie with the hood pulled over her platinum locks.
She rocked black sunglasses and a cream-colored suit coat with white sweat pants and completed her look with white pumps.

Beyoncé’s mother Tina Knowles furiously struck out at online critics accusing her daughter of lightening her skin in an Instagram video posted Tuesday.
Knowles, 69, was responding after some commenters on social media complained that the 42-year-old superstar appeared to have lighter skin and also wore a platinum blond wig in a photo snapped from her appearance at the Renaissance concert film premiere on Saturday.
Some had suggested that the hitmaker ‘was white now,’ while others complained that ‘she’s not a Black woman!’
‘I am sick and tired of people attacking her,’ Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video in which she denied commenters’ concerns.
She also compared her daughter’s outfit to styles worn by Black entertainers going back at least as far as Etta James.

‘Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,’ Knowles began her lengthy caption.
She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her Renaissance documentary, ‘where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’
‘How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,’ she seethed. ‘Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’
She also castigated Black commenters on social media who had accused her daughter of trying to lighten her skin, calling them ‘bozos.’
‘Lying and faking and acting like you’re so ignorant that you don’t understand That black women have worn platinum hair since the Etta James days,’ she wrote. ‘I just went and looked at all the beautiful talented black celebrities who have worn platinum hair and it has been just about everyone of them at one time or another. Are they all trying to be white?’
Knowles added that she was ‘sick and tired of people attacking her.’
‘Every time she does something that she works her a** off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork,’ she wrote.
She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
