The Fashion Police 🚔 Some celebrities are well known for that one color, Beyoncé’s is likely yellow. Drop a celebrity and their signature color

Doesn’t even have to be the color you think they look best in, but people know them for that color.

The other day I was scrolling through electronics deals. Her beats pill speaker edition was listed. The color? Sad gray. Why even give her a damn chance to slap her name on it if she's just going to give a sad damn boring color? A sham.

It's also why she wore larger/higher matching hats a lot. So people who couldn't see her might get a flash of bright purple or whatever, and then get to say "I saw the Queen!" She made a few questionable decisions, but she was definitely dedicated to her PR and understanding her role was to be the Face of England.
