Michelle Obama And Beyoncé's Celebrity Friends Recreate Her Iconic Formation Video Look For Her Birthday

Yesterday marked the day that Queen Beyoncé turned the big 36, and while an abundance of messages and tributes flooded the internet, it was the stars family and friends that got together to form the most extravagant bday gesture of all.

Former first lady Michelle Obama was among 18 of the singer's family and friends that got in on the special tribute, which saw each of them recreate an iconic look adorned by the Queen herself in her Formation video.

Bey's daughter Blue Ivy proved she can pose up a storm just like her momma, along with her good friend Serena Williams and her former Destiny's Child gals Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.

While of course the woman we have to thank for making the whole 'Beyoncé birthday' thing possible, her mum Tina Knowles Lawson, also made an appearance and all the incredible snaps were posted on Bey's website.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEYONCÉ FROM YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS," read the message accompanying the powerful pics.

Tbh we're crazy in love with this gesture, and can only hope that our pals are taking notes for our next birthday. The tribute wasn't all about the Queen though, as the site used the opportunity to draw attention to something that is no doubt close to the singer's heart.

Just beneath the birthday message the site urged visitors to support relief efforts following Hurricane Harvey, which hit the Lemonade singer's hometown of Houston on August 25. 

The message read: "JOIN US IN SUPPORTING HOUSTON RELIEF EFFORTS #BEYGOODHOUSTON."

HBD Bey <3.
