Fans flooded social media with comments about the emotional moment while also admiring Beyoncé’s stunning outfit.

Her makeup included gold eyeshadow and a glossy nude lip. Beyoncé arrived in a long fur coat, carrying a chic black and gold purse and wearing gradient cat-eye sunglasses.

Tina expressed how much joy her daughters bring her, saying, “My daughters have brought me such incredible joy and pride in my life far more than anything else,” which visibly affected Beyoncé.
