From the 1950s to the Present: The “It” Girl From Every Decade (4 of 5)

Beyoncé (2000s)

It’s easy to forget that before Beyoncé became the most decorated female musical artist of all time, she was just one of a trio that made up Destiny’s Child. Her first step towards legendary status came in the form of her 2003 solo debut, Dangerously in Love, and the rest, as they say, is herstory.

Jennifer Lawrence (2010s)

Rising to prominence with her role in The Hunger Games series, Jennifer Lawrence became known not only for her acting talent but also for her down-to-earth personality, sense of humor, and relatability, traits that resonated strongly with the public and media. Lawrence received critical acclaim and won several awards, including an Academy Award for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook. Her versatility in taking on diverse roles, from blockbusters to independent films, and her consistent presence in the media spotlight, especially her direct and uncensored approach to fame, made her a major figure throughout the decade.
