When Beyoncé gives you Lemonade, you take it and make lemonade braids. In her 2017 "Formation" music video, Mrs. Carter wore tiny, side-swept cornrows that fell to one side of her face. Since then, the protective style, while not new, has been everywhere this Summer, with the internet collectively dubbing the look "lemonade braids."

Hair braiders and stylists have given Queen Bey's iconic style their own spin, too, creating braids of all sizes, lengths, and colors. If you've been on the hunt for a new style to guide you into Fall, you can get a sip of lemonade braid inspo ahead.
