Tina Knowles, 71, looks effortlessly stylish as she's snapped outside of BBC studios in London for appearance on The One Show
Tina Knowles looked as glamorous as ever for an appearance on BBC 'S The One Show on Tuesday night.
The businesswoman, 71, crossed the pond for a few days in London to promote her new memoir Matriarch, which gives an insight into her life of 'grief, tragedy, love and heartbreak'.
Ahead of the show, Tina - who is Beyoncé's mother - posed for some photos outside the BBC's central London studios in the eye-catching outfit she wore for the evening.
Letting her brown locks flow past her shoulders, the designer looked predictably fashionable in a fuchsia blazer which she matched with some pink lipstick.
While holding an over-the-shoulder bag in her right hand, Tina slipped into some stylish black trousers that she teamed with a pair of coordinated smart shoes.
Tina became the latest celebrity - after the likes of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, and Prince Harry - to release a memoir giving an insight into her life on April 22.
At over 400 pages, the book spares few details as Tina talks raising Beyoncé, what Jay-Z's like as a son-in-law and more serious issues such as her breast cancer diagnosis last year.
During her appearance on The One Show on Wednesday, the Miss Tina designer said writing the new book has been a 'great healing journey' for her.
'I have just been behind the scenes for pretty much my whole career, so this was a big step for me to come out,' she said.
'It's been a wonderful journey, I've learned so much from writing this book. It was very necessary to look all the things, the good and the bad, that have happened in my life, and to tell it in my own words.
'We're in a time where there are so many rumours, and I just wanted to set the record straight on so many things. It's been a great healing journey for me.'
Tina only revealed she had been battling cancer in April having been diagnosed in 2024.
She learned she was suffering with Stage 1 breast cancer after they discovered two tumors during a mammogram appointment.
She told Gayle King on CBS Mornings that her daughters Beyoncé, 43, and Solange, 38, who she shares with ex-husband Matthew Knowles, 72, supported her through the difficult ordeal by lifting her spirits.
'I was nervous,' she said, ' and so they just started joking with me.'
Knowles said Solange also played a viral video about the word 'demure' to cheer her up at one point.
'I start laughing. I get out of my head... Then I said, "I'm just so happy that y'all are here",' she said about the touching moment.
Tina added that her superstar daughter Beyoncé gave her a rendition of the Destiny's Child song Walk With Me after her diagnosis.
'It's about God walking with you into something and protecting you,' Tina said through tears. 'And I went in there feeling just like God has got me.'
Tina's interview on The One Show came days after she appeared on Meghan Markle's Lemonada Media podcast.
The pair spoke about business endeavours, with the Duchess of Sussex talking about the possibility of running a business with her daughter Lilibet in the future.
Meghan said: 'I wonder if one day I'll be in business with Lili and we'll be building something.' Knowles added: 'Yeah, that's the best.'
Tina went on to talk about working with her daughter: 'You know you have disagreements, and you have to - I'm the one to always cave. If my kids are mad at me, I can't take it. I'll cave. If we have a disagreement, it's her business, so she gets the win.'
Tina and Beyoncé entered into business together last year after starting the haircare brand Cécred.

Major bar chain to shut ALL 250 venues across the UK for 24 hours next week in unusual business move
A CHAIN of popular cafe bars will close for 24-hours next week. The closure will affect more than 250 branches countrywide on Monday June 9. 4 4 Loungers opened their first store in 2002 in Bristol and have since expanded across the country. They are known for their wide range of food, cocktails and coffees, as well as each lounge having its own unique decor - with some customers not realising it's even a chain. The closure is so that it's staff can enjoy a grand celebration, which they call LoungeFest. Beginning in 2013, the event celebrates the company's 9,000 staff. In an announcement on Facebook, the company wrote: "Attention Loungers! "All of our Lounges will be closed on Monday, 9th June, as we will be heading to our annual staff party - Loungefest! "We do this every year to celebrate everybody's hard work. "Regular Lounging will resume on Tuesday, 10th June." Photos of the event show an exciting mix of music, fairground rides, and a healthy dose of partying. Guy Youll, Loungers' Chief People Officer told Wales Online: "Back in 2013, Loungers was one of the first in the hospitality industry to host a party like this and I'm delighted we've kept close to our roots by continuing every year getting bigger and better. Most popular treats for Brits on holiday "Our teams work incredibly hard all year round so LoungeFest is our way of celebrating them and showing how much we appreciate the dedication and care they put in every day at all our sites to deliver great hospitality. It's going to be quite a party!" Facebook commenters were pleased to see the company showing appreciation for their staff. One wrote: "Well done for treating your staff I hope the staff and you have a brilliant time." While another commented: "Oh that's a lovely thing to do for all the hard working staff." This year's LoungeFest will take place at Ragley Hall in Warwickshire. Its theme is 'at the movies' as the event will be equipped with funfair attractions, DJ sessions, music stages featuring live bands and performances by Loungers' employees - as well as games, activities and complimentary food and drink. 4 4 Loungers was founded in 2002 by a group of three friends on North Street in Bristol. They also run the popular Cosy Club chain of restaurants, as well as the roadside eatery Brightside. As of March 2025, the company operates 291 sites in England and Wales across the three brands. Its 250th Lounge - Pionero Lounge - opened in Rochdale in January 2024. With plans to expand with 10 more restaurants, loyal customers have been begging the company to come to their town. The company won the employer of the year award at the Casual Dining Awards 2025.
