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 pH๏τos 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 doctors discovered two tumors during a mammogram appointment.

Knowles has however since been given the all-clear after undergoing surgery to remove the cancer last summer.

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 throughout the difficult ordeal.

‘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 SusSєx 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.
