Beyoncé is reliving her 42nd birthday celebrations.

The "Break My Soul" singer, 42, shared a carousel of images from her Sept. 4 birthday on Instagram on Monday, starting with a sweet image of her mom Tina Knowles, and dad Mathew Knowles planting a kiss on both her cheeks. 

Wearing a Renaissance World Tour T-shirt and ripped blue jeans, Beyoncé also shared a photo of her standing backstage in a light-hearted pose while holding a drink, followed by a video of her celebrating on stage in a "Virgo's Groove" T-shirt and futuristic sunglasses.

The singer was then shown cuddling up to husband JAY-Z on a kitchen counter with the words "Happy Birthday" spelled out behind them by large silver balloons. 

Continuing her wish that fans wear silver for her birthday show in Los Angeles, Beyoncé's birthday cake consisted of a silver disco ball, surrounded by smaller silver balls, while a white floral "B" was present surrounded by white roses and small disco balls.

Away from the family celebrations, Beyoncé received a huge birthday surprise at the SoFi Stadium when Diana Ross joined her mid-show to sing “Happy Birthday."

Thank you to the incomparable Ms. Diana Ross,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram on Monday. “The 1 of 1, the number 1, the only one. Thank you from the depths of me, my Queen. 🐝.”

Other famous faces to attend the birthday show included Meghan Markle, Adele, Kim Kardashian, Khloe Kardashian, Kris Jenner, Jeff Bezos and Gabrielle Union.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet also packed on the PDA in the audience. In a video shared on social media, the two stars chatted away while standing in a private box, with Jenner’s sister Kendall Jenner nearby.
