The photos surfaced on Beyoncé’s website as she celebrates her 38th birthday. The images were apart of a gallery of pictures from Beyoncé’s past year or so, which included photos with her husband Jay-Z , outings at events like Leonardo DiCaprio ‘s birthday, and Halloween dress-ups like her interpretation of Lisa Bonet. One image included Bey’s adorable twins, Rumi and Sir Carter , dressed in kente cloth-like overalls while their mom was modeling her Lisa Bonet looks. You can check out one of the photos here .

I thank God for all of my blessings, my wins and my losses. I thank God for all of you! I would have posted earlier, but I had work to do. I gotta job Baaaaby. Here is your B at 37. Love Y’all.” Meanwhile, Lisa Bonet continues to be celebrated by people across generations. The actress gained prominence when she starred as Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show from 1984 to 1991.

Up until today, the 51-year-old actress would make T.V. and movie appearances every now and then, from Biker Boyz to Road to Paloma , which stars her husband Jason Momoa .
