Story highlights

The attendees at Coachella also saw Beyonce reuniting with Destiny`s Child singers

She makes heads turn with whatever she does. On Saturday Beyonce created history as the singer became the first woman of colour to headline music festival Coachella.

"Coachella, thank you for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline," said the 36-year-old.

The attendees at Coachella also saw Beyonce reuniting with Destiny`s Child singers as the `Lemonade` singer brought out Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to sing several of their hits, including `Say My Name.

It was their first reunion since Beyonce`s Super Bowl halftime show in 2013. The group propelled Beyonce to stardom but was also beset by internal friction.

On Saturday, Beyonce referred to her bandmates as her "sisters" -- and was also joined on stage by her real sister, Solange Knowles. The singer also performed a set with her husband, rapper Jay Z.
