Ok she released a sweatshirt collection with bold 'ivy park' prints but that's it.

Well, that's not exactly true. She and her mother founded Beyond Productions which included two fashion lines, one for womenswear, and one for juniors in 2005. That same year she teamed up with House of Brands (shoe company) for shoes in the first of those collections. Four years later she launched a new junior line. In 2010 she teamed up with C&A to sell her clothes in their Brazil stores. In 2013 she was the face of H&M's campaign, also collaborating with its design team, and H&M was very clear that Beyoncé was involved in coming up with specific pieces entirely by herself.

So the Ivy Park collection is not just one standalone thing and she does know what she's doing. That doesn't necessarily make her a fashion icon for sure, but it's a logical choice imo when you need a celeb that has something to do with fashion and is hot enough rn to get crazy press coverage :shrug:

Well imo she doesn't deserve it cause of the 1st reason of that list and mostly cause I feel like she has no input in what she wears, it feels like she is on the level of Kim Kardashian, having a whole team creating a perfect look that she will just put on, and have praise by the public cause her extra pro team picked it for her. Not that others don't do that, but they have at least some input in it. 

isnt that the same for all the celebrities incluing gaga?

She's definitely not a fashion icon. We all know they gave her this award because she is a huge superstar.

Gaga and Rihanna deserved their fashion icon awards.

Just because she doesn't look like walking circus... does not make her not a fashion icon. Many women and girls want to wear what she has on. Fashion icon. Go B! Get your award.

she's an icon

all these awards are subjective anyway, I'm a fan of beyonce and I find it a little odd that she won this random award but even though she has a team that helps her she still chooses her team. She won't pick people that don't work with her own tastes.

6, she only rests on Givenchy.

7. Her body is not for couture.

8. She can make a $78.000 archive piece look very cheap.

Even though I feel like getting annoyed about this award is pointless, it has gotten to the point where it's actually refreshing to read someone's honest critical opinion about Bey instead of the usual bandwagon stanning.

Anyway, Beyonce has never really been a ~fashion girl~ or whatever, her tastes has always tended toward the conventional, and the tight, sheer, and the sparkly. Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and J.Lo could all share a closet and no one would be the wiser. 

That said, I was pleasantly surprised at what she wore to the awards. A lot of people thought it was terrible, but I thought it was at least different compared to her usual sheer bodycon outfits.

Beyoncé is more of an ensemble of popular looks than a purveyor of unique style. Basically she pays her stylists good money.
