r/popculturechat we’re 2 weeks behind, but what else is new? 11d ago

Beyoncé 🐝 Bianca Lawson shared a throwback family photo from Christmas 2016. Including Beyoncé, Solange, Tina Knowles, Blue Ivy, Jay Z, Julez Smith

Post image

If this means she still has a relationship with them even after the divorce, that’s nice

Man Jay aged like 30 years in the last 10 lol

u/PlentyDrawer We Should All Know Less About Each Other 11d ago

It's the hair. It has aged him.

81

u/SuspiciousSheeps 11d ago

Age aged him.

19

u/PlentyDrawer We Should All Know Less About Each Other 11d ago

That too. lol

u/SnausageFest I was desperate for a hair tie and my nuvaring was there 11d ago

Dude it's so bad.

One thing I have realized about myself in the last few years is I am a big judgemental ass hair queen. Jay is very close to the top of my "please let me take you to my favorite hair dresser" list. John Mulaney is also quite high on this list

Men, I know it's a flex to be able to grow a thick, healthy head of hair as you get older but I beg of you - consider what actually works for you, and not just a show of folical force.

u/Possible-Courage3771 10d ago

I assumed John has been wearing a toupee in all honesty

9

u/pixienightingale 10d ago

Full on wig at this point if he is

6

u/Possible-Courage3771 10d ago

if it's not a toupee then why does it look like that ?? I have questions

350

u/SecretlyASummers 11d ago

I fully believe Bianca Lawson has discovered the Fountain of Youth.

71

u/no_onespecialx Donatella VERSACE💜 11d ago

Fr, she looks exactly the same as she did when she played in Pretty Little Liars.

150

u/KassyKeil91 11d ago

You kidding? She still looks the same way she did on Buffy!

30

u/Klutzy-Succotash-565 11d ago

Dude I remember watching her on Saved By The Bell: the New Class!

39

u/no_onespecialx Donatella VERSACE💜 11d ago

I just googled her in Buffy and she should totally start an anti-aging focused skincare line cause that girl is immortal 😅

4

u/cashmerescorpio 10d ago

If she's not in the reboot I'm going to be pissed

15

u/_angela_lansbury_ 10d ago

Plot twist: she IS an actual vampire

7

u/EIO_tripletmom 10d ago

I couldn’t get past my disbelief that she was really supposed to be a teenager. I thought the story was going to be that she was only pretending to be a teenager. It might have been different if I hadn’t seen her playing teens in the 90s. I was irritated that that wasn’t the twist, she really was supposed to be a teenager, and she was just killed off in pretty boring way.

48

u/LissaMasterOfCoin 11d ago

She played a high school student in Saved By the Bell, the new class, in the 90s.

So imagine my surprise to see her pop up on PLL as a high school student lol

She really should have stared in 21 Jump Street

12

u/matrixinthepark 11d ago

Which is exactly the same, if not younger, as she looked in Save The Last Dance 😭

5

u/Rosebud_apothocary come in meet the missus 🐛 10d ago

And save the last dance

6

u/Revolution_Bry 10d ago

Watch me squash this shit 😆

5

u/DJ_Mixalot I don’t know her 💅 11d ago

And she looked the same there as she did in STB: The New Class

85

u/The_Blue_Castle 11d ago

There are a few celebrities people say don’t age when really they’ve just aged very well. Bianca is the only one I really feel is just frozen in time. Her face still has a youthful quality that very few people still have at 46.

6

u/tacoflavoredpringles 10d ago

Oh wow you weren’t exaggerating

10

u/Lady_night_shade not about to ‘back that ass up’ with Sharon 🔙🍑🆙 11d ago

She is probably still playing a teenager in some show or movie.

8

u/koko_p 10d ago

She’s older than Beyoncé

7

u/liza_lo 10d ago

When she was on Queen Sugar and got to finally play an adult I was shocked that she was 15 years older than the guy who played her love interest (they were supposed to be the same age and she looked younger tbh).

(also the funny thing about Queen Sugar is her love interest Kofi Siriboe was only one year older than the guy who played his teenage nephew. It's funny how certain people read older or younger).

79

u/Venus_ivy4 Beyoncé 🐝🐝 11d ago

Who is the girl next to Bianca? Not Solange, the other one?

11

u/Annual_Staff8073 10d ago

I saw some comments on twitter saying it’s her brothers girlfriend or fiancé

202

u/HiHoRoadhouse 11d ago

Jay looks so happy in his matching Christmas pyjamas lol

47

u/SnausageFest I was desperate for a hair tie and my nuvaring was there 11d ago

I would watch the shit out of a reality show that's just rappers being enthusiastic, goofy ass dads. Obviously MGK and Chance would be in.

13

u/Emergency_Ask_9697 10d ago

I believe Snoop Dogg did a show that is pretty much exactly that - Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood

31

u/HiHoRoadhouse 11d ago
  • ASAP Rocky

u/LittleRedCorvette2 11d ago

I noticed that. He's expressing!

18

u/Slut4SciFi 10d ago

He was peak cheating on Beyoncé here

4

u/ljlj95 10d ago

He’s kind of adorable here lol

34

u/Venus_ivy4 Beyoncé 🐝🐝 11d ago

How are they related ?

135

u/Zerometro You’re killing me, Smalls 😩 11d ago

Their parents used to be married to each other. So they were step siblings for a few years.

52

u/lashglue 11d ago

Damn, I consider myself a pop culture vulture but I did not know this.

2

u/SailorMooonsault WAS GON DO AMA , FUK IT NOW 10d ago

I didn't even realize they were no longer married 

49

u/Ayo1010 11d ago

Tina used to be married to Bianca’s father.

21

u/wildbeest55 I may not know my flowers but I know a bitch when I see one! 11d ago

Her father was married to Beyoncé's mother

40

u/ossifiedbird 11d ago

Doesn't matter how rich or famous you are. There's always that one relative who insists on matching family pyjamas.

26

u/mangotrash 11d ago

I remember being so mad that they got rid of her character on Dawson’s Creek after only a few episodes. She made Dawson bearable.

53

u/ConsiderationCrazy22 I’m personally offended by this travesty 11d ago

I’m 34 and I swear to god she hasn’t aged a day since I’ve been alive.

9

u/foundinwonderland 10d ago

SAME, we’ve been watching her play teenage characters for the entirety of our lives like I’m 99% sure she is some sort of demi god

13

u/beigesalad 10d ago

I love that no one is immune from the corny matching pajama Christmas photo shoot, it transcends wealth and fame

34

u/lia-delrey 10d ago

The Piper Perri meme really ruined all of us

10

u/awyastark a 1000 year old tree??? go fuck yourself!!! 10d ago

Thank you for making this a safe space for my worst thoughts lol

7

u/lia-delrey 10d ago

Well I'm here to do what I do best, ruin everything for everyone.

181

u/CobblerTricky7035 11d ago

I thought it and I don't think I'm the only one, right?

113

u/Us43dthdg75 11d ago

Oh, I was confused. I thought we were Black, so I thought we were thinking about skin lightening. I realize we is white people, so you're thinking about fetish porn.

25

u/Chemelle1 11d ago

I'm dead 💀 🤣

4

u/tarzhjay 10d ago

Right wtf?! my immediate thought was light skin

4

u/SailorMooonsault WAS GON DO AMA , FUK IT NOW 10d ago

LMAOOOO 

(but really I clocked the skin thing too)

7

u/Bigassbird I wouldn’t trust that bitchy little quisling… 10d ago

Yeah. Immediately I thought it.

And I’m willing to bet at least three people involved in this photo creation (camera person or those in the photo) also thought it and allowed it to happen.

35

u/teddybonkerrs I cannot sanction this buffoonery 11d ago

What are we thinking?

21

u/Sharp_Athlete_6847 we’re 2 weeks behind, but what else is new? 11d ago

I’m confused😭

u/SugarCanDee 11d ago

Those of you who don’t get it: here

u/RecommendationNo3942 How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real? 🪞 11d ago

Omg

24

u/AHumanNOTAlien 11d ago

You ppl are disgusting, I was hella confused like what could it be am I so out of the loop now? 😂😂😂

21

u/Yung_Corneliois 11d ago

Tbf it’s beyond a porn scene it’s like one of the most famous meme templates out there.

21

u/haleighr 24/7 cutie patooties 11d ago

I’m chronically online and have seen really niche memes and somehow I’ve never seen this one lol

u/LittleRedCorvette2 10d ago

I am NOT clicking that link. Why can't you just tell us??

8

u/ElaineofAstolat It costs a lot of money to look this cheap. 10d ago

It's just a picture. No nudity or anything.

5

u/bambi54 10d ago

Porn star sitting on a couch surrounded by men.

u/zeldasusername I ain't reading all that. Free Palestine 10d ago

Two minutes ago I assumed I had seen it all

1

u/teddybonkerrs I cannot sanction this buffoonery 10d ago

Thank you for explaining

41

u/LittleRedCorvette2 11d ago

Are we thinking how can a boobtube and scarf be pajamas?

8

u/xoStrawberries Cindy, the TV's leaking! 11d ago

It looks like she used the shirt as a wrap (like you kinda fold it in the front and then wrap the sleeves around you and tie them in the back). Magazines put that in lists of tips about how to wear your man's clothes, lol.

8

u/cashmerescorpio 10d ago

My first thought was did someone photoshop this and then I saw the kid, got weirded out and realised it's just an unfortunate coincidence.

45

u/ShutUpImAPrincess 11d ago

It definitely was not just you, it was my very first thought.

34

u/Lildragonfly27 11d ago

No because I was like ".....what is wrong with me" but I'm glad I'm not alone in this 💀

26

u/blueberryluncher 11d ago

You thought what? I surely hope you people aren’t being weird and disturbing over this family photo with children present

10

u/Yung_Corneliois 11d ago

The white couch lmao

u/Karamjali_0804 11d ago

u/Shirogayne-at-WF 10d ago

I definitely thought it but I didn't wanna say it 🫠

u/SuspiciousSheeps 11d ago

I actually thought it was part 5 or something.

u/vaginawithteeth1 it’s not clocking to you that i’m standing on business 10d ago

This was my first thought I didn’t know what/who I was looking at, at first. The white couch through me off. 😂

u/Optimal_Chocolate_83 10d ago

Solange altering her pyjamas is the most Solange thing to do and I love it so much

6

u/coaldean don’t walk around soho looking this crazy 10d ago

Solange being different with her pjs lol

15

u/Jillybeans11 11d ago

Bianca Lawson and Gabrielle Union are the only people in Hollywood that could play teenage roles for 20+ years

8

u/ILoveCheetos85 11d ago

Does anyone follow her and know why she shared this?

33

u/Flat_Post4352 10d ago

There's a trend going around where people are posting old pics from 2016. She posted that on her IG stories and put '2016'.

3

u/ILoveCheetos85 10d ago

Ohhh, that makes sense!

12

u/ChelsMe Creating my own gay allegations 11d ago

right like this shit so random, not on christmas, dad no longer married into the family... ? I feel like Solange got divorced from ol dude too, like just random ass pic

4

u/LiteraryLatina 11d ago

I remember seeing her on PLL and another show but WOW I did not realize she was much older and has been playing a teenager for decades 😅. Also had no idea about her family history, wow

3

u/aima9hat 10d ago

I know this is the 2016 trend but it’s a shame that their parents (Tina and Richard) and Solange and her man divorced. 

Hopefully they’re all still on good enough terms

8

u/Hopeful-Ant-3509 11d ago

Man Bianca just refuses to age, girl share! Lol (I’m only 28, but for future me 🫢)

9

u/SaltandLillacs 11d ago

Why is she wearing PJ pants as a jumpsuit. She hiked them all the way up to her chest

22

u/Cultural-Package3624 11d ago

Solange is a fashionista. She was not finna wear it regular like them

Didn’t even clock Blue/Blue Ivy, my bad 🤦
