Tina Knowles Goes Sheer in Stella McCartney Dress for Her ‘Matriarch, a Memoir’ Book Launch in New York City

Tina Knowles was joined by a string of supporters, high-profile stars and more for the launch of her book “Matriarch, a Memoir” on Tuesday in New York City. The event was hosted by Lorraine Schwartz and featured such celebrities as Katie Holmes, among others.

For the special occasion, Knowles opted for her own spin on sheer dressing with sleek little black dress inspiration. The mother of venerated artist and Grammy Award-winner Beyoncé Knowles-Carter styled a look courtesy of Stella McCartney‘s spring 2025 collection.

The long-sleeve compact-knit dress featured a fitted silhouette and midi length. The look added a touch of one of the red carpet’s most ubiquitous trends. On the long sleeves of the look, sheer fabric is juxtaposed with the knit base fabric of Knowles’ look.

Along with the formfitting knit dress, Knowles styled a pair of black heels to coordinate with her attire. As for accessories, Knowles wore statement jewelry pieces, including a long pendant necklace and chandelier earrings in silver to complete her look.

While posing for photos at the New York City book launch event, Knowles was joined by Holmes. The actress and producer opted for springtime attire with her look at the event. The “Dawson’s Creek” alum wore a white top with thin straps and a pair of green, high-waisted capri trousers.

Schwartz, who hosted the event on Knowles’ behalf, also stepped in for a few photos, wearing an ornately designed flowing silk jacket. The event marked the release of Knowles’ memoir, which was officially published on Tuesday.

“Matriarch, a Memoir” chronicles Knowles’ life from her time growing up in Galveston, Texas, to raising her daughters Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Solange Knowles and everything in between.
