The award-winning singer took to her Twitter to post a picture of herself alongside Beyonce and paid tribute to the birthday girl.

She captioned the image: "Happy Birthday to the beautiful Queen Bey! Lots of love and respect always, Mariah."

Those sentinments were echoed by Olympic gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles, who took to social media to call for a public holiday in honour of the 'Crazy in Love' hitmaker.

The 19-year-old athlete wrote: "Beyonce's birthday should be a worldwide holiday."

Elsewhere, 'Dancing With The Stars' contestant Laurie Hernandez, 16, also praised the former Destiny's Child singer.

She wrote: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN @Beyonce. (sic)"

Meanwhile, the American stand-up comedian Chelsea Peretti paid a simple tribute to the chart-topping beauty, writing: "i love you @Beyonce (sic)"

The birthday tributes did not end there, though, with Kim Kardashian West singing happy birthday to her on Snapchat.

The 'Keeping Up With the Kardashians' star was, in fact, one of the first stars to wish the R&B superstar well on her birthday.

To mark her big day, the birthday girl and her husband Jay Z - whose real name is Shawn Carter - attended the Made in America festival.

Before performing at the event, Chance the Rapper told the crowd: "Auntie it's your birthday, happy birthday 'Yonce. (sic)"

The couple were seated at the front of the event, and Beyonce was wished well by a host of big-name attendees, including Coldplay, Kelly Rowland, La La Anthony and Carmelo Anthony.

Coldplay's Chris Martin - who Beyonce teamed up with on 'Hymn for the Weekend' - told the crowd: "We want to say happy birthday to Mrs. Carter who is out here somewhere. Can you believe she is 107 years old? Happy birthday Bey."
