Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams were all in attendance at the grand opening gala of Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta.

Kelly, 38, and Michelle, 40, were much more chummy, posing together on the red carpet and were even seen hugging and smiling with one another, according to People.

Although she didn’t walk the red carpet with the rest of the night’s guests, Beyoncé did make a surprise appearance at the celebration.

Images taken from inside the event — which was also attended by Oprah Winfrey, Ava DuVernay, Halle Berry, and Viola Davis — show the Grammy-award winning singer posing with fellow guests.

Beyoncé’s mother Tina Lawson was also at the gala, walking the red carpet alongside her husband Richard Lawson.

Honoring producer Tyler, the Crazy In Love hitmaker wrote on Instagram: ‘Happy Sunday. Congratulations to Tyler Perry on the opening of his studios. I could feel our ancestors’ presence.

‘Surrounded by my heroes, I watched Denzel, Queen Oprah, Spike, Whoopi, Sir Poitier, Will, Halle , Dame Cicely and our angels John Singleton and Diahann Carroll honored. The Armand de Brignac crashed against each soundstage as fireworks lit up the sky.’

‘Generations of blood, sweat and tears, success, excellence and brilliance. It makes me so proud, so full, I could not stop crying. Thank you my Virgo brother for so much love and passion put into every detail. My prayer today is that you will take it all in. You inspire me to dream even bigger.’

The family outing took place days after Beyoncé‘s father Mathew Knowles revealed he had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

In a pre-taped interview for Good Morning America, which aired on Wednesday, Matthew, 67, explained that he was first diagnosed over the summer after noticing a recurring dot of blood on his shirt, and then again on his bedsheets.

‘I immediately went to my doctor,’ said Knowles, who got a mammogram, an ultrasound and a needle biopsy before health officials made the official diagnosis. “It was very clear that I had breast cancer.’

‘I’m doing really good,’ said Knowles, who noted that he had surgery to remove the breast in July. “I’m doing all the steps for recovery.”

In an op-ed, Knowles added that he is ‘going to get the second breast removed in January because I want to do anything I can to reduce the risk.’
