SUPERSTAR Beyoncé has won her first Emmy — to go with her record haul of 35 Grammy awards.
The US singer, 43, landed the prestigious TV award for Beyoncé Bowl, her Christmas Day NFL half-time show streamed by Netflix.

She will pick up the gong with her stylist, Shiona Turini, in Los Angeles on September 14.
The pair designed costumes for the performance at the NRG stadium in Beyoncé’s home city of Houston, Texas.
The broadcast, during a game between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens, drew a peak audience of 27million.
Beyoncé performed hits from her No1 album Cowboy Carter and was joined by singers Shaboozey and Post Malone, plus her daughter Blue Ivy Carter.
Beyoncé’s elusive Emmy comes after multiple nominations.
And she could land a second as she is nominated for outstanding directing for a variety special, with that winner announced later.
In that category she is up against her husband Jay Z, 55, who was nominated for his involvement in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show.
Beyoncé has won 30 MTV Awards for her music.
As an actor, she was surprisingly overlooked for a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance in Dreamgirls.
As well as dressing Beyoncé, Shiona decked out all musicians and dancers in Houston, and worked with designers including Dolce & Gabbana.

Shiona said: “We dressed 504 people. Our tailors who worked tirelessly, the assistants, the production assistants, everyone.
“On the tour, I don’t know if we went into it knowing that there would be so many wardrobe changes but that’s what happened.
“So we were working every single day to get the next show ready. I think for Bey, she had almost 150 costumes, and so with those changes, you have to have co-ordinating dancer costumes.”
Shiona added: “It’s very, very collaborative, but Bey is pretty direct and knows exactly how she wants to look on a day.”
