Tina Knowles (born Célestine Ann Beyince on January 4, 1954) is an American fashion designer for her House of Deréon brand. She is of Louisiana Creole heritage.

Perhaps best known as the mother of singer Beyoncé Knowles,and Solange Knowles.She served as the designer of costumes for her daughter's musical group, Destiny's Child. During the early days of her daughter's career when money was limited, she created outfits that the members wore on-stage and to events. They caught people's attention since they were one-of-a-kind garments. As the group grew more successful and had more access to designer fashions, they relied less on Knowles's work.

Inspired by the legacy of Knowles's mother, seamstress Agnéz Deréon, she and her daughter, Beyoncé, decided to create their own label, House of Deréon. The clothing line draws its influences from today's hip hop scene as well as the 1970s fashions Knowles grew up with and the 1940s designs that she saw her mother create.

Additionally, Knowles is the wife of Mathew Knowles, who has managed Beyoncé's career as well as that of Destiny's Child. With her husband, she has another daughter, singer/actress Solange Knowles, who has been featured in print adverts for House of Deréon. She has a younger brother and is the aunt to Angela Beyincé who works as Beyoncé's assistant. Knowles operates her own beauty salon called Headliners Hair Salon located in Houston, Texas.

Agnéz, Tina and Beyoncé are all featured on the House of Deréon website. Tina and Beyoncé have modelled their fashions in advertising and have also appeared together in an ad for the "Got Milk?" campaign. [ [http://www.starsareblind.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/09/beyonce-gotmilk-ad.jpgGot Milk Advert] ] additionally Knowles has a new line that premiered on the Home Shopping Network (HSN) called "Miss Tina" by Tina Knowles.

On the official "Miss Tina" MySpace page it states that Tina's mother's name was Agnéz Dereon Beyincé.
