* ADayInTheLimelight: "Bootylicious" was the first time that Kelly took lead vocals in a song.



* AmazonBrigade: In the "Independent Women" video.



* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle, respectively, though Kelly and Michelle switch back and forth.

to:

* BattleStrip: Some of the guys for the dance-off in "Lose My Breath" but not the girls.
* BikerBabe: The girls at the end of the "Independent Women" video.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead: Beyoncé, Kelly, and Michelle, respectively, though Kelly and Michelle switch back and forth. The straightest example is the "Bootylicious" video where Kelly was the redhead and Michelle the brunette (with Beyonce remaining the blonde).


Added DiffLines:

* BrokenAesop: Parodied at the end of the "Survivor" video. The girls spend the entire video on a deserted island adjusting to the new environment and eventually commanding the locals to become queens...only to run for an escape helicopter the second they see it.


Added DiffLines:

* CostumePorn: Most of their videos but special mention goes to "Bootylicious" and "Independent Women" (along with CGI SceneryPorn)
* CreatorBacklash: Kelly Rowland dislikes "Bootylicious" because she has heard it too many times.


Added DiffLines:

* DancingIsSeriousBusiness: The "Lose My Breath" video.
* DarkSkinnedBlonde: Beyonce naturally.
* DarkSkinnedRedhead: Kelly occasionally.


Added DiffLines:

* HotterAndSexier: "Bootylicious" was a lot more provocative than their previous songs and attracted some controversy about it.


Added DiffLines:

* OneSteveLimit: There is of course a famous actress called Michelle Williams who is probably who the majority of people will think of first if the name is mentioned in casual conversation. May be HilariousInHindsight since for Destiny's Child Michelle is actually only her middle name.


Added DiffLines:

* {{Portmanteau}}: "Bootylicious" of "booty" and "delicious". Although the term had been used before, the popularity of the song caused it to be added to the dictionary.
* ThePsychoRangers: The "Lose My Breath" video features a confrontation between "in-fashion" Destiny's Child and "street" Destiny's Child. Then they are joined by another set, the "sultries".
* TheRemake: One of the few bands/artists that got impersonated twice on MTV's ''{{Becoming}}''. The first set of fans remade "Say My Name" (though with three girls instead of four) and the second remade "Bootylicious".


Added DiffLines:

* YoGoGirl: "Independent Women".
