Yes, Hatshepsut, an ancient Egyptian pharaoh, is depicted wearing a fake beard in some of her statues and reliefs. The beard was a symbol of pharaonic power and authority traditionally worn by male rulers. Hatshepsut adopted this iconography to legitimize her rule and present herself as a legitimate pharaoh.
After tutmoses 11 died, tutmoses 111 was too young to rule. She put on the fake beard and ruled with all his stricken.

Hatshepsut
I assume she was, because she was pharaoh. (don't correct me, she wore a fake beard.)
Queen Hatshepsut
After tutmoses 11 died, tutmoses 111 was too young to rule. She put on the fake beard and ruled as a man and she was good at that. Since Thutmose III was too young to assume the throne unaided, Hatshepsut served as his regent. Initially, Hatshepsut bore this role traditionally until, for reasons that are unclear, she claimed the role of pharaoh. Technically, Hatshepsut did not 'usurp' the crown, as Thutmose the III was never deposed and was considered co-ruler throughout her life, but it is clear that Hatshepsut was the principal ruler in power. He was her nephew.
