Cleopatra dressed in men's clothes and wore a false beard because Pharaohs were believed to be the god Horus in human form. And Horus was a man, so basically, if she didn't she couldn't become Pharaoh.

Why did the egyptians put fake beards on the pharaohs?

The reason pharaohs of Ancient Egypt ( usually a man ) would wear a false beard is because the gods of Ancient Egypt, for example, Ra, the first king of the gods, Osiris the second king of the gods and Horus the third king of the gods, including all male gods wore a false beard. The pharaohs were considered a living walking god. So they wore a false beard like the gods.
