Part of the formal regalia of a pharaoh was the double crown, crossed flails and a plaited beard. She complied to maintain her public authority.
Hatshepsut wore a false beard for religious and official ceremonies. It was not to pretend to be a man, it was official gab that the pharaoh had to wear for certain occasions.

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.
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.
yes she wore a false beard to represent her strength and power
WISDOM
Cleopatra is not known for wearing a fake beard, but if she for some reason would want one, all she would have to do was order it. The only female Egyptian ruler who was depicted wearing a fake beard was Hatsheput, as in her time the false beard that the pharaohs wore symbolized their divinity and authority. Cleopatra lived in a different time than Hatsheput.

No. there is no record of Cleopatra ever wearing a beard. The queen who is said to have worn a fake beard is Hatshepsut. At the time of her reign, the ruler had to be a male in order to be seen as a source of strength and authority. Thus Hatshepsut used the fake beard as a symbol of her authority. By the time of Cleopatra, the dynasties had changed and women were allowed to rule along with a male co-ruler.

The Egyptian King who wore a false beard was not a man. Her name was Hatsheput. She became king because her husband Thutmose the 2nd had died. Her nephew was suppose to be the new king but he was to young to be Pharaoh. She ruled for 20 years.
