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.
