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.
After tutmoses 11 died, tutmoses 111 was too young to rule. She put on the fake beard and ruled with all his stricken.
Well, isn't that just a happy little question? Hatshepsut wore a beard in ancient Egypt to symbolize her pharaoh-like power and authority. It was a way for her to present herself as a strong and capable ruler during a time when women were not typically seen in such leadership roles. Just like adding a touch of titanium white to your painting, Hatshepsut's beard was a unique and bold choice that helped her leave a lasting impression in history.
Pharaohs did not each have an individual "symbol", but they had hieroglyphs that spelled out all their names and titles.In the case of the queen we called "Hatshepsut", her name was written with signs spelling out the words ht.shpswt, meaning "foremost of noble women".

Hatshepsut
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.

I assume she was, because she was pharaoh. (don't correct me, she wore a fake beard.)
