Giddy Up, Glam Squad! Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour Just Lassoed Our Hearts (and Wardrobes!)
Yee-haw and ya-ya indeed! Last night, the Queen officially rode into her highly anticipated Cowboy Carter tour at LA’s SoFi Stadium, and if your social media feeds are anything like ours, you’re still picking your jaw up off the floor! This 32-stop spectacular, blazing a trail across the US and Europe as Act II of her groundbreaking three-part musical journey (following the iconic Renaissance), is already legendary.
But hold up, partners, because this ain’t just about the music (though, let’s be real, that was pure fire with “American Requiem” kicking things off, plus “Ya-Ya,” “Levii’s Jeans,” and those timeless hits like “Crazy In Love” and “Formation”!). We even got adorable cameos from Princesses Rumi and Blue Ivy as backup dancers! But the real headline for us fashion fanatics? The unbelievable custom couture Beyoncé wrangled for the stage, all masterfully styled by the visionary Shiona Turini. Because a Bey show without jaw-dropping, bespoke glamour? Honey, that’s like a rodeo without a bull!
Beyoncé teamed up with a galaxy of top-tier fashion houses, each putting their signature spin on her fresh country-western aesthetic, and the results are nothing short of iconic. For her grand entrance, Mugler delivered a white-hot fringed bodysuit, complete with show-stopping chaps and a classic wide-brimmed cowboy hat. The ultimate power move? A dazzling diamond bolo tie adding that extra touch of Bey sparkle.
As the night galloped on, the rodeo chic continued its glorious reign. Burberry took the bodysuit-and-chaps combo and gave it a high-fashion twist with sequined plaid in their signature print – yeehaw, but make it Burberry. Roberto Cavalli, never one to shy away from a statement, subverted denim with a mind-blowing denim-printed catsuit, because Queen B loves a catsuit, y’all! Of course, it came complete with a massive gold belt buckle and fringed sleeves that screamed “look at me!”
Moschino served up a playful and vibrant take on the classic red and white bandana print, reimagining it as a Western shirt-printed catsuit. Trust us, only Beyoncé could make a bandana print look this high-fashion. And for “Crazy In Love,” she even gave a dazzling 2025 upgrade to her iconic white tank and denim cut-offs, bedazzling the tank and pairing it with fringed gloves and furry boots that were equal parts cozy and couture. But the grand finale? Prepare yourselves. Beyoncé closed the show in a custom LED dress by Anrealage, created in collaboration with MPLUSPLUS, that projected a mesmerizing array of images, from shimmering florals to a dazzling stars-and-stripes pattern that gave a nod to the American flag in the most Beyoncé way possible.
With vocals that prove the mic is ON, choreography that slays, and theatrical fashions that are in a league of their own, Beyoncé remains the ultimate pop supernova. Now the burning question on every fashion lover’s mind: Does she have a whole stable of new, custom designs waiting in the wings to debut throughout the rest of the tour? We shall see, but one thing’s for sure: buckle up your best belt buckle and get ready for a wild and stylish ride! This is pure pop royalty, served with a side of serious Southern charm.
