The multihyphenated entrepreneur has been protecting busy since her 2023 “Renaissance” tour, releasing her final Ivy Park collaboration with Adidas on Oct. 12, 2023; two fragrances, Cé Noir in November 2023 and Cé Lumière in November 2024; a live performance documentary movie, which was accessible solely in theaters, launched on Dec. 1, 2023; her hair care line, Cécred, on Feb. 20; an award-winning whiskey model SirDavis on Sept. 4, and a marketing campaign with denim model Levi’s, which launched on Sept. 29.
The ”Alien Famous person” singer appeared to designs from Balmain, David Koma, Brandon Blackwood, Telfar, Mugler and extra throughout her “Renaissance” tour, usually switching up seems to be from metropolis to metropolis and nation to nation.
So only for enjoyable — see what we did there? — right here’s just a few seems to be from collections proven in 2024 after “Cowboy Carter”’s launch that would pair properly with the general theme of every full-length monitor. (Author’s notice: Sure, I do know the possibility of an outfit change for every music is extremely unlikely, however simply saddle up and benefit from the journey.)
“Blackbiird”
Beginning off with “Blackbiird” — we’re skipping “Ameriican Requiem” for causes that may develop into mentioned later — we envision a literal tackle the title within the type of feathers and wings or a figurative exhibiting of a planted seed that’s growing into grass and florals. Beyoncé’s latest dive into nation has had a rising impact on present Black nation artists, a lot of whom are featured on “Cowboy Carter.” Within the occasion the music’s featured artists — Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts and Brittney Spencer — pop up in a number of of the cities, we’ve chosen some threads for them as properly.

“16 Carriages”
Since “16 Carriages” displays on the singer’s profession, why not make a journey down reminiscence lane with reworked designs from the singer’s Future’s Youngster days? She will be able to additionally strut the stage in these resort and spring 2025 seems to be, customizing them in American flag blue to nod to the album’s theme.
“Protector”
Persevering with from the “Renaissance” period’s metallic silver theme, this music provides itself to symbolize power, protection and reflection — and so do these seems to be.
“Texas Maintain ‘Em”
One of many first singles launched from “Cowboy Carter” — and the primary up-tempo music on the album — went viral on social media as customers created a number of line dances to the refrain. Pair these denim shorts with a cowboy hat, boots and classic T-shirts — probably switching between ones baring faces of Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Black nation artists from years previous — for a efficiency that would simply transition into a rustic tackle “Loopy in Love.” Pair any of the shorts with Mains’ patriotic jacket with a personalized “B” for impact.
“Bodyguard”
A bit of little bit of a protector with a complete lot of intercourse attraction, the style for this music lends to a straightforward, chill silhouette. Maybe an oversize, sleeveless blazer costume or a strapless go well with will give the crooner the power to seduce whereas additionally protecting you in your toes as a result of at any second she will — and can (keep in mind the Atlanta “On the Run 2” tour cease) — “flip round and John Wayne that ass.” Then there’s one standout that pays homage to the 1992 movie starring Whitney Houston, are you able to guess which?
“Jolene”
Parton stated it herself: Beyoncé isn’t “gonna beg another lady…don’t steal my man.” For the enduring nation music’s remake, a grown-up model of a “Freak ‘Em Gown” will inform any lady — Jolene, Becky, Karen or the such — with out phrases that you just don’t need these issues, ma’am. And customizing among the seems to be in a shade of auburn may give nod to the unique songstress’ model.
“Daughter”
Certainly one of — if not — probably the most dramatic tracks on the album should inform as a lot of a sartorial story because the music does. Envision her belting out “Caro Mio Ben” with the notorious Beyoncé followers blaring 360 levels round no matter formed stage her artistic workforce has concocted with a 5-foot-or-longer prepare. Drah-ma!
“Spaghettii”
Be able to put in your pondering caps. Every of those will want some customization to suit a denim-heavy, chap-wearing, cowboy-approved look — save for Fiorucci’s floor-sweeping denim jacket.

Featured artist and CMA nominee Shaboozey’s potential wardrobe ought to lean towards easy but trendy: a protracted denim jacket and denims styled both shirtless or with a mesh shirt. Edgy simplicity matches the invoice for the nation musician’s options on “Spaghettii” and “Candy Honey Buckiin.”
“Alliigator Tears”
Give her a objective? Met. Transfer the goalpost after? Typical. Say she’s too nation in a single breath and never nation sufficient in one other? Wonderful. Cry these alligator — or crocodile — tears and Beyoncé will “adore” all of them. Why not play into the nonchalant, unbothered tone of the music with luxe fur or fake fur coats? Pair them together with her signature leotard or denim and cowboy boots, however don’t overlook the opera-length cigarette holder for added impact.
“Only for Enjoyable”
Right here’s to hoping Beyoncé goes full-on, all-white menswear for this monitor. Gender-fluid fits walked most of the runways, giving the singer ample to select from — or a female spin seen from JordanLuca.

Like Shaboozey, simplicity is essential for “X Issue” alum Willie Jones. The nation singer may simply pull off these seems to be to mix in with Queen Bey or — probably — a choir for the monitor’s ending.
“II Most Needed”
“II Most Needed” is a reminder that generally our soulmates come within the type of friendship and, for that motive, the bridal realm is the one option to go. This fan favourite has Beyoncé fan, costume blowing by way of the wind, high down, “flying down the 405” — actually — written throughout it.

“Levii’s Denims”
It’s proper there in entrance of you, however perhaps slightly too on the nostril? Customized Levi’s shorts and jumpsuits or the entrepreneur can go into the vault and produce out classic Home of Deréon. “Denim on denim, on denim, on denim” went down the runways, providing ample decisions for the tour.

“Ya Ya”
“Ya Ya” celebrates the Chitlin’ Circuit and the Black artists — Tina Turner, Aretha Franklin, The Jackson 5 to call just a few — who carried out at venues in a segregated America. This genre-bending monitor is harking back to Turner, Beyoncé’s well-documented musical idol, and nobody may get the job carried out fairly like Turner’s costumer Bob Mackie. (However for the sake of protecting on the latest assortment bandwagon, right here’s just a few which have a Mackie really feel.)
“Riiverdance”
Goodbye, nation album. Hi there, Beyoncé album. The subsequent 4 tracks on “Cowboy Carter” mix slightly little bit of nation with a number of tradition. First, with “Riiverdance” using banjo and bass. This part of the album tosses out these lovely robes and dives into dance-worthy seems to be. With some customization, even Ahluwalia’s and D’iyanu’s floor-length clothes would make best jumpsuits for this monitor.
“II Fingers II Heaven”
Persevering with on the tradition prepare, “II Fingers II Heaven” brings collectively bass with R&B and a lightweight drum snare. These picks give the queen the liberty to maneuver whereas “dancin’ within the moonlight” for every tour cease.
“Tyrant”
As Parton brings on this monitor, Beyoncé makes use of her fingernails as percussion made common by the nation crooner. (The method can be heard within the background of “Riiverdance” and all through “II Fingers II Heaven.”) The music combines that with violin and 808s. The scholar turns into the instructor in these “Tyrant”-esque seems to be.
“Candy Honey Buckiin”
The Texas diva opens up the final full monitor of the album sampling nation turned pop star Patsy Cline’s “I Fall to Items.” The crooner’s easy mixing of nation, rap and R&B over a Jersey membership beat lends itself to outfits match for a dance break. We’ve come a good distance on this tough journey, thanks for saddling up!
“Ameriican Requiem” and “Amen”
We’ve come full circle. For the album’s first monitor, “Ameriican Requiem,” an outdated, tattered costume that has clearly seen higher days with rips, tears and a few mud stains in addition. And by the top of the present, that costume — in addition to the notions of what nation music appears like and who can symbolize the style — has been course-corrected or as Beyoncé sings “them outdated concepts are buried right here” and the costume is anew. Lovely and flowing in all its glory. And there we have now it. “Amen!”
