Beyoncé set social media ablaze this Halloween season, paying homage to the legendary duo of Prince and Apollonia with a daring costume.
The superstar took to Instagram to unveil her second look of the spooky season, following a previous ensemble where she transformed into the iconic Betty Davis.
In her latest post, Beyoncé embraced her inner Apollonia, showcasing a captivating look that featured a plunging black lace bustier paired with an open tuxedo jacket.

Her homage to Apollonia, the late Purple Rain hitmaker Prince’s protégée and love interest, was both sultry and stylish.
Not stopping at just Apollonia, Beyoncé also presented her interpretation of Prince, donning a dramatic purple coat that perfectly mirrored the legendary singer’s flair.
Underneath, she wore a white frilly shirt that added to the aesthetic, complemented by black lace underwear. To complete the look, she held a matching purple guitar, making the tribute even more authentic.

Another close-up shot revealed her sensational figure in a low-cut bodysuit, which she paired with striking thigh-high purple boots.

This connection pays tribute to the music icons and also highlights the enduring impact of their legacy on contemporary artists like Beyoncé.
It comes just after Beyoncé’s transformation into a busty Betty Davis, where she confidently wore a braless plunging zebra print leotard, showcasing her ability to embrace various facets of femininity through her Halloween costumes.
With each look, she continues to inspire fans, demonstrating that Halloween is not just about dressing up; it’s about celebrating the influence of cultural icons.
