Cowboy-inspired outfits have long been associated with the American West, but recently have become a fashion trend. One person who has fully embraced the cowboy look is none other than Beyoncé.
March 29th, 2024 marked a momentous occasion for Beyoncé’s dedicated fan base, affectionately known as the Beehive (myself included). It was the day when Beyoncé unveiled the second installment of her Renaissance project. This epic release comes in the form of a sprawling 27-track album titled ‘Cowboy Carter.’
Beyoncé initially teased this project during the 2024 Super Bowl, elaborating further in a detailed Instagram post. In her reflection, she revealed that crafting this album spanned over five years. She shared that the journey began from a sense of displacement, prompting her to embark on an immersive exploration of country music’s rich history and roots.
While Bey doesn’t explicitly label “Cowboy Carter” as a country album, its essence undeniably exudes country flair. Just by glancing at the album cover and her recent fashion statement, it’s evident that the mother-of-three is fully into the cowgirl aesthetic. She has showcased a range of stylish cowboy-inspired outfits that caught us like a spell even more than the eighth studio album.
The question of whether “Cowboy Carter” truly fits within the country music genre remains open to interpretation. However, one thing is certain: its influence on fashion and culture is bound to be significant. Get ready for a surge in cowboy boots and Western-style attire as this album makes its mark on the world. And if you want to get in on the trend, we’ve put together a list of 8 super stylish cowboy looks inspired by Beyoncé that you can add to your wardrobe right now.
