Amen! Beyoncé has lastly introduced she will probably be hitting the street on her “Cowboy Carter” tour, the primary since releasing the album of the identical title final March.
The multihyphenated entrepreneur has been preserving 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 obtainable 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 appears from metropolis to metropolis and nation to nation.
So only for enjoyable — see what we did there? — right here’s just a few appears from collections proven in 2024 after “Cowboy Carter”’s launch that would pair properly with the general theme of every full-length observe. (Author’s word: Sure, I do know the prospect of an outfit change for every track is very unlikely, however simply saddle up and benefit from the journey.)
“Blackbiird”
Beginning off with “Blackbiird” — we’re skipping “Ameriican Requiem” for causes that may turn into mentioned later — we envision a literal tackle the title within the type of feathers and wings or a figurative displaying of a planted seed that’s growing into grass and florals. Beyoncé’s current 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 track’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.
Reyna Roberts, Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer and Tiera Kennedy are featured on “Blackbiird” on Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” album.
“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 Baby days? She will additionally strut the stage in these resort and spring 2025 appears, 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 track offers itself to signify power, protection and reflection — and so do these appears.
“Texas Maintain ‘Em”
One of many first singles launched from “Cowboy Carter” — and the primary up-tempo track 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 — presumably 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 little bit little bit of a protector with a complete lot of intercourse attraction, the style for this track lends to a straightforward, chill silhouette. Maybe an oversize, sleeveless blazer costume or a strapless swimsuit will give the crooner the flexibility to seduce whereas additionally preserving you in your toes as a result of at any second she will be able to — and can (bear 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 girl…don’t steal my man.” For the long-lasting nation track’s remake, a grown-up model of a “Freak ‘Em Gown” will inform any girl — Jolene, Becky, Karen or the such — with out phrases that you simply don’t need these issues, ma’am. And customizing a number of the appears in a shade of auburn might give nod to the unique songstress’ model.
“Daughter”
One in every of — if not — probably the most dramatic tracks on the album should inform as a lot of a sartorial story because the track does. Envision her belting out “Caro Mio Ben” with the notorious Beyoncé followers blaring 360 levels round no matter formed stage her inventive crew has concocted with a 5-foot-or-longer practice. 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 suits the invoice for the nation musician’s options on “Spaghettii” and “Candy Honey Buckiin.”
“Alliigator Tears”
Give her a purpose? 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 track with luxe fur or fake fur coats? Pair them along with her signature leotard or denim and cowboy boots, however don’t neglect 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 observe. 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 might simply pull off these appears to mix in with Queen Bey or — presumably — a choir for the observe’s ending.
“II Most Wished”
“II Most Wished” is a reminder that generally our soulmates come within the type of friendship and, for that purpose, the bridal realm is the one method to go. This fan favourite has Beyoncé fan, costume blowing via the wind, prime 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 convey out classic Home of Deréon. “Denim on denim, on denim, on denim” went down the runways, providing ample selections 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 observe is paying homage to Turner, Beyoncé’s well-documented musical idol, and nobody might get the job completed fairly like Turner’s costumer Bob Mackie. (However for the sake of preserving on the current assortment bandwagon, right here’s just a few which have a Mackie really feel.)
“Riiverdance”
Goodbye, nation album. Good day, Beyoncé album. The following 4 tracks on “Cowboy Carter” mix slightly little bit of nation with loads of tradition. First, with “Riiverdance” using banjo and bass. This part of the album tosses out these stunning robes and dives into dance-worthy appears. With some customization, even Ahluwalia’s and D’iyanu’s floor-length clothes would make ideally suited jumpsuits for this observe.
“II Arms II Heaven”
Persevering with on the tradition practice, “II Arms 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 observe, Beyoncé makes use of her fingernails as percussion made well-liked by the nation crooner. (The method will also be heard within the background of “Riiverdance” and all through “II Arms II Heaven.”) The track combines that with violin and 808s. The scholar turns into the trainer in these “Tyrant”-esque appears.
“Candy Honey Buckiin”
The Texas diva opens up the final full observe 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 observe, “Ameriican Requiem,” an outdated, tattered costume that has clearly seen higher days with rips, tears and a few mud stains as well. And by the top of the present, that costume — in addition to the notions of what nation music seems like and who can signify 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 now we have it. “Amen!”
