Beyoncé Just Nailed the Cowgirl Look in Assless Chaps - InStyle

Beyoncé has officially released her country album Cowboy Carter to the world — and it's filled with banjo ditties, shout-outs to Texas, horse-themed lines and guest appearances from country queens Dolly Parton and Miley Cyrus. (Oh yeah, and maybe Taylor Swift, too?)

This morning, Beyoncé posted a carousel of images to Instagram in honor of her new album. The post has no caption, but honestly, these snaps speak for themselves: Queen Bey's country album is here and with it, a whole new wardrobe for the singer. We're talking denim, cowboy hats, and, of course, assless chaps.

In two of the pictures, Beyoncé wears an all-American red, white, and blue outfit with a long-sleeved leather leotard and a pair of matching leather chaps by Sportmax. To complete the look, she wears a "Cowboy Carter" sash over her shoulder and a beige cowboy hat.

In another picture, Beyoncé once again dons a daring pair of chaps — this time, she opts for embroidered, wide-legged denim chaps from Louis Vuitton's 2024 menswear collection. Nailing the casual country look, she pairs the chaps with a white form-fitting cropped tank top and a bright white cowboy hat. The looks were styled by Shioni Turni, who helped create the singer's breathtaking Renaissance tour looks.

It's not the first time Bey has made the case for bringing back chaps. In 2021, she took part in Adidas's Ivy Park's Rodeo campaign, donning denim chaps with a white crop top.

You may have thought that we had collectively decided to leave chaps behind — probably on a character played by Clint Eastwood somewhere in Texas circa 1910. But Beyoncé has made the case for a modern-day chaps revival.

In fact, chaps have already begun cropping up all over the runways as designers embrace Western influences, with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Stella McCartney, and Casablanca all repping the Western look in their collections this year. Julia Fox, ever one for a daring trend, stepped out in a pair of grey cargo chaps back in 2022. Katy Perry also made headlines with her red latex chaps on SNL that year. If baring some upper thigh is a little too risque for you, several denim collections — Levi's, Agolde, Abercrombie — this year feature jeans featuring denim panels, giving the illusion of chaps. Could this be the country-inspired look of the summer?
