• “Blackbiird”

    Starting off with “Blackbiird” — we’re skipping “Ameriican Requiem” for reasons that will become discussed later — we envision a literal take on the title in the form of feathers and wings or a figurative showing of a planted seed that’s developing into grass and florals. Beyoncé’s recent dive into country has had a growing effect on current Black country artists, many of whom are featured on “Cowboy Carter.” In the event the song’s featured artists — Tanner Addell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts and Brittney Spencer — pop out in one or more of the cities, we’ve selected some threads for them as well.

    Since “16 Carriages” reflects on the singer’s career, why not take a trip down memory lane with reworked designs from the singer’s Destiny’s Child days? She can also strut the stage in these resort and spring 2025 looks, customizing them in American flag blue to nod to the album’s theme.

  • “Texas Hold ‘Em”

    One of the first singles released from “Cowboy Carter” — and the first up-tempo song on the album — went viral on social media as users created several line dances to the chorus. Pair these denim shorts with a cowboy hat, boots and vintage T-shirts — possibly switching between ones baring faces of Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton and Black country artists from years past — for a performance that could easily transition into a country take on “Crazy in Love.” Pair any of the shorts with Mains’ patriotic jacket with a customized “B” for effect.

  • “Bodyguard”

    Image Credit: Danielle Gilliard

    A little bit of a protector with a whole lot of sex appeal, the fashion for this song lends to an easy, chill silhouette. Perhaps an oversize, sleeveless blazer dress or a strapless suit will give the crooner the ability to seduce while also keeping you on your toes because at any moment she can — and will (remember the Atlanta “On the Run 2” tour stop) — “turn around and John Wayne that ass.” Then there’s one standout that pays homage to the 1992 film starring Whitney Houston, can you guess which?

    Image Credit: Danielle Gilliard

    Parton said it herself: Beyoncé isn’t “gonna beg some other woman…don’t steal my man.” For the iconic country song’s remake, a grown-up version of a “Freak ‘Em Dress” will tell any woman — Jolene, Becky, Karen or the such — without words that you don’t want these problems, ma’am. And customizing some of the looks in a shade of auburn could give nod to the original songstress’ version.
