Stella McCartney launched a limited-edition T-shirt inspired by a custom look worn by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter during the final London performance of her “Cowboy Carter Tour” on June 16. The T-shirt features two blackbird embellishments on the front, referencing Knowles-Carter’s rendition of “Blackbird” — a song originally written and performed by Paul McCartney of The Beatles in 1968.
Knowles-Carter wore a custom iteration of the shirt along with custom fringe chaps to perform the song in London.

Stella McCartney will donate 30 percent of net sales from the sale of the Blackbird T-shirt made via her official website to the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund — an organization set up by The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country.
On June 16, Knowles-Carter took to Instagram and shared photos featuring the singer wearing the “Blackbird” T-shirt. “Thank you, Sir Paul McCartney, for writing one of the best songs ever made,” the caption to her carousel post began. “Every time I sing it I feel so honored. And it is a full circle moment to wear your beautiful daughter’s design,” she said.
“Thank you, London, for creating unforgettable memories for me and my family. Holla at ‘ya when I come on tour again!”
