Beyoncé put a biker spin on the cowboy core trend in two posts shared to Instagram on Monday. The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer shared a selection of photos and a short video clip posing with Japanese trucks. Beyoncé has been traveling in the country with her husband, Jay-Z, since last week.

Beyoncé’s full leather look included a belted Balmain blazer featuring bold shoulders and fringe, as well as baggy wide-leg trousers by Stella McCartney. She accessorized with patent leather boots, completing her look with oversize sunnies, gold hoops and patent leather Sonora boots.

Stylist Shiona Turini dressed Beyoncé for the occasion. Turini, who also works as a costume designer, curated the singer’s wardrobe for her “Renaissance” tour in 2023.

Hairdresser Neal Farinah styled Beyoncé’s platinum blond tresses straightened, while makeup artist Rokael Lizama gave the singer black eyeliner and a pink-nude lip.

Last week, Beyoncé blended Western dressing with sleek suiting while in Japan. The superstar songstress shared a new post to Instagram, wearing a khaki Ferragamo suit and trenchcoat from the label’s spring 2023 line. Beyoncé added on square-toe boots, a turquoise bolo tie and wool cowboy hat, completing her look with silver statement earrings by Eight Other Reasons and a brown patent leather clutch, which was custom-made by Ferragamo.

Beyoncé’s latest album, “Cowboy Carter,” marks her first full-length foray into country music.

“This album has been over five years in the making,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram last month. “It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn’t. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and studied our rich musical archive.”

Beyoncé has always incorporated Western wear into her wardrobe, most notably with the release of her 2022 album, “Renaissance.” In promotional images for her recent world tour, the pop star sported a mirrored cowboy hat akin to a disco ball. Meanwhile, at the 2024 Grammys, Beyoncé accessorized her Louis Vuitton skirt suit with a Stetson chapeau.
