Beyoncé Is a Total Bombshell in a Ruched Dress With a Gaping Bust Cutout

Beyoncé blended her signature bombshell style with her appreciation for western aesthetics—and the results were fabulous.

The “Texas Hold ’Em” singer showed off her latest outfit in two new Instagram posts Wednesday night. She took the glamorous route, wearing a black bodycon dress with a crisscrossing halter neck, ruched details across the center, and a massive diamond-shaped cutout at the middle of her chest and abdomen. She topped off the monochrome look with some fun accessories, including a feather boa, leather opera gloves, a crystal-bedazzled bolo tie, diamond-encrusted hoop earrings, and a black cowboy hat. She finished the ensemble with a pair of strappy black heeled sandals from Loewe.

While Beyoncé has always worn homages to her Texan roots, she really began to lean into cowboy dressing after announcing her eighth studio album, a country music project aptly titled Cowboy Carter.

Since then, cowboy hats, bolo ties, and assless chaps haven’t been uncommon elements to accent the superstar’s many outfits, whether she’s dressing up for a red-carpet event or for a vacation with family.

“This album has been over five years in the making,” Beyoncé wrote in an Instagram post in March. “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. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history.”
