In the wake of the release of her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, Beyoncé really brought the rodeo to the iHeartRadio Music Awards last night.
For the event, the “Texas Hold ’Em” singer wore a complete cowboy suit, courtesy of Versace. The ensemble, which looked like a stylish leather take on a sheriff’s uniform, was a shiny catsuit that was partly zipped up the front to reveal a plunging neckline.
On the legs, there were swirling designs composed of shiny golden studs, which wrapped all the way up to the singer’s hips—where she stacked two different belts with golden hardware. Up top, Queen Bey’s catsuit looked like a layered leather jacket.
And, it didn’t end there. The superstar, of course, she had to add a matching black cowboy hat, which featured the golden Versace logo stitched onto the front. This logo also repeated in circular discs around the band, and for the chin cord on the hat (colloquially referred to as a “stampede string”), we saw the same emblem again, which laid across Beyoncé’s chest like a bolo tie. She rounded out the look with pointy black stilettos adorned with two rows of golden buckles, and large golden hoop earrings.

The pop superstar was seen wearing the look on the red carpet, as well as on stage, when she was presented with the Innovator Award by Stevie Wonder.
Beyoncé has been on a roll with her ranchero-themed outfits recently. Earlier that same day, she was seen walking the streets of Los Angeles in a Western-style version of the Canadian tuxedo, courtesy of Dries Van Noten. She wore a denim jumpsuit, which she belted across the middle and matched with a denim cowboy hat by Gladys Tamez and sky blue boots from Steve Madden. In the past few weeks, she’s also given the coquette trend a cowboy spin and worn a glamorous monochromatic brown leather look—ten-gallon hat and all.
