The 42-year-old “16 Carriages” singer kept up her Wester-inspired style at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards in Los Angeles on Monday, where she won the Innovator Award.
Celebrating the release of her first country album, Cowboy Carter, the superstar went all out in a leather head-to-toe outfit from Versace’s Fall-Winter 1992 collection. The outfit included a zipped leather jacket with golden Medusa details, a studded leather gilet, and crystal-embellished leather pants.
With pointed boots that had Medusa designs on them, a Medusa cowboy hat, and stacked double belts, she put together the look. She also wore Zydo diamond earrings to make it look even better.

The honor gave Beyoncé a chance to ask everyone to be open to accepting others and to enjoy art “with no preconceived notions.”
It was Stevie Wonder who gave her the award. He called her “a true visionary” and thanked her for “making the world a better place.”She thanked Wonder and then told him that he plays harmonica on her version of “Jolene,” which is on Cowboy Carter.
In her speech, she said, “Tonight you called me an innovator, and for that I’m very grateful.” “A dream is the beginning of something new. Then you have to make your dream come true, which can be a rough road. To be an innovator, you have to see things that other people think are impossible. People who come up with new ideas are often attacked, which can test your mental strength.
Beyoncé had an album signing in Tokyo on the day that Cowboy Carter came out. She looked hot in a cowboy outfit. “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer greeted fans in a brown outfit that included a latex bodycon dress, a trench coat, opera gloves, and shoes with straps. Of course, she topped it all off with a cowboy hat.
This year, the Grammy winner has worn cowboy hats to many events, such as the Luar fashion show during New York Fashion Week, where she watched her nephew Juelz walk the runway. She wore another one-color outfit while sitting in the front row with her mom, Tina Knowles. This time, she wore a gray jumpsuit with a Stetson cowboy hat. The shine on her suit and the metal Luar bag gave her outfit some extra bling.
Beyoncé was already playing with her country sound before Cowboy Carter was even named singer of the year at the Grammys. She wore a cowboy hat to the award show to support her husband, JAY-Z, who was getting the Dr. Dre global impact award.
Cowboy style was all the rage at the time, so her Stetson was just a fashion choice. But a few days later, she announced that her new country-inspired record was on the way, and the whole look came together.
