This ain't Texas, but Beyoncé is coming to the UK – and if you're wondering what to wear to the Cowboy Carter tour, I have answers. As a proud member of the Beyhive, and having been to virtually every single one of her tours in the last 10 years, I'm well-versed in Yoncé-approved outfits.
Getting tickets to any chart star's concert these days is akin to winning the lottery (Taylor Swift and Sabrina Carpenter, we're looking at you), not to mention needing to take out a loan to be able to afford one, but if you managed to score some for Cowboy Carter, the next anxiety-inducing assignment is sorting your costume before the 5th of June.
No, you don't need to go all-out – though, if you can't do it at a Beyoncé concert, when can you? – but if you're as dedicated as the rest of the crowd that'll be attending, you might want to at least dip your toe.
On the agenda? Think: double denim, studded leather, patriotic colour palettes to match the album art and rhinestone-embellished everything. Cowboy boots? Duh. Cowboy hats? Absolutely (just remember to be conscious of your surroundings in case you're blocking any views).

Below: outfit ideas for what to wear to Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour.
"DENIM ON DENIM (ON DENIM, ON DENIM)"
If LEVII'S JEANS is the song you're most looking forward to seeing her perform live, then you'll surely want a double denim ‘fit – or Canadian tuxedo – to wear for the experience. Replicate Queen Bey herself with some chaps, a denim cowboy hat and a white tank top, or go for something you’re more likely to repeat-wear like a denim jacket and denim shorts.

TEXAS HOLD 'EM
Studded leather and suede, tassels, gold accents and a means-business attitude will serve up TEXAS HOLD 'EM realness, just like Beyoncé at the iHeart Radio Music Awards last year. The song – which was number 1 in the USA and UK charts – is guaranteed to get people up and dancing, so cowboy boots (knee high or over) for a two step are a must.

RED, WHITE AND BLUE
Feeling patriotic? Take inspo from the Grammy award-winning Cowboy Carter album cover art with a red, white and blue outfit. Amazon has some fun costume accessories if you want to recreate the white stallion-riding look or look like you've stepped out of a country music video, but equally, it's easy to go more subtle with this vibe too with some simple white denim shorts and a bandana, for example.

DISCO COWGIRL
It wasn't the Superbowl, but it was coined the Beyoncé Bowl. Beyoncé performed songs from her country album with her daughter, Blue Ivy, during the halftime show for the game between the Baltimore Ravens and the Houston Texans on Christmas Day last year, and wore a sequin-encrusted cowgirl ensemble while doing it. She's known for her glam looks – hark back to the Renaissance world tour – so for Cowboy Carter, we're really leaning into it. See below for inspo.

“JUST FOR FUN”
Like the song suggests, sometimes it's JUST FOR FUN. If you're not looking to ‘dress up’ per se, then subtly southern, Americana accents like the pieces below are the perfect way to tip your hat (sorry) to the theme.
