Beyoncé has just sashayed onto the Halloween scene and she’s got the kind of surprise that’ll make you say, “Bey, are you trying to make Halloween a national holiday?”
Ladies, gentlemen, and those still recovering from her last jaw-dropping look, Queen Bey has officially transformed into the legendary funk-rock queen Betty Davis. And, as if we expected anything less, she didn’t just “dress up” as Davis—no, she BECAME Betty Davis, embodying the kind of soul, sass, and ‘70s cool that’d make the original diva herself do a double-take.
Imagine Beyoncé, standing there like, “Oh, I just threw this on,” while somehow nailing Davis’ iconic look down to the sparkle in her eyes and that flawless ‘don’t-mess-with-me’ energy. And all this happens to land just as Grammy buzz is swirling like a caffeinated tornado around her hit album Cowboy Carter. Plus, we’ve all been clutching our pearls, hoping to get a hint about that mysterious final part of her trilogy. Will it be funk? Soul? Country? All three?
Anyway, Beyoncé’s done it again, so if you weren’t planning to dress up, it’s time to reconsider. Let the Queen show you how it’s done.
