Fresh off the back of her incredible Album of the Year win at the Grammys, Beyoncé is ready to bring her groundbreaking Cowboy Carter music to the stage in a select few locations
If her Renaissance World Tour in 2023 is anything to go by, her upcoming shows will blow fans all away.
The megastar’s showstopping looks from the tour have given fans hope for what is to come, and after speaking with fashion expert Louisa Rogers, it seems they can expect bigger and better than ever in true Beyoncé style.
According to Louisa, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer is expected to house a wardrobe worth a whopping $2.7 million, with possible collaborations with Alexander McQueen and Schiaparelli in sight.
She donned over 148 individual looks for her Renaissance Tour, sourced from over 35 fashion houses; and if we know anything about the mother of three, we know she is not one to pull back for this tour.
“The Renaissance World Tour’s wardrobe generated an incredible media impact value of $187 million, benefiting various fashion houses,” said Louisa.
“While this figure reflects media exposure rather than the direct clothing creation costs, it highlights the scale and luxury of her tour wardrobes.”
She added: “During the Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé’s outfits were valued at significant amounts for their craftsmanship, rarity and celebrity provenance. For instance, her custom Alexander McQueen pieces were estimated between $21,600 to $30,200. Given this precedent, it’s plausible that her looks for the Cowboy Carter tour could be in a similar or higher price range, especially as her star power continues to rise.”
A key theme predicted for the show is Rodeo Futurism, a blend of classic and contemporary that will surely ignite many a fashion trend.
“Considering Beyoncé’s usual approach to fashion, she is likely to continue to blend traditional American Western motifs with modern, avant-garde elements that add drama, silhouette and dazzle to the outfits,” Louisa explained.
“You could certainly say that she is creating a hybrid trend between the old Americana and modern country. The concept of ‘Rodeo Futurism’ – merging classic cowboy aesthetics with more futuristic leaning designs – feels a more appropriate way to display patriotism and embody American values in 2025.”
Research has shown that in the last month alone, searches for denim rompers and 70s cowboy fashion have surged 4,000%, while vintage western wear has hit a 750% increase.
While she is likely to work with big names like Alexander McQueen again, Beyoncé has also been known to depart from Eurocentric fashion houses and seek out different looks, like her Gaurav Gupta Renaissance outfits.
“Additionally, she might explore new partnerships to align with the tour’s Western aesthetic,” Louisa shared. “Chloe and Isabel Marant, whilst quite understated brands, have been sending some heavy-duty fringed suede and leather jackets down the runway which offer the drama needed for a stage outfit.”
The 43-year-old’s newest tour comes just months after her jaw-dropping performance at the NFL halftime show on Christmas Day in her hometown of Houston, Texas, which showcased some incredible western-inspired outfits and gave fans a taste of what is to come.
