Looks like this summer’s gonna be hotter than a Texas barbecue, y’all! And guess what’s sizzlin’ on the fashion grill? Cowboy hats! And if you’re loving it or hating it, you can thank or blame Queen B herself – Beyoncé.
Beyoncé’s latest gig as a pop-star-turned-country-singer is roping in even more fans to embrace their inner cowboy or cowgirl. And let’s not forget the influence of last summer’s “Barbie” movie, where those lids were strutting their stuff like they owned the ranch. Now, western-inspired designs are strutting down fashion runways faster than a bronco at a rodeo, even making an appearance in Louis Vuitton’s fall/winter 2024 line.
Seems like the “coastal cowgirl” look – complete with cowboy boots and linen threads – was already making waves last summer. And when Queen Bey announced her country album during the Super Bowl, Google searches for “cowboy hat” shot up faster than a tumbleweed in a desert windstorm.
The era of “cowgirl couture.” is here! And hey, Kardashians, looks like you missed the wagon on this one!
