I’m Going to the Cowboy Carter Concert — Here’s Your Official Style Guide

It’s not a western without denim, especially denim overalls. I love how versatile these bad boys are! Sure, they might be a little pricey, but think about all the wear you’ll get out of them, even after the concert. And (!!) you can totally dress them up for the show by adding some silver jewelry, a white bandeau, an Americana fringe jacket (to really nail those western vibes), and of course, cowboy boots. Oh, and don’t forget the hat to complete the look!

Speaking of fringe jackets, this suede number from Stetson is a statement piece you need to fully embrace your inner cowgirl. Thanks to its quality craftsmanship, it features stylized front patch pockets, a notched collar, and layers upon layers of fringe. It’s not as bedazzled as some of the other items on this list, so it’s a bit less glam. But it’s all about that country vibe, and when paired with the right pieces—like silver tassel denim shorts—it really pulls the whole look together.

I’m surprised this sparkly accessory from Anthropologie wasn’t handpicked by Beyoncé herself. I mean, it’s just so Cowboy Carter. It comes in two shades, a light beige and darker brown (no blue, sadly). I love how silvery it is without drawing too much attention, adding to its wearability factor. It’s the perfect little touch to complete your look without going overboard.

Not a fan of overalls? No worries—try these Texas-themed jeans instead. I mean, how much more Americana can you get with red stars on the rear and flared bottoms? Pair them with a white tank adorned with the same design, and you’ll have basically recreated a similar outfit Beyoncé wore.

Honestly, when it comes to tees and tanks for Cowboy Carter, it’s best to keep it minimalistic. The rest of your fit — especially the pants and accessories — will do the talking. That’s why this classic vest from J.Crew is the perfect find for your western look. It’s country enough to give your outfit that western edge, but clean and minimalist enough not to distract from the rest of your vibe.

No outfit is complete without accessories, and it’s not truly cowgirl unless you’ve got a silver, over-the-top belt like this one from Anthropologie. There are plenty of silver belts out there, but I love this one for its dainty accents, especially the hand-engraved antique silver heart hardware. It gives just the right amount of flair without sacrificing the overall western vibe.

Beyoncé has a song called “Levi’s Jeans,” so it’s only natural we slip into a denim piece from the brand. Sure, we could go the basic route with some jeans, but why not turn it up a notch and go ~extra~ with a vest? Vests scream country chic, and this one? It’s the perfect balance of western charm and high-fashion edge. Trust me, this piece will have you channeling your inner cowgirl in the best way possible.

Almost any cowboy boots will work for the concert, but these from Sam Edelman are an investment piece you won’t regret. Why? Beyond their durable construction, they scream cowboy meets bling and evoke that perfect balance of rugged and glam. They give off just the right amount of sparkle without losing that authentic western vibe.

Yes, yes, we already have a cowboy hat on this list, but c’mon—how could I not include a diamond fringe hat? This is a must for Cowboy Carter. It doesn’t even need explaining.

I couldn’t close out this list without including ripped shorts with bedazzled tassels. I mean — it’s the first thing that comes to mind when picturing Cowboy Carter. Sure, it might be basic (and yeah, everyone will be wearing them at the venue), but they’re just everything. Plus, they’re so sparkly — how can anyone hate that?
