Beyoncé wears Portuguese-British brand Marques'Almeida for new 'Cowboy Carter Tour'
M'A itself confirmed this on its social media channels, posting: "We're proud to see @beyonce wearing a customized Marques'Almeida look for her Cowboy Carter tour," as read on Instagram. "Created in raw denim with frayed edges and deconstructed, handmade details - embodying our true M'A London signature, and meticulously handmade in our Porto atelier. Made with love, strength, and deep gratitude for an artist who continues to inspire."
It was Beyoncé's own team that contacted the M'A's Portuguese designer duo, Marta Marques and Paulo Almeida, on the singer's recommendation, to design the costumes for her new "Cowboy Carter Tour", which is attracting crowds and breaking box office records worldwide. The couple's 'official spokesperson' confirmed this FashionNetwork.com
According to Marques, the partnership came about through direct contact with the Portuguese duo's label, currently divided between London, Porto, and the north of Portugal: "We were contacted by the singer's styling team who were working with her and the whole team of dancers for this tour," she told FashionNetwork.com.
The pieces "are completely exclusive," continued the designer, whom FashionNetwork.com recently interviewed in the Douro, on the occasion of the debut of the new Portugal Fashion Experience format. The event celebrated the label's 30th anniversary and marked the return of fashion shows after a break of almost two years.
"We developed around three looks, one of which has already been worn and the others may still be worn, all for CCTOUR moments."
"It was incredible to be invited! It was a very intense process but a testament to M'A's legacy and relevance. We were sought out for the distinctive work done at M'A and in the denim area," the Portuguese fashion designer confessed, apologizing for the rush that absorbs her days and brightens her nights.

Levi Strauss & Co. debuts The Denim Cowboy with Beyoncé
The Levi's® brand, in collaboration with global icon Beyoncé, today debuted The Denim Cowboy, the final instalment of the year-long Levi's® REIIMAGINE campaign. The film weaves together the three previous chapters, revealing the campaign as more than a reinterpretation of iconic Levi's® advertisements - it is the creation of a new narrative centred on empowerment and rewriting the rules. Shown throughout The Denim Cowboy are Levi's® icons and hero pieces from the new BEYONCÉ x LEVI'S® denim collection that serve as the film's uniform and latest cornerstone of the partnership with Beyoncé, highlighting the brand's denim lifestyle leadership. Set to an exclusive edit of the "Levi's Jeans" soundtrack from the Grammy Award-winning album, Cowboy Carter, the 90-second film includes new scenes and extended cuts from the previously released Launderette, Pool Hall and Refrigerator films - all inspired by classic Levi's® advertisements from the '80s and '90s. Once again, the Levi's® brand partnered with Grammy Award-winning director Melina Matsoukas to bring this vision to life. Recontextualising the previous chapters and unveiling new details, The Denim Cowboy reveals that Beyoncé's winning prize from the pool game is none other than the local shark's 501® jeans, played by award-winning actor, Timothy Olyphant (Justified, Deadwood). Beyoncé stuns in a crystalised '90s Shrunken Trucker paired with the 501® Curve jeans, a new and ground breaking 501® silhouette designed to celebrate and fit curves without compromising the authentic straight-leg silhouette that makes the 501® so timeless and enduring. Channelling the bold glamour first unveiled in Pool Hall, the Western Crystal '90s Shrunken Trucker and Western Crystal 501® Curve jeans emerge as the standout statement pieces of the BEYONCÉ X LEVI'S® denim collection. "The Denim Cowboy marks the culmination of the ground breaking Levi's® REIIMAGINE campaign, marking the final celebration of a partnership that has explored reinvention and reinterpretation at every turn," said Kenny Mitchell, Global Chief Marketing Officer of the Levi's® brand at Levi Strauss & Co. "The campaign represents a new level and scale of collaboration that has put women at the centre of the narrative, and set in motion a new, iconic chapter in Levi's® history that continues to reaffirm the brand's place at the centre of culture." The partnership reached a dazzling crescendo during Beyoncé's final performances of COWBOY CARTER TOUR in Las Vegas where the icon's entire dance crew lit up the stage in the shimmering new pieces from the BEYONCÉ X LEVI'S® denim collection - looks inspired by the bold spirit of the ongoing REIIMAGINE campaign. The BEYONCÉ X LEVI'S® denim collection - including the Western Crystal '90s Shrunken Trucker (250 dollars) and the Western Crystal 501® Curve (150 dollars) - along with two other head-to-toe denim sets will be available starting August 4th on and globally August 7th on and select Levi's® stores. The Denim Cowboy launches with a fully integrated global campaign, including television, digital, social media, and out-of-home. The campaign maintains the Levi's® tradition of working with the most celebrated creative talents of our time. Matsoukas collaborated with Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Marcell Rév and acclaimed photographer Mason Poole to capture the visual essence of the REIIMAGINE campaign, adding another layer to the rich tapestry of iconic Levi's® campaigns.
