BeyHive Couture: Vogue Captures Street Style Looks at the Cowboy Carter Show in Houston
The scene outside of NRG Stadium over the weekend for the two-night run of Cowboy Carter shows was nothing short of a pep rally. Texas-sized chrysanthemum corsages were on parade, embellished with ribbons and decorative spirit trinkets, pinned at the shoulder (down South, we call them mums). Red, white, and blue silk sashes sliced through crowds, too, customized to riff on the Grammy Award-winning (Best Country Album, anyone?) record cover. And because June 28 serendipitously doubled as International LGBTQI+ Pride Day, a gulf of self-described queens rounded out this metaphoric homecoming court.
Beyoncé's past and present onstage fashion inspired street style looks laden with Easter eggs. A number of outfits paid homage to the inaugural NFL 2024 Christmas Day Halftime Show, apropos-dubbed BeyBowl, for the Houston Texas vs. Baltimore Ravens game, which also took place at NRG. Many a concertgoer drew from the furry, feathered, and rhinestone-flecked all-white western wear that stylist and costume designer Shiona Turini produced for Cowboy Carter Christmas. Others paid tribute to classic Americana, with patriotic flags waving through Levi's or Wrangler denim belt loops.
For Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo competitors, such as sister barrel racers Leah and Elizabeth Zadel, it was an occasion to layer functional cowgirl gear with couture.
'These are Stella McCartney jeans that I saved up for, for a long time with the Ariat boots I always wear,' Leah told Vogue. 'And my sister got the idea for her pants from Beyoncé's custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture outfit for the tour. She sewed on all those conchos after she couldn't find anything similar and thought, 'Why not make it myself?''
Outside of Queen Bey's hometown hoedown, Vogue photographed some of the most inventive and inspiring looks.
Arturo Valenzuela: 'I really went off of her Christmas [halftime show] outfits. With everything going on in the world right now I thought, 'Let me show up and show out.' I thought the white really pops on my skin tone. And my sash was made by a designer I found on TikTok.'

Travis Kelce stats: Chiefs TE splits with and without Taylor Swift in attendance
Motivation comes in all forms. For some, that might be working hard to avoid losing a job. For others, that might mean doing extra to earn a bit more money. For athletes and performers, it could just be to impress a special someone in attendance. It's been two seasons since Taylor Swift took over the NFL world following her relationship with Travis Kelce and the evidence is interesting to say the least. There seems to be a little extra motivation for Kelce when she's around, which is evidenced by the tight end's box scores. While Swift might be a good luck charm for Kelce, can the same also be said for the Kansas City Chiefs? Maybe it's her or maybe the Chiefs are just that good. Here's a look at Kelce's stats with and without Swift in attendance, as well as the Chiefs' record in those contests. Travis Kelce stats with Taylor Swift in attendance The Chiefs finished with a 10-3 record with Swift around in 2023, including a Super Bowl victory against the San Francisco 49ers. The Chiefs were 9-1 during the 2024 season with Swift in the building, with the only loss coming in Super Bowl 59 to the Philadelphia Eagles. Kansas City owns a 19-4 record all-time when she's in the crowd. Travis Kelce stats without Taylor Swift in attendance Swift didn't begin attending Chiefs games until Week 3 of the 2023 NFL season, going 3-2 without the music star in attendance. Kelce was inactive during the Chiefs' Week 1 and 18 contests, joining the Week 2 game as the three that didn't make the cut Kansas City was 8-1 when Swift wasn't around and Kelce played in 2024. The Chiefs are 12-3 in that situation dating back to the 2023 season.
