How To Be Beyonce's Visual Album For Halloween
With October well on its way, Halloween is now fast approaching. Before we know it, the long-awaited best day of the year will be here, and time is running out to prepare. Coming up with a cool, original getup seems to be getting harder and harder every year. This year, I thought I'd look to my favorite music artist and queen of the world, Queen B, for some inspiration. So if you still haven't nailed down a costume, why not take on one of Beyonce’s ultra sexy personas in her latest album? Beyonce shocked the world with the unexpected release of her self-titled visual album last year. With over an hour's worth of incredible footage that combines sultry, seduction-worthy wardrobes with powerful, girl-ruling attitudes, any of Beyonce’s legendary tracks will leave you looking #flawless. Hits like Drunk In Love, Partition and XO can be easily recreated with the below inspiration looks.
Go full-on "Partition" vixen as in with mesh bodysuits and patent leather trench coats, or accentuate your playful girly side with "Blow"-inspired old-school roller skates and lots of neon. "Drunk in Love" more your jam? Grab the flash tats and your favorite black bikini and you’re just steps away from recreating the iconic video. Here's how to do every single one from the album:
