Beyoncé in custom Manish Malhotra chaps for the 'Cowboy Carter' Tour in Paris has us roped in

As we witness a new wave of Indian designers growing their footprint in the international fashion world, Beyoncé does it again, and this time in Manish Malhotra couture. At the ongoing Cowboy Carter Tour taking place in Paris, Beyonce was seen in a custom couture outfit designed by the Indian couture maestro. The outfit featured a sleek black cropped bodysuit, encrusted with Swarovski, the look was both fierce and futuristic, echoing the bold narrative of Cowboy Carter through high fashion. In true cowboy style, she wore black custom chaps, also designed by the designer. Beyoncé’s chaps, crafted in the style of classic cowboy pants, were transformed into a shimmering spectacle with intricate hand embroidery, embellished with Manish Malhotra's signature sequins and over 10,000 Swarovski crystals. Traditionally, a protective gear worn by cowboys, the pop icon wore embellished chaps to defy every rule of fashion and create a statement in a way she knows best. With the mastery of Manish Malhotra to back it, it's a moment in fashion and music blending effortlessly for the world to witness and savour it. 

As is the case for the rest of her lookbook, with denims galore, bedazzled, sometimes furry chaps, cowboy hats and form-fitting bodysuits, her hair and makeup have been pristine to complement each of her spectacular looks. For this show in Paris, the pop icon wore her long platinum locks in pristinely styled mermaid waves. The makeup was in equal symmetry to the rest of the beauty memo of trendy and on point. With a focus on contour and the focal point being the eye makeup and complexion, Beyoncé, with her star performance, put on a show for the books. 

With Manish Malhotra reimagining the spirit of the Wild West, Beyoncé's bold fusion of country grit and couture artistry was envisioned specially for the queen of reinvention.
