Only Beyoncé Could Make Opera Gloves

Cool

Some stars wear their fashions exactly as they were presented on the runway—but BeyoncĂ© isn’t one of them. The music legend likes to adapt each designer’s look to suit her needs, and on Instagram, where she updates her fans with mini-editorials for each outfit, her customizations take center stage. After spending the weekend in glitzy Roberto Cavalli and David Koma gowns while supporting her husband, Jay-Z, at his Sean Carter Foundation Gala in Hollywood, Florida, BeyoncĂ© switched gears yesterday in a color-blocked suit by Lebanese label, Jeux des Mains. Pastel pink and blue with maroon accents, the blazer and matching trousers were striking on their own, but the star elevated them with an unexpected addition: matching opera gloves.
Once an essential element of any formal outfit, opera gloves remain a favorite of celebrities and designers. Currently enjoying a runway renaissance—labels like BalmainMax Mara, and Ralph Lauren all featured long gloves in their Fall 2019 collections—they’re a chic way to stay warm. But BeyoncĂ©’s take went beyond the standard black or white: Perfectly coordinated to her look, the pair helped her carry the color-blocked theme from head to toe. BeyoncĂ© and stylist Zerina Ackers are always in search of the next great trend—and this time, they may have found it.
