Beyoncé just hit the red carpet in a tapered bandeau dress

Beyoncé is a girl’s girl. In October, after appearing at a Taylor Swift concert-turned-movie premiere, she returned to the theater to support another friend: her good friend and former Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland Kelly Rowland).

Beyoncé, Jay Z and mom Tina Knowles all attended the New York premiere of Mea Culpa , produced by and starring Rowland, on Thursday, February 15. On Instagram, the outfit she wore totally stole the show.

Because even though she's not technically the star, Beyoncé always dresses with star energy. This is the real queen.

Beyoncé's tapered bra look

The "Texas Hold 'Em" singer wore a patterned mini dress to the event. The striped style features long sleeves and draped details on the skirt. It also comes with a hood – echoing one of 2023’s biggest trends.

However, unlike the typical hooded dress, Bey featured an ultra-deep neckline that slid past her chest. The strategic opening revealed the most flattering part of her look: the miniskirt's built-in tapered bra. While she's no stranger to tapered bras, wearing them both in denim and in bedazzled iterations, these pointed ones feature a black and white swirly pattern that gives an optical illusion effect.

Her accessory is an Easter egg

Lest you forget she has an untitled new album coming out, let her Balmain bag (in the shape of a speaker) be your sartorial reminder.

Her shoes served as Easter eggs. Beyoncé has been incorporating Western elements into her looks lately, leading more fans to believe she's dropping a full country album. While she ditched her now-iconic cowboy hat, a closer look at her mules reveals they're decidedly Western.

Another noteworthy accessory? Bey's posh topper. The ever-charming singer channeled the buzzy "Mob Wives" aesthetic by draping an oversized fur coat over her shoulders on her way to the premiere.
