The animal-print renaissance will not be tamed. It all started in Fall/Winter 2024, when Alaïa, Dior, Versace, McQueen, and Isabel Marant made a roaring case for leopard print. A year later, zebra dominated Balmain and Jacquemus's runways. But now, at the hands of Beyoncé, cowhide is primed to be fashion's next big trend.
Ever since the singer entered her Cowboy Carter era in early 2024, she has pledged allegiance to all matter of Western-inspired clothing. Her mood board spotlights cowboy boots, bolo ties, paisley prints, and cowhide (to name a few key codes), and when fans attend the Cowboy Carter tour, they follow Queen Bey's unofficial dress code.
