Another key fashion motif of the Cowboy Carter era is, of course, a cowboy hat — and not just any cowboy hat, a statement cowboy bat. Beyoncé has gone for extra big, embellished, denim, furry, gold, bright and bold, neutral, and patterned designs this era, so the world really is your cowboy hat-shaped oyster. However, when in doubt, a simple white design like on the album cover will always fly (just as the Renaissance mirrored cowboy hat became the fashion icon of the Renaissance tour). Just note, a massive fuck off cowboy hat will not make you popular with your fellow concert-goers. It’s always best etiquette to take it off when inside — either place it on your chair when dancing or attach a ribbon so you can tie it around your neck.
