That is of course, until we come to Beyonce. There’s a reason her Cowboy Carter tour was such a moment in the annals of sartoria (and also the Grammys). Denim bandanas, cowboy hats, heeled boots, tassels, frills, pleats plumped with ruffles – if Perry’s looks stunned on the kitschy radar, Beyonce aced the stars-and-stripes brief in as sophisticated a turn as possible. A real slice of Americana fashion, served piping hot!
