If you invite Beyoncé to your birthday party, be ready for her to take center stage. Legendary photographer Lenny “Kodak Lens” Santiago experienced this firsthand during his 50th birthday celebration at SoHo House in Malibu. The high-fashion event featured an all-black-everything dress code, pizza from Brooklyn’s renowned Lucali, and a guest list brimming with famous faces.

Beyoncé, embodying her Cowboy Carter persona, stunned in a custom Lapointe ensemble. Her outfit featured a slinky, ruched, cut-out dress paired with a hand-embroidered feather jacket. She completed the look with a black cowboy hat, black gloves, diamond bolo tie, and striking Loewe sandals adorned with rose-bloom heels. As usual, Beyoncé avoided the paparazzi, opting instead to share her glamorous look with her followers on Instagram.

Styled by her longtime collaborator Shiona Turini, Beyoncé accessorized with diamond hoops and oversized black sunglasses. Her blonde hair was styled in bouncy curls, adding to her already captivating presence.

The star-studded affair highlighted Santiago’s influence in the industry, with guests including Kelly Rowland, Jay-Z, Kevin Hart, and Adele, all dressed to impress in black attire. Despite the impressive roster of attendees, Beyoncé’s cowboy-inspired ensemble ensured she remained the focal point of the evening.

Beyoncé’s current style phase embraces Americana with a cowboy twist. Just last week, she showcased another quintessentially “her” look: blue, bedazzled hot shorts, a cowboy hat, and a fringed American flag coat. Solidifying her status as the ultimate American cowboy, Beyoncé continues to redefine fashion on her own terms, both on and off the stage.
