Beyoncé stunned in a shimmering gold ensemble as she attended a star-studded Glamour event in New York City, accompanied by her mother, Tina Knowles, and close friend Kelly Rowland. The trio made a glamorous appearance, adding to the night’s allure with their stylish and coordinated looks. Beyoncé’s dazzling outfit captured the spotlight, reinforcing her iconic presence at the high-profile gathering.
The 32-time Grammy Award-winner, Beyoncé, 43, attended the 2024 Glamour Women of the Year Awards alongside her mother, Tina Knowles, 70, and longtime friend Kelly Rowland, 43. Although Beyoncé opted to skip the red carpet, she was spotted mingling with fellow stars inside the luxurious Times Square EDITION hotel. The singer even took a selfie with Olympian Suni Lee, capturing the moment at the high-profile event.
Beyoncé showcased her enviable hourglass figure in a gold silk maxi skirt paired with a form-fitting yellow sweater top for the evening. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in Marilyn Monroe-inspired curls that gently grazed her shoulders. Completing her look, she donned sky-high gold platform shoes and draped a luxurious fur-lined coat over her shoulders. She accessorized with a brown clutch purse and yellow mesh gloves.
Accompanied by her mother, Tina Knowles, and close friend Kelly Rowland, Beyoncé was also joined by her cousin and songwriter, Angela Beyincé. During the event, she mingled with notable figures, including Samantha Barry and June Ambrose.
After posing for photos, Beyoncé and her mother departed the venue and headed to a private dinner at a local hotspot. The duo was seen stepping out of a black chauffeured SUV, linking arms as they carefully made their way up the curb in their heels, with Tina—one of Glamour’s 2024 honorees—radiating elegance alongside her daughter.
To add a bold pop of color to her glamorous look, Beyoncé wore a striking red lip. The event, where her mother Tina Knowles was honored, also recognized other influential mothers of A-list stars, including Maggie Baird, mother of Billie Eilish.
Beyoncé’s appearance at the 2024 Glamour Women of the Year Awards came shortly after news surfaced that she had submitted her new album, Cowboy Carter, for consideration in the Grammy Awards’ country category, according to The Hollywood Reporter (THR). This marks her second attempt at entering the country genre, after her 2016 track “Daddy Lessons” from Lemonade was submitted but not nominated.
Despite recent snubs from the Country Music Association (CMA) Awards and going winless at the People’s Choice Country Awards—where she had 12 nominations—Beyoncé remains undeterred in exploring country music. Notably, she has won 32 Grammy Awards from 88 nominations across multiple genres but has yet to receive a country nomination.
In 2017, Lemonade demonstrated her genre-crossing versatility, earning nominations in rock, rap, R&B, and pop categories. The Recording Academy, which relies on about 350 volunteer music industry experts to determine classifications, sometimes faces challenges when an artist’s work spans multiple genres. Last year, Renaissance was debated before ultimately being placed—and winning—in the dance category.
Reactions to Beyoncé’s upcoming awards season submission for Cowboy Carter have been mixed among fans. While some enthusiasts celebrated her entry into the country genre, claiming she deserves the accolades, others expressed skepticism regarding the album’s classification.
One fan enthusiastically proclaimed, “Queen Bey takes Nashville! Beyoncé for the country win!” while another confidently asserted, “Beyoncé will be the winner; mark my words.”
Conversely, some critics voiced their doubts about the album’s fit within the country genre. One commenter remarked that Cowboy Carter was “not a country album—it’s just cosplaying as one.”
Released on March 29, Cowboy Carter marks Beyoncé’s eighth studio album and features collaborations with notable artists such as Miley Cyrus, Post Malone, Dolly Parton, and Willie Nelson. The album has garnered acclaim, further fueling discussions about its potential success in the forthcoming awards season.
