Beyoncé recently released her third visual album Black Is King. This 2020 musical film is a masterpiece curated to explore legacy, Black culture, and the Black diaspora.

The art direction and styling by African designers, and overall Afrocentric production will pull you in immediately.

The piece is inspired from the 2019 remake of The Lion King and walks viewers through the life of a young African King cast out into the world as a baby.

Queen B has served us an entire visual album filled with brilliantly curated music and jaw-dropping fashion displayed over various locations across the world.

This work of art is now streaming on Disney+ and if you haven’t watched it already, know that you must. We are thankful for every single one of the collaborators, especially Beyoncé’s stylist Zerina Akers.

Without further ado, here is a fashion guide for Black Is King, with outfit suggestions inspired by iconic parts of the album.

This visual album begins with momentous shots of Beyoncé on a remote beach.

Seemingly singing to the baby boy she is holding in her arms, we are given beautiful scenes of her dress shining in the sand.

Products: Dress, Sandals, Pendant

The white maxi dress is the focus of this piece, and while I couldn’t find something quite as couture as hers, this flowing dress is fit for a goddess.

I opted for a pair of simple, knotted slide sandals that and a pendant with subtle detail.

The key is to keep the look breezy and breath-taking.
