Beyoncé dressed up as Toni Braxton’s 1993 album cover for Halloween, continuing her tradition of honoring female MCs with her costumes.
Nobody slays Halloween quite like Beyoncé.
The superstar, 37, revealed her 2018 costume on Tuesday: a near-identical recreation of Toni Braxton’s 1993 eponymous album cover.
Beyoncé traded her long blonde locks for a short black pixie wig, adding a white tank top, jeans and leather jacket. She finished her spot-on “Phoni Braxton” outfit with a vintage Chanel belt and earrings.
“Sending love and adoration to one of our talented legends. Thank you for the countless bops,” the star captioned her I nstagram pictures. “Your tone, your beauty, your range, and your God-given talent is treasured. Loving you always. Have a Happy Halloween my Kings and Queens.”
Naturally, Braxton was thrilled to be emulated by Queen Bey. “Phoni Braxton!? NEVER!!! How do you look better than me on MY album cover? I LOVE IT, Such a superstar!,” she wrote in response on Twitter . “Thanks for the love sis! Happy Halloween Who run the world… GIRLS! GIRLS!”
Beyoncé has a history of honoring female MCs on October 31.Last year, the “Love On Top” hitmaker channeled not just one, but five iconic looks worn by Lil’ Kim while husband Jay-Z went to a party as Notorious B. I. G. And in 2016, Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy and mom Tina Lawson joined her in a Salt-N-Pepa-themed look.
Perhaps Jay-Z will go as Braxton’s fiancé Birdman this year.
