AceShowbiz - When it comes to Halloween, two looks are better than one - especially if you're Beyonce Knowles. The global superstar took to Instagram to unveil her second Halloween costume of the season, channeling both the music legend Prince and his protégée turned lover, Apollonia Kotero.
This dazzling double tribute follows her earlier transformation into the legendary Betty Davis. Beyoncé, 43, proved once again that she knows how to captivate her audience, dressing up in outfits inspired by Prince's 1984 "Purple Rain" film and the girl group Apollonia 6.
The singer's Prince costume was a nod to his iconic style, featuring a purple trench coat with a popped angular collar and a billowy white blouse underneath. She accessorized with purple metallic thigh-high boots, matching gloves, and a purple guitar, mirroring Prince's eclectic fashion and musical charisma. To nail the look, she even styled her hair in tight, bouncy curls.
On the other hand, her Apollonia-inspired outfit was equally stunning. Beyoncé donned a plunging black lace bodysuit paired with a tailcoat jacket and bright purple boots. In one striking snapshot, the "Single Ladies" hitmaker took the bold step of going topless, covering her chest with her hands clad in shiny purple opera gloves.
The star captioned her Instagram post with "PURPLE NASTY" and a purple heart emoji, a playful yet respectful tribute to the late Prince, who died of an accidental overdose in 2016. Fans quickly filled the comments with praise, including Khloe Kardashian, who left several purple heart emojis.
This public display of admiration for Prince isn't new for Beyoncé. The two music icons famously shared the stage in a stunning duet at the 2004 Grammy Awards, performing a medley that included "Purple Rain" and her hit "Crazy In Love." Prince once praised Beyoncé's musical knowledge and potential, a testament to their mutual respect.
Beyond simply being a Halloween stunt, Beyoncé's costumes have fans speculating about a potential rock project in the works. Should it materialize, the album would be the third act in her three-part project, following her 2022 disco album "Renaissance" and the upcoming country album "Cowboy Carter."
As one fan eagerly commented, "Cmon act iii" and another added, "Never beating the Act III Rock Allegations." Whether or not these speculations hold true, Beyoncé's latest transformations have certainly reinforced her status as a versatile and electrifying artist.
