Beyoncé Goes Off-Duty in the Fun and Flirty Beach Dress

It’s hard to know where to look first when it comes to Beyoncé’s wardrobe, between her fashion-forward Instagram posts, her directional music videos with husband Jay-Z, and the straight-from-the-runway ensembles seen on her On the Run II tour. Case in point: the multitasking superstar was joined by Jay-Z and daughter Blue Ivy in Cannes yesterday, where she swapped out her thigh-high Gucci boots and Michael Costello dresses for a festive, printed frock fit for lounging on the sand or elegantly eating dinner à la plage.
Beyoncé has long been a fan of bold prints—see all the gothic Versace in the “Apeshit” video, or the times she’s twinned with Blue in Dolce & Gabbana—and yesterday’s dress was the ideal frock for catching some much needed R&R. The tangerine dress was infused with island-friendly frills at the shoulder and hem for added flounce, while a traditional beach hat picked up the effect up top. Round, retro-inspired shades and oversize hoop earrings were her only accessories—both ideal for the evening—but the singer’s bare feet and million-watt smile were her most winning accoutrements.
