Beyoncé Wins Her First Emmy for Beyoncé Bowl Costumes

Beyoncé has won her first Emmy as costume designer for the Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl. The award, presented by the Television Academy in the category of Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction, or Reality Programming, recognises her work alongside Shiona Turini, assistant costume designers Erica Rice and Molly Peters, costume supervisor Chelsea Staebell, and head of workroom Timothy White.

Aired on 25 December as the NFL halftime show, the special featured the live debut of tracks from Cowboy Carter. The Western-inspired looks paid tribute to Black Southern culture in the United States and to the rodeo.

With this recognition, the artist moves a step closer to achieving EGOT status. It is Beyoncé’s first Emmy win after more than ten nominations, and the special has also earned two further nominations: Best Variety Special and Directing, in which she will compete against JAY-Z. The winners in these categories will be announced in September at the Creative Arts Emmys.
