The Western trend isn’t going anywhere thanks to Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter. Even in the ‘90s and early aughts, a cowboy hat or boots were seen on red carpet events like Queen Latifah’s 1998 Billboard Awards tan leather outfit. The female emcee was always about women empowering other women and emulated that in her music and her acting roles. In Living Single, she played a headstrong magazine founder who always dressed to the nines. Queen Latifah’s style is typically balanced between feminine and masculine with structured suits paired with heels. In the early years of her foray in the music industry, she’s remembered for wearing dashikis and Kufi hats.
Her look below just shows that her style is versatile and timeless. She was ahead of her time in the late ‘90s, unknowingly. Now, this outfit could be fitting for any Queen Bey concerts in the near future. The buttery textured leather suit set paired with boots in a similar colorway was a go-to for the rapper and actress. Monochromatic looks in general were a ‘90s staple and it’s still trendy now.
