AceShowbiz - Beyonce Knowles appeared unfazed by criticisms over use of the American flag in the cover art of her upcoming album. The "Break My Soul" hitmaker, who recently sparked debate for raising the U.S. flag in the artwork of "Cowboy Carter", rocked a patriotic scarf as seen in her newly-shared photos.
On Monday, March 25, the 42-year-old superstar took to Instagram to upload a series of pictures, which were compiled in a short clip, highlighting her nearly all-denim outfit. She showed off her hourglass figure in a skin-tight blue denim crop top that came with two long-sleeves and a high neck design.
Queen Bey also donned a pair of long matching jeans that had a high waist design. She enhanced the look with a scarf featuring the American flag graphic and a pair of blue denim pointed-toe boots with towering heels. She kept her belongings in a small matching handbag with rainbow embroideries on one of its sides.
The "16 CARRIAGES" songstress, who put on a white cowboy hat to complete the look, accessorized herself with a huge silver necklace and covered her eyes with a pair of black sunglasses. In addition, she styled her long honey blonde hair in waves and let it loose.
Along with the photos, Beyonce reminded her followers that she will be releasing her country album very soon. In the caption of the post, she simply penned, "4 days until act ii COWBOY CARTER."
The post came a few days after Beyonce garnered mixed responses for using the American flag in the cover art of "Cowboy Carter". Making use of X, formerly known as Twitter, some social media users suggested that she should have "waved the Black American flag."
Though so, others defended Queen Bey against the critics. One in particular theorized, "This album cover means so much more. Beyonce is reclaiming what Black Americans created, the American flag falls under that as well. The hidden stars were intentional. We built this country off of our backs. She's taking the reins & makin a statement. She's redefining our history."
