ZANDRIA's Solar Eclipse Featured in The Zoe Report's Beyoncé Cowboy Carter Halloween Guide
By Lexi Whaley, Founder of ZANDRIA
When The Zoe Report set out to create the ultimate guide to pop culture-inspired Halloween costumes for 2024, they knew one thing: Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter era demanded a showstopping hat.
And they turned to ZANDRIA.
Solar Eclipse, one of ZANDRIA's hand-upholstered white cowboy hats, was featured in TZR's roundup as the perfect finishing touch for a Cowboy Carter Halloween costume—positioned alongside Beyoncé's official merch and luxury designer pieces.
This wasn't just a costume guide mention. This was validation that ZANDRIA belongs in the conversation with the biggest cultural moments of the year.
Why The Zoe Report Chose ZANDRIA for Beyoncé
2024 was the year of Cowboy Carter. Beyoncé's genre-defying country album didn't just dominate the charts—it put Western wear on the fashion map in a way we haven't seen in decades.
When The Zoe Report was styling their Cowboy Carter costume guide, they needed a hat that could live up to Beyoncé's vision: bold, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.
Enter: Solar Eclipse.
Why Solar Eclipse Worked:
1. It Matches the Aesthetic
Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter visuals are all about clean, striking, modern Western style. Solar Eclipse—hand-upholstered in crisp white fabric with a sculptural silhouette—captures that same energy without veering into costume territory.
2. It's Statement-Making Without Being Literal
The beauty of Solar Eclipse is that it doesn't scream "cowboy costume." It's a sophisticated, wearable piece that nods to Western heritage while feeling completely contemporary—exactly what Beyoncé herself embodies.
3. It Photographs Like Art
Beyoncé's entire brand is visual excellence. Solar Eclipse has the structure, texture, and presence to hold its own in photos—whether you're recreating her album cover or just posting a Halloween fit pic.
4. It's Built to Last
Unlike cheap costume hats that fall apart after one wear, Solar Eclipse is hand-upholstered in interior-grade fabric on a hard canvas foundation. This is a hat you'll wear long after Halloween is over.
What The Zoe Report Said
From their Halloween costume guide:
"This was truly the year of Beyoncé, whose Cowboy Carter album singlehandedly put Western wear on the fashion map. While the singer's patriotic chaps will be hard to source, an all-white jumpsuit will do the trick when layered over red and blue accents and topped off with an official Cowboy Carter sash and festive hat."
And that "festive hat"? Solar Eclipse by ZANDRIA.
Styled alongside:
- Show Me Your Mumu white jumpsuit
- Good American blue swimsuit
- Beyoncé's official Cowboy Carter sash
- Chazlyn red boots
ZANDRIA held its own next to Beyoncé's official merch and designer brands—because that's exactly where it belongs.
