Cowboy couture doesn't necessarily mean over-the-top Stetsons and chaps—but it certainly can, especially when you're Beyoncé. In her latest Instagram post, however, Cowboy Carter took her now-signature western wear look to the seaside, sharing a video clip and a carousel of photos from the coastal getaway that showed her in what may be the most perfect summertime dress, ever. In the posts, which also include a cameo from the superstar's husband, Jay-Z, Queen B paired an airy white dress with a red, bandana-print bag and a similarly patterned silky white scarf in her hair.
The dress included stripes of white lace and featured two sculpted, ruched cups and delicate spaghetti straps. The same ruched detail was repeated on the dress's bodice and the fluttery hem hit at Beyoncé's hips. She added a bold red lip color and graphic, white-framed sunglasses to finish her look. Her curly blonde hair peeked out from under her head wrap, completing the vintage-inspired vibe of the whole post.

The video was set to the star's track "Bodyguard," which is included in her latest album, Cowboy Carter. The montage included shots of the couple's boat ride, including a lush fruit plate, a festive beverage, and plenty of blue water. Though there's no location tag on the post, there is an American flag featured on the boat, which could also be an homage to Cowboy Carter's brand of Americana and features on the cover art for the LP.

The clip was a rare couple moment for the duo, who rarely speak about their 16-year marriage.
“What Jay and I have is real,” Beyoncé told Essence of why she and Jay keep their relationship out of the spotlight. “It's not about interviews or getting the right photo op. It's real." She went on to say that she and her husband don't have wedding rings and have tattoos, instead, because "people put too much emphasis on that. It's just material, and it's just silly to me."
Beyoncé and Jay-Z share three children: 11-year-old Blue Ivy, and 6-year-old twins Rumi and Sir.
