The Meaning Behind All of Beyoncé’s Coachella Outfits

Her yellow Balmain hoodie was a casual change for Beyoncé, and she styled the look with denim cutoffs and fringe-adorned Christian Louboutin boots that complemented the collegiate style. But what’s the meaning behind the Greek “BAK” letters seen on the sweatshirt? ABC News points out that indeed, she could have been calling out Greek life with her own Beta Delta Kappa sorority, while others think it translates to something more literal: “back,” meaning she finally returned to the spotlight. Other fan theories suggest the “B” and “K” are simply her initials, while the central delta symbol refers to “The Roc” symbol that she has previously thrown up live, honoring her husband’s Roc-A-Fella Records company.

The glittery mesh Balmain top she changed into read “Beyonce 2018,” but the crest on it also had an image of an Egyptian royal, a black first, a black panther, and a bee—which people are pointing out are representative of the Black Panther Party plus her fans, which she calls the “Beyhive.” Overall, the look was a reminder that Beyoncé is and has always been a champion of black rights.

Beyoncé kept it sexy in another Balmain look, wearing thigh-high black latex boots that she styled with a matching bodysuit and oversize jacket with bedazzled shoulder pads. Fans noticed that in addition to changing her outfits, Beyoncé also switched up the color of her nail polish.

Though she didn’t perform “Survivor” with Destiny’s Child, the song’s message of female empowerment is exactly what she put forth in this sparkly, one-shouldered camouflage Balmain bodysuit. Near the end of the show, she suffered from a wardrobe malfunction as her over-the-knee boots fell just below her knees, and the shouldered side of her suit started to fall out. You can see Beyoncé holding on to her chest, securing the look as she danced on stage.

A pink sequin jersey dress worn with black patent leather thigh-highs topped her original mesh iteration. The collegiate-like number still featured a crest representative of the Black Panther party, with images of a black fist and panther.

While performing with former Destiny's Child bandmates Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, Bey showed off her incredible gams in high-cut silver sequin hot pants, which were worn over flesh-colored fishnets. A matching wrap top with strong shoulders and a plunging neckline mirrored her confidence.

Like the previous weekend's show, Beyoncé wore a very similar sparkly cape and crown in honor of Nefertiti, but switched up the color palette, going from black to a standout silver shade.

Similar to the head-turning black latex bodysuit and jacket she donned at #BeyChella round one, the songstress wore another in a more tailored silhouette. She kept the sexy garters, which kept her patent thigh-highs from falling down.

Perhaps Bey's most memorable look from her first performance was the bumble bee yellow sweater, emblazoned with the letters ΒΔΚ. This time around, she chose a magenta variation, wearing the casual hoodie with the same pair of Daisy Dukes and Christian Louboutin metallic-fringed boots.
