When Beyoncé stepped out in West Hollywood in December 2013, she turned a temporary dietary challenge into a permanent pop-culture fashion moment. While embarking on a 22-day vegan journey with Jay-Z, the superstar was spotted by Vogue famously covering herself in pizza—visually, at least.

It was a rare, playful departure for Queen Bey, who used a head-to-toe graphic print to channel her cravings into a bold street-style statement.

Whether paired with sleek stilettos to elevate the kitschy print or kept casual with minimalist sneakers, the look proved that even the most literal food graphics can look high-fashion with the right confidence. Years later, this “pepperoni chic” ensemble remains a masterclass in how to wear kitsch without losing your edge.

Beyoncé never seemed the type to wear funky prints, but we all know how a strict diet can alter your mood and personality.

If we’re amused by Beyoncé wearing a pizza outfit, the person who conceptualized it is positively ecstatic.

Kiko Mizuhara, the designer behind the mouth-watering print, couldn’t retweet the picture below from @baddiebeystyle fast enough.

In her Japanese caption, she said that she “may die” from being too happy that Beyoncé wore the clothes she made. We’d feel the same way if we were in your shoes, Kiko!

Being a model herself, Kiko Mizuhara modeled her own designs from her Opening Ceremony capsule collection, including this top with the same pepperoni print as Beyoncé’s pants:

Now, on to the question on everybody’s minds: where can you get pizza pants like Beyoncé’s?

Aside from the Kiko Mizuhara for Opening Ceremony collection, we found the following pizza-slice-print leggings for only $28. Wear them with the matching T-shirt and turban for that “pizza with everything on it” look!
