Beyoncé’s London Art Tour Style: Snakeskin Pumps, Lace-Up Boots & Intentional Footwear

In mid-October 2014, while visiting London, Beyoncé and Jay-Z were photographed spending several days immersed in the city’s art scene—offering a rare glimpse of off-stage style grounded in deliberate fashion choices rather than spectacle.

Across gallery visits and late-night outings, Beyoncé’s looks followed a clear styling through-line: rich tones, structured silhouettes, and footwear that anchored each outfit with intention.

From snakeskin pumps paired with a monochrome burgundy suit to lace-up boots and refined strappy heels, her London appearances underscored a timeless principle of great dressing—when the clothes make a statement, the shoes provide clarity, balance, and polish.

The Bettie Page-style bangs received mixed reviews, with some fans calling them unusually short for Bey. However, she is Queen B and can do whatever she wants with her hair.
