Some of the biggest names in music walked the red carpet for the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards, which were held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California on Monday, April 1st. Beyoncé was one of the A-list attendees, staying true to her now-signature cowgirl aesthetic with her carefully selected outfit.
The former Destiny’s Child member, who released her eighth studio album Cowboy Carter on Friday, March 29th, turned heads in a vintage fringed button up from the Versace Fall 1997 collection, which she wore with most of the intricate gold buttons undone.

Beyoncé Accepts Prestigious 'Innovator Award' From Stevie Wonder
The Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé star didn't just attend the awards to wow on the red carpet, as she also accepted the prestigious Innovator Award, presented to her by the one and only Stevie Wonder.
Beyoncé acknowledged the music icon when she first took to the stage, saying: "Thank you for making a wave for all of us. I'm honored to receive this recognition from you. Whenever anyone asks me if there's anyone I could listen to for the rest of my life, it's always you."
"Thank you to iHeartRadio. Tonight you call me an innovator, and for that I'm very grateful," the "Halo" singer's speech began. "Innovation starts with a dream, but then you have to execute that dream, and that road can be very bumpy. Being an innovator is seeing what everyone believes is impossible. Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength. Being an innovator is leaning on faith, and trusting that God will catch you and guide you."
The "Run the World" singer continued: "So, to all the record labels, every radio station, every awards show, my hope is that we're more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art with no preconceived notions. I want to dedicate this award to all the innovators who have dedicated their lives and their art to creating shifts. So thank you for your sacrifices, your powerful voices, and your dauntless spirits."
"Thank you to Rosetta Tharpe, Miss Tracy Chapman, Linda Martell, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Andre 3000, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson and so many more who defied any label placed upon them," she added. "Thank you for executing your dream so we could all follow. And thank you to my team at Parkwood, y'all work so hard, and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
She then finished off by thanking husband Jay-Z (whose alleged infidelities are trending again!) and her children, saying: "My husband, my rock, my best friend, I love you. My three beautiful children who continue to be my inspiration and my biggest blessing."
