Entertainment powerhouse Beyoncé Knowles-Carter lands her own fashion exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland.
Beyoncé continues to add to her musical legacy and distinguish herself from her musical peers by securing a spot at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a section previously reserved for Hall of Famers. Even though the singer is not eligible for induction into the Hall of Fame until 2022 as a Destiny’s Child member and 2027 as a solo artist, the singer will have a personal collection of notable outfits from videos and performances displayed on mannequins in the museum’s Legends of Rock section.
“We felt that [Beyoncé] really needed to take her rightful place alongside Aretha Franklin, The Supremes and Janice Joplin,” said Meredith Rutledge-Borger, Rock Hall curator. “Rock and roll has an intergenerational appeal and we want to make sure we’re hitting all the right notes and keeping up with what’s happening today and what’s legendary today.”
The exhibit will feature Beyoncé’s Gareth Pugh gold dress from the “Run the World (Girls)” video, the black leotard and Lorraine Schwartz titanium glove from the “Single Ladies” video, J Brand denim shorts and red Stuart Weitzman pumps from the “Crazy In Love” video, the 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show performance black leather-lace outfit and more.
The exhibit will debut in the Ahmet Ertegun Main Exhibit Hall tomorrow (Tuesday, July 22).
