LaQuan Smith dressed Beyoncé in a custom unexpected take on summer chic following the FIFA World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium.

The ensemble, styled by Ty Hunter, featured a cropped interpretation of a look from the CFDA member’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection paired with lace leggings. Defying seasonal expectations, the look demonstrated Smith’s signature ability to merge sensuality and structure, proving that outerwear can make a statement regardless of the temperature.

Founded by the Queens, New York-born designer at just 21 years old, the LaQuan Smith label has become synonymous with unapologetic glamour and confidence. Since officially launching his namesake brand in 2013, Smith, who has been a CFDA member since 2021, has built an internationally recognized label celebrated for its bold silhouettes, meticulous craftsmanship, and dynamic private clientele featuring Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Rihanna.
