If anyone doubted that Beyoncé’s star might be dimming, her outfits at the Las Vegas Formula 1 Grand Prix this past weekend provided all the confirmation needed. In a skin-tight leather Louis Vuitton jumpsuit, unzipped and braless, the singer flaunted her figure, signaling that the once-unassailable icon may be veering off her winning streak, according to the Daily Mail.

The look came off more like a low-budget cosplay costume than diva-level glamour. Beyoncé joined Lewis Hamilton for a spin in his Ferrari, later appearing in a red PVC Ferrari-inspired romper while posing with husband Jay-Z. The plunging neckline and high leg cuts made the outfit appear almost precariously held together, while stripper-style heels evoked a Vegas strip vibe.
At the same time, fans and body positivity advocates praised the singer’s natural curves, noting her rounded thighs and “mom tum” as an example of a celebrity resisting trendy quick-fix weight-loss methods like Ozempic.

Yet, shortly after the event, Beyoncé posted Instagram photos where she looked noticeably sleeker and more toned than in paparazzi shots, adding a layer of ambiguity to her public image. The irony of the F1 backdrop is hard to miss—this is the same sport that recently retired “grid girls,” citing sexism and outdated practices.
Despite being one of the most decorated artists in music history, these provocative outfits raise questions. As a role model, Beyoncé risks crossing a line, appearing more like a “promo girl” than an icon emphasizing the talent that made her famous.

Recent events also highlight new challenges to her popularity: her latest album received mixed reviews, and the accompanying Cowboy Carter Tour saw empty seats—a remarkable situation for a performer once considered unmissable. Featuring her 13-year-old daughter Blue Ivy on stage seemed more like a flashy gimmick to grab attention than a natural addition to her performance.
The bright lights of Las Vegas may have given Beyoncé the illusion of returning to pole position, but it might be time for her to ease up on the revealing ensembles and remind the world that it’s her talent—not her wardrobe—that made her a legend.
