“PURPLE NASTY,” she captioned the Instagram post shared on Friday (November 1).
But Queen Bey’s Halloween glam didn’t stop there. On Friday, the Texas-born star posted photos of herself in a third costume: Betty Davis, the singer and former wife of trumpeter Miles Davis.
“BETTY DAVIS IN MY BONES,” Beyoncé wrote, adding an electric guitar emoji.
The 43-year-old sported a zebra-printed bodysuit, black-and-white high-heeled boots, and a wig—a tribute to Betty’s This Is It single cover from her 1975 funk album Nasty Gal.

In the comments of the posts, thousands of fans theorized that the singer will explore a funk-rock sound in the third installment of her trilogy project.
“Dressed as ACT III soft launch I know that’s right,” one user wrote.
“IS ACT 3 ROCK/BLUES???” another asked.
“So in love with this! Come on, rock era! I need this ’cause Black Girls Rock!” a third fan added, while a separate user said, “Never beating the Act III Rock allegations.”
The Grammy winner announced in 2022 that Renaissance would be part of a trilogy, which she continued with the release of Cowboy Carter in March 2024
Beyoncé’s 2022 dance album Renaissance was the first in her trilogy project, while Cowboy Carter, her country and gospel-tinged album released in March 2024, marked the second installment.
