This year, Beyoncé blessed us with her iconic visual album Lemonade, topping charts and inspiring important cultural conversations in one fell swoop. Aside from the political messages that stood out in the album, we couldn't keep our eyes off of one thing: Bey's gorgeous outfits in the videos. As soon as we saw the look she rocked in "Hold Up," we knew that it was perfect for Halloween . . . which is why we've got your guide to re-creating it just in time for the holiday.
How to Create It Yourself

Here's what you'll need to rock Bey's look on Halloween:
- A mustard-yellow maxi dress, like this one ($385)
- A wooden baseball bat, preferably with the words "Hot Sauce" somewhere
- Strappy heels

If you don't have a bat (which is inscribed with "Hot Sauce" in the Lemonade video), you can simply carry a purse stuffed with a bottle of Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce. Wear your hair long and crimped, and you're good to go!
