Beyoncé is what one might call a style chameleon. Most fashion icons hold this title (after all, that's what makes them icons) because they have mastered the art of transforming themselves into any aesthetic while exuding authenticity and originality. For example, Beyoncé's clothes, no matter the aesthetic or silhouette, always have her signature glamorous touch. Take, for example, Beyoncé's New Year's Eve outfit: while most people ring in the New Year in silver sequins and LBDs, Beyoncé defied our style expectations with an unexpected yet very brand new look (because it's apparently 2023 before we go out in an all-chrome look)

. Instead of adopting her signature year-round look of all silver, Renaissance singer Beyoncé paired a sultry sheer corset with a Cher Horowitz-inspired gray plaid skirt and blazer set. What if your favorite prep star (Charlotte York) got the 2016 Anatasia Beverly Hills highlighter palette? It's a preppy glam look that looks like it could have come straight out of a Los Angeles private school, but because it's Beyoncé, there's an undeniable cool factor to this outfit.

To ring in the New Year, Beyoncé graced our timeline with her festive fits. On her Instagram, Beyoncé showed off the matching gray Thom Browne set she wore to ring in the New Year, a high-fashion take on an all-girls school uniform. The set featured the brand's classic plaid print all over, but rather than leaning into Browne's uptown eclectic aesthetic, the singer paired the outfit with a sleek white bustier top that gave the outfit a high-glam energy.

While the bustier/blazer combination sounds clunky, Singer proves that detail is everything. Her white GCDS pumps matched the bustier and added to the overall glamorous vibe. For accessories, she added a pair of white-framed Oscar and Frank square sunglasses, a Maison Margiela top-handle purse, and a dazzling Prada phone case, also seen in the mirror selfie. She wore her now classic gold hair in soft curls, a sprinkling of silver shimmer on her eyelids, and a gold peach lip.

'Did you catch this one festive detail' The fourth slide from the end features Beyonce's seasonal nail art, a Santa hat-style red French tip that can be faintly noticed in her other OOTD photos. Here's another adorable detail: Beyonce's manicure was chosen by Blue Ivy.

Preempting the trends that will dominate this year, the megastar claims a preppy-core comeback. Thanks to Beyonce's high-glam take on the old blazer and plaid skirt uniform, the combination looks fresh and exciting. You've heard of dove chic and grunge grunge. This look proves that the Grammy-winning singer can make any style cool: from edgy Aria leggings to her signature Rennaisance chrome, and now, prep school uniforms.
