Beyoncé hit the stage in Houston for her Cowboy Carter tour, and one of her most memorable outfits was a shimmering bodysuit from the Senegalese fashion brand Tongoro. The piece featured 444 golden Cowries and 44 Crystals for the first night of the Cowboy Carter tour in her hometown of Houston, Texas. Another interesting feature was a mirror-like design on the torso of the outfit.

Tongoro was founded by Sarah Diouf in Dakar in 2016. The inspiring company focuses on local talent by employing Senegalese tailors and sourcing materials from local markets. Diouf also centres her brand’s storytelling around African culture and identity.
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter concerts have been a parade of beautiful, cowboy-inspired outfits from prominent designers, so it was truly awesome to see an African label like Tongoro shine through.
