Last Thursday, the queen of everything posted some royal-worthy photos of herself to Instagram that had us scrolling up for a second look. Beyonce wore a denim playsuit last week, and she has us bowing down. Double tap? You know it. If it was possible to quadruple tap, you also know we would have done that, too. Three gorgeous photos of the mega star dressed in denim with beachy backdrops graced her 'gram page and almost made us forget about Beyoncé's amazing Met Gala dress from earlier that week (I didn't think it was possible either).
The denim playsuit, with a cheeky, triangular tummy cutout got us wondering how we could get out hands on it pronto. The romper is from Stella McCartney's Resort 2015 collection and was said to be inspired by the "freedom of the 1970s." The 70s trend is back and this look on B will only heighten the vibe for sure. Mrs. Carter is always sartorially on point and this more relatable getup makes us feel all the closer to our favorite diva and all the more able to obtain her flawless style. I don't know about you, but I can definitely envision myself wearing this adorable yet sexy playsuit out to lunch with friends (Solange and Kelly?!) this summer.

What's so great about denim playsuits is that they are often the perfect thing for creating that seamless day to night look. Queen B's Stella McCartney romper would appear effortless and chill paired with sandals but then could be totally dressed up and hot as hell if she simply slipped on some killer pumps.
In my humble opinion (and Beyoncé's), the denim playsuit is a must-have item to have at the forefront of your closet this spring and summer. But if you're looking for more affordable denim romper options because you're a Millennial on a budget like me or you just want to view some more looks, check out the list below!
1. Collared And Sleeveless
This adorable denim romper is a great option for a more casual office environment or maybe lunch with grandma because, well, it's a little less low-cut than Beyoncé's look.

2. Acid Wash
This romper gives more of the '90s feel with the acid wash denim, and the elastic waistband as well. This is a cute playsuit to wear hanging with friends or to dress up a little more for a date but not look like you're trying too hard.

3. Button Up Baby
I'm really digging this short denim jumpsuit because it kinda feels like a denim jacket or denim shirt combined with jean shorts. And the pockets add a nice touch as well (who doesn't appreciate pockets, man?).

4. Kimono Sleeves For The Win
This playsuit option is particularly awesome because it is from ASOS Curve's collection and couldn't be radder. I love how it's a darker denim and the sleeves are something you wouldn't often see on a denim romper. This is a very cute day to night ensemble.

5. Peekaboo Belly View
This one reminds me the most of Queen B's Stella McCartney look. It's cool and fresh and sexy. The frayed hem and the twist in front are super cool as well. I kind of want to wear this every night this summer.

6. T-Shirt Times
This romper is so perfect and relaxing for when you just feel like slipping on something chill and easy to run out and do some errands in, but still want to look polished and put together. I might just have to purchase it!

7. Thin Straps
This is an exceptionally cool playsuit in a lighter denim wash. It would look very cute paired with some wedges for a night out on the town with friends.

8. Buttons And Tie
The buttons and tie detail on this one are just spectacular. And am I noting some slightly retro undertones? I think Marilyn would approve.

9. Tank Top
This is just another chill, fun romper that is kind of similar to the t-shirt look, but it's sleeveless. This is a playsuit I'd definitely wear to a picnic paired with some sweet sandals or flats.
