The newly released Beyoncé x Balmain collection will capture the hearts of fans who fell in love with the star's outfits at Coachella, as the collaboration offers recreated ready-to-wear pieces of the same styles.
At Coachella this year, Beyoncé sported comfort-focused hoodies in bold colorways and this new collaborative collection gives fans the chance to get their hands on the fashionable pieces with Balmain's luxurious stamp on them.
According to Balenciaga, the style of the two colorful hoodies pays tribute to "the signature varsity styles and legacy of more than 100 [of] America's historically black colleges and universities." As such, proceeds from the Beyoncé x Balmain collection will help to support the United Negro College Fund and its work as one of the leading minority education organizations in the nation.
