Beyoncé Should Luge. She Already Has the Outfit.Beyoncé can do no wrong. We imagine how she could repurpose her wardrobe to win Best Dressed in Sochi. If singing were a sport, Beyoncé would have her fair share of gold medals. At 32, she’s racked up a lifetime’s worth of career accomplishments: she’s won 17 Grammys, sold tens of millions of albums, performed at two presidential inaugurations, and, most prestigiously, landed a starring role in this Vizio commercial. But if Queen Bey wants an actual gold medal, she’s going to have to earn it the old-fashioned way. Luckily for her, a number of her most memorable outfits translate remarkably well to the ice, the luge track, and the slopes. In fact, if Beyoncé does make a triumphant showing in Sochi, it will only seem surprising if you haven’t been paying attention to her style. beyonce-should-luge-she-already-has-the-outfit_figure skating_600c600 Figure Skater Beyoncé With its dramatic pearl epaulettes and partial peplum overskirt, this embellished leotard could easily pass as a figure-skating dress. Add some snow-white skates, and Bey’s ready to land a few triple axels (and maybe some backflips, too). beyonce-should-luge-she-already-has-the-outfit_600c390 Luge Beyoncé This dazzling sapphire-blue bodysuit is so tight it looks painted on. Luckily, that translates well to the luge track, where Bey complements the aerodynamic suit with a helmet and pointy-toe stilettos luge spikes. beyonce-should-luge-she-already-has-the-outfit_hockey_600c390 Hockey Goalie Beyoncé Looking like a sexy C-3PO, Beyoncé is well protected from pucks and errant flying teeth in this surprisingly form-fitting robot suit. Since this armored costume already has a helmet, once Bey slips on skates, a face mask, and gloves, she’s ready to tend goal. beyonce-should-luge-she-already-has-the-outfit_skiing_600c390 Downhill-Skiing Beyoncé Add sleeves to this spiderweb-like bodysuit and it’s ready for competition on the slopes. (Even Bey can’t make hypothermia look good.) With a helmet, goggles, skis, and poles, she’s all set to dart down a mountain or carve “Hi Blue Ivy” in the snow. Illustration: Dav Yendler, Groupon
