Idia Aisien On Cowboy Hats, Concert Tears, and That Night with Beyoncé in London

The London stop of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter tour may be over, but the memories are still vivid for many fans — and for Nigerian Style Star Idia Aisien, the experience was nothing short of magical. From custom denim looks to tear-jerking performances, Idia spoke with Blanck about what made that night unforgettable.

"Seeing Beyoncé in the flesh is surreal"

When asked what her favourite moment of the night was, Idia didn’t hesitate.

“Her energy, her voice, the subtle way she pushes societal and global issues that are important — it’s all so inspiring,” she said. “And of course, seeing her perform with her kids was everything.”

As expected, Beyoncé’s fashion moments were a major highlight. One look in particular left Idia stunned.

“The gold Stella McCartney cowboy pants with frills and the white T-shirt with black birds — was to die for!” she gushed.

Musically, her emotions ran deep.

“I thought I’d scream when they played Tyrant — it’s my favorite song. But honestly, I got emotional so many times, especially when If I Were A Boy started.”

On Her Outfit: A Custom Denim Dream

If you spotted Idia at the show, she was impossible to miss in a standout look made by London-based stylist Dami Oke.

“It was custom-made,” she said. “I knew I wanted the popular cut-out cowboy pants, a belt, hat, and denim jacket — and Dami added her magic. A western bolo tie with my initial ‘I,’ Texas coins on the jacket, and bang bang earrings. She gets fashion!”

A Longtime BeyHive Member Finally Gets Her Moment

Despite being a fan since she was 12, this was Idia’s first Beyoncé concert.

“I’ve bought every album, jammed to every song — but the concert never fit into my plans, and I’ve always had a fear of huge crowds. This year, I made an exception. I’m so glad I did.”

One Word to Describe the Night? “Inspiring.”

When asked to describe the experience in one word, she didn’t miss a beat.

“Inspiring, because there was no dull moment. Every outfit change came with cool visuals, and seeing her perform with her children, knowing how much energy was poured into the show — it was phenomenal.”

Is Beyoncé the Greatest of All Time?

“I agree more than I’ve ever agreed with anything!” she said with a laugh. “Beyoncé is the greatest entertainer alive.”

What’s Next for Idia?

Though nothing’s confirmed yet, there might be another concert on her summer calendar.

“My friend is asking me to go to a Chris Brown concert this weekend, so let’s see!”

Whether it was the music, the message, or the fashion, Idia Aisien’s Cowboy Carter experience is a reminder of just how powerful a live performance can be — especially when it’s Beyoncé at the helm.
