On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the Television Academy announced that Beyoncé, 43, won a Primetime Emmy as a costume designer for the Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming category for the ensembles designed for Netflix’s Christmas Game Day halftime show — a.k.a. Beyoncé Bowl.
Bwon alongside fellow costume designer Shiona Turini; assistant costume designers Erica Rice and Molly Peters, costume supervisor Chelsea Staebell; and head of workroom Timothy White.
The show in her hometown of Houston brought the live debut of songs from her “Cowboy Carter” album. And the Emmy takes Beyoncé halfway to an EGOT with her 35 Grammys. She still needs a Tony and an Oscar to complete the quartet, according to the AP news agency.
Beyoncé is also nominated in two other categories for Beyoncé Bowl – outstanding variety special (live) (as performer/executive producer) and outstanding directing for a variety special (in tandem with Alex Rudzinski).
Beyoncé has won 35 Grammys, more than anyone else in history. She received an Oscar nomination for best original song in 2022 for co-writing “Be Alive” from King Richard with DIXSON.
