Jay-Z & Beyonce Go For Gold With Their Halloween 2018 Tributes
In case you missed it…in the wee hours of last night, Beyoncé blew up the internet with her and hubby Hov’s Halloween get-ups! The billionaire Carters make it an annual tradition to dress up in complementary costumes, and this year they did just that.
After already slaying in Black-excellence earlier in the day, Beyoncé kept that same energy with this get up. She dressed as Olympic legend Flo Jo! Jay-Z complemented Bey as Black gold track medalist and activist Tommie Smith. Didn’t they kill it?!
Beyoncé went in with details, like Flo Jo’s signature acrylic nails. The outfit matched Flo Jo’s 1988 Olympic trials track suit to a T. Here is the original. May she rest in peace!
Hit the flip for more of Bey as Flo Jo, Jay as Tommie and fans going completely nuts (arguing) over her and Jigga’s Halloween costumes!

Beyonce constantly showing appreciation for black women who are often overlooked. Flo Jo was once considered the fastest woman on the planet and you don't ever hear about her. This is black excellence at it's peak. pic.twitter.com/XHySvDd63l

Flo Jo has been one of my fav women since running track in grade school. Seeing @beyonce as Flo brought back so many memories of feeling invincible as a teen. Flo is black excellence. She excelled while adding flavor of the culture in her hair, uniform and most notable, her nails pic.twitter.com/v4NKF7LS48

I loved how Black celebs paid homage as other Black celebs this #Halloween : Niecy Nash as Jennifer Lewis, Beyoncé as Flo Jo & Phoni Braxton, Missy as herself (BOSS!) and all the activist and comic Black Panthers .
It was a heavy theme this year✊🏾

And let's not forget Jay who dressed as Tommie Smith. An American track/field and football star who protested against racism and human oppression on his winner's podium at the Mexico Olympics in 1968.
Whew this history lesson…. pic.twitter.com/Fc4BsX1wIq

Not that most of Beyoncé's fans, or even really anyone born after 1995, know who Flo Jo is.
DGMW Flo Jo deserves a superstar tribute and it's nice Beyoncé did it, but I guarantee most of the people praising her for it aren't even slightly considering looking up who Flo Jo was.

Flo Jo wasn't overlooked by any means if you were old enough to remember that era. Everybody knew. But I'm all for Beyonce introducing the young ones. pic.twitter.com/4UPNcvA1D8
