It is highly unlikely that you will find a grandmother in this world whose dining room does not have a cupboard filled to the brim with lace tablecloths, a varnished wooden table adorned with doilies, and a china teapot constantly refilled with English breakfast.
Subtle lace trims and crochet will forever be synonymous with the baby boomer generation, but as with any great aesthetic, the fashion world of 2024 is making it its mission to catapult them into the zeitgeist, led by Beyoncé.
In a post shared today for her 313 million Instagram followers, Queen Bey put an ultra-stylish spin on granny chic style by wearing an all-white crochet jumpsuit with cutouts and a matching veil.
She paired the doily-like outfit, which would be perfect for alternative brides-to-be, with statement earrings and white strappy pumps that she laced around her ankles.

Crochet is generally in fashion all summer long. Alexa Chung, who was spotted on a sunny holiday outing last week, paired a set of mini crochet shorts with a knitted sweater and a headscarf while wearing the current season of Love IslandMaya Jama wore a white crochet look not unlike Queen Bey’s to host a night out at the mansion. Before that, the queen of New York street style, Emily Ratajkowski, wore a matching skirt and off-the-shoulder shirt to walk her dog, Colombo.

H! FashionChloe Gallacher’s style writer explains that we have the return of Chloé and her bohemian-chic runway looks to thank for the trend: “We’ve already seen a rise in the trend and expect even more for summer. Think fringes and ruffles, but in a more mature interpretation than we’ve seen before.”
If you’re one of the lucky ones wondering what to pack for your next summer vacation, take inspiration from Beyoncé and treat yourself to your own crochet look for the occasion.
