While Beyoncé may be forward-thinking (Surprise album! Lemonade!), last night, she took a style cue from decades past. She and Jay Z attended the New York City premiere of Usher and Robert De Niro's movie Hands of Stone wearing matching gray suits, as documented by Usher's excellent Snapchat:

Beyoncé's, however, was pinstriped, double-breasted, and a skirt suit.

That's something you haven't seen the likes of since Ally McBeal, the legal dramedy that ran from 1997 to 2002.

Just yesterday, a report in the Wall Street Journal noted Michael Kors, Tory Burch, and Courrèges all brought back Ally McBeal-style skirt suits for fall 2016. So it turns out Beyoncé is just ahead of the trend. Of course.

On top of the power suit, Beyoncé had a throwback hairstyle as well. The half up-do and curls feels very Destiny's Child-era, no?
