A few weeks ago, Beyoncé released a little music video for her new song "Formation"—maybe you've heard of it?
Naturally, it took the Internet by storm, as all things Beyoncé-related do. Mixed in with the buzz about race and Red Lobster lyrics was the obvious (for us, anyway) commentary on Queen Bey's amazing wardrobe throughout the video. We're still not over how hard she slayed every. single. look. So we're revisiting each outfit, ID-ing the pieces, and adding up the price tags.
Here's everything Beyoncé wore in "Formation" and how much it all cost—to the best of our knowledge.

And that's not including the several, potentially high price-point items which we couldn't find numbers for! Ultimately though, it was 100 percent worth it because Bey totally killed it in "Formation." Let's soak up the slayness one more time:
