Ladies get in formation with a military jacket like Queen Bey

Beyonce just broke the internet. Again. She did not come to play the Superbowl. She came to slay.

And that she did. In a custom made bodysuit by Aston Michael, leather military jacket and harness by DSquared and boots from Christian Louboutin, no less.

Beyonce has plenary powers when is comes to dictating style so we all must hurry to invest in some military inspired jackets. We've seen Balmain use the trend heavily with its #balmainarmy but now it's a MUST-HAVE with Bey leading us into formation.

Check out StyleBop's simple version of the jacket to the right and find some gold chains to adorn it yourself. We also found a previous season's light baby blue version below if you need more hardware on your jacket. We've also found some striking versions without causing deleterious warfare on your wallet.

Pair yours with a contrasting floral mini to illustrate the beauty of war and peace.
