On September 28, Beyoncé’s new whiskey company, SirDavis, was a presenting sponsor for the California Crown horse race at Santa Anita Park. The singer and founder herself graced the sporting event with her presence and shared a look at her day on Instagram. Highlights included her having a moment with Cher.
So, how does Beyoncé dress for an early fall day at the race track? With a full gray plaid look from Retrofête. Beyoncé combined the fashion house’s Charlene coat with its Lucina blazer and Francie skirt for the event. She finished the outfit off with Balenciaga knife pumps, glasses, and a black wide-rimmed hat.
Beyoncé added a rare caption to her gallery of photos, writing, “Look at that horse.”
The entrepreneur just announced the launch of SirDavis in late August. In September, she spoke to GQ about why she got into the whiskey business. She explained, “I’ll never forget the first day I had whiskey. It spoke to me nice. I remember thinking, Why have I never had this before? It was strong and warm, just the right amount of challenge. I loved the process, the ritual of it. Whiskey isn’t something you just shoot down. It’s a commitment. You gotta have patience. I like that. Then I got into vintage Japanese whiskey and started doing tastings. It opened up a whole new world. I love everything about whiskey. The color, the smell, the way it dances in the glass.… And I love the stories that come with it. Every bottle has a history. I also like introducing whiskey to people who don’t know they love it yet. I think a lot more women would love it if they tasted it, and if they were really spoken to by the whiskey world.
“Whiskey isn’t just for old men in smoky bars; it’s for anyone who appreciates depth, complexity, and a bit of mystery. The entire aging process is a labor of love, with attention put into every step, from the grains malting to the handcrafted barrels, and I appreciate all of it. Making whiskey is an art form. That’s what I love and respect about it. As the great Willie Nelson once said: Sometimes you don’t know what you love until somebody puts you on to some real good shit. So, to all the whiskey lovers out there, you’re welcome!”
