Sophia Bush seemingly made good use out of her old wedding reception dress following her split from estranged husband Grant Hughes.
“Speaking of @beyonce … the queen said ‘wear silver’ and we said ‘yes ma’am.’ 🪩🪩🪩,” Bush, 41, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, September 5, alongside a series of photos from Beyoncé’s Los Angeles concert at SoFi Stadium the night before.
In the snaps, Bush slayed by wearing a metallic cocktail dress. Eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed the ensemble resembled the same outfit she wore to her and Hughes’ wedding reception in July 2022. She paired the mini dress with a black leather jacket, cowboy boots and a tan cowboy hat.
“She called her #Renaissance ‘A place to dream/escape/to feel free/adventurous/to create a safe place/without judgment/a place to be free/to scream/release/feel freedom/a beautiful journey/exploration.’ Can confirm 🐝,” Bush continued.
