That’s right people, the all-time, omg-is-she-seriously-wearing-THAT, accessory is BACK in action. Truth be told, it’s been back for some time (or some may argue that it never really left), but it’s true resurrection was confirmed by none other than the divine being that IS BEYONCE. What the [bleep] am I talking about? Easy. Beyonce be rockin’ a fabulous red fanny pack in her new music video Party, which (to me at least) confirms the resurrection. Because we all know that whatever Beyonce touches is gold – GOLD! Seriously though, the DIVA has managed to convince an entire movement of grown women to slip into a leotard and tights for Halloween. Like I said, GOLD.

How on earth has the fanny managed to resurrect itself onto the hips of fashion fiends across the globe? Read on, read on…
