Today show host Sheinelle Jones stole the show as Beyonce for this year’s Halloween costume celebration.
The 47-year-old co-host had viewers crying tears of joy as she channeled the iconic hitmaker in a racy white bodysuit, complete with a cowboy hat and chaps.
Jones even treated audiences to an impressive Cowboy Carter-inspired dance routine, which she performed live at Rockefeller Center Plaza in New York City along with a crew of backup dancers.
Her fabulous look was a recreation of Beyonce’s 2024 NFL halftime show and came just months after she shared the tragic news of her husband Uche Ojeh’s death in May.
‘This is like a dream come true,’ Jones said of her outfit after she had taken to the stage to show off her dance skills.
Speaking to Daily Mail, she added that she made up her incredible routine with the help of her children and that she hopes it captures the attention of Tina Knowles so that it can then be relayed to Beyonce.
‘In this moment I am so happy and rocking it,’ she said.
Viewers were moved by Jones’s stunning impersonation and couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed with joy.

Taking to X, one said: ‘Cried at @SheinelleJones dancing as Beyoncé this morning. Seeing her smile makes my heart happy.’
‘After everything’s she’s been through, it’s so nice to see her smile and be happy. She killed it!’ another wrote.
A third added: ‘This makes me wanna shed a tear of joy.’
In May, Jones announced that her husband Ojeh had died aged 45 following a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma.
The couple, who share three children together, were childhood sweethearts.
Reflecting on how she’s coping with her grief, Jones added to Daily Mail: ‘In other moments, I’ll put a pair of trainers on and look down and realize that he [Ojeh] gave them to me for Christmas two years ago and I wont be getting anymore presents from him… being a widow is brutal, but there are so many of us out there.’
It was all treats and no tricks for the Today show hosts as they showed off their incredible Halloween costumes on Friday morning.
The theme of this year’s extravagant Halloween special was ‘coast to coast,’ with the TV personalities looking incredible as they prepared to celebrate the spooky day with costumes.
