Beyoncé fans are eagerly awaiting the next album, which fans have dubbed as her Act III album. Per usual, Beyoncé is a master at teasing her fans into breathless fervor with almost anything she does. So when Bey dropped a carousel of gorgeous photos in a purple ruffly Saint Laurent gown early this morning, fans got right to work, and they're now convinced the photos hint at her new album on several fronts.
Here's what hints Beyoncé fans have decoded so far:
Is Beyoncé's new album almost here?
Beyoncé superfans have spotted a few direct references to her Lemonade album among the new images. For one, the brightly color ruffled dress has the same unapologetic power diva flow as her yellow Lemonade gown by Peter Dundas for Roberto Cavalli. But more specifically, the image of her coming down the stairs invokes an exact image on the stairs in her "Hold Up" video. In both visuals, Beyoncé is descending. So maybe that's the message—a new Beyoncé album is on its way. Could this be the first teaser for the new album?
Several commenters on Beyoncé's post think so:
"SHE COMING""i smell an announcement coming ???""its timeeeeee""Bey you been a little TOO active ?""And so it beginith""You better serve ACT III tease ?❤️?""Act iii crumbs ?""The queen stepping out""omggg she cominggggg ???"Check out some side-by-side photos, linking the new photoshoot to visuals from Lemonade:
View this post on InstagramOne Beyoncé fan on TikTok called a "Beyhive midnight emergency" and takes the Lemonade visual connection even further, asking, "Are we getting an alternate Lemonade?" What would that look like? Only Beyoncé can tell us.
Of course, Bey could simply be giving a 10-year anniversary nod to Lemonade. April 23, 2026, marked a decade since the visual project and sixth album, Lemonade, was released.

Will Beyoncé's next album will be inspired by Prince?
Rumors have long been swirling that Bey's new Act III album will be rock-focused, the third in a trilogy of works reclaiming musical genres with a deeply Black historical influence—her albums Renaissance dove into dance music and Cowboy Carter into country. But now the latest purple-fied photo drop has fans wondering if there's a connection to one Black musical genius forever linked to his heavy rock guitar perfection—and that's Prince.
Fans in the comments are seeing purple:
"SHE COMING…? come on Purple Rain!""Purple rain ohhh baby ACT 3 IS COMING ????""You think you're slick with the purple color?""Purple, prince, visuals…""Im feeling Rock & Roll loadingggggg""SHE IN HER PRINCE ERA""PURPLE RAIN ??""Purple REIGN!""Laughing in the purple rain"See Beyoncé's latest Instagram photo drop and that purple Saint Laurent gown:
