Beyoncé is officially a Primetime Emmy winner.

The Television Academy announced the winners of the 77th Emmy Awards in juried categories on Tuesday.

Beyoncé won the gong as a costume designer for her Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl, in the category of Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming.

Beyoncé Bowl was a halftime show on NFL Christmas Gameday in Houston, Texas.

The awards will be presented at the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards, which will take place at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles over two nights - Saturday 6 September and Sunday 7 September. An edited presentation will be broadcast the following weekend.

Juried category entrants are screened by a panel of professionals, so there are no nominees. Deliberations include open discussions of each entrant's work with a thorough review of the merits of awarding the Emmy.

Beyoncé is also nominated in two other categories for Beyoncé Bowl - Outstanding Variety Special, Live (as performer/executive producer) and Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special, in tandem with Alex Rudzinski.

Beyoncé has won 35 Grammys, more than anyone else in history, and this award takes her halfway to a coveted EGOT - Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.

She received an Oscar nomination for best original song in 2022 for co-writing Be Alive from King Richard.
