Beyoncé can add Emmy Award winner to her ever-growing list of accolades.

On Tuesday, Aug. 12, the Television Academy announced that Beyoncé, 43, won a Primetime Emmy as a costume designer for the Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming category for the ensembles designed for Netflix’s Christmas Game Day halftime show — a.k.a. Beyoncé Bowl.

Costume designer Shiona Turini, assistant costume designers Erica Rice and Molly Peters, costume supervisor Chelsea Staebell and head of workroom Timothy White also received an Emmy for their work costuming Beyoncé Bowl, per Deadline.

The Animation, Costume, Emerging Media Programming and Motion Design categories will be presented at the 77th Creative Arts Emmy Awards. The first round of winners were announced on Aug. 12.

The juried awards will be presented to the winners at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Saturday, Sept. 6, and Sunday, Sept. 7, a week before the Primetime Emmys.

Two more Emmy Awards could be in her future. The mother-of-three is also up for the Outstanding Directing for a Variety Special Emmy with Alex Rudzinski, along with the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) category, where she will face off against husband Jay-Z.

Jay-Z, 55, is nominated for his involvement in the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show, which starred Kendrick Lamar.

The music mogul makes the final decision about the Super Bowl Halftime performer with Roc Nation through a partnership with the NFL — and could be recognized by the Television Academy for it.

At Beyoncé Bowl, Queen Bey took the field during halftime on Dec. 25 when the Baltimore Ravens faced off the Houston Texans in the musician’s hometown at NRG Stadium.

This marked the first time that Beyoncé performed songs from her Grammy-winning album Cowboy Carter album live. During the halftime show, she sang “Blackbiird,” “16 Carriages” and “Ya Ya.”

She also surprised audiences by bringing out Post Malone for “Levii’s Jeans” and Shaboozey for “Sweet Honey Buckiin’.” Beyoncé’s daughter Blue Ivy also took the field for the final song of the set, “Texas Hold ‘Em.”
