Beyoncé Granted Two EGOT Awards, Only Two More to Go
In the world of entertainment, the prestigious EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) award is a coveted achievement for any artist. As of August 2025, Beyoncé finds herself one step closer to this illustrious title, having recently added an Emmy to her impressive collection of awards.
Beyoncé's latest victory came in the category of Outstanding Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming, for the Netflix special Beyoncé Bowl. This Emmy win was shared with Shiona Turini, Erica Rice and Molly Peters, Chelsea Staebell, and Timothy White.
The Beyoncé Bowl aired during the halftime of the NFL Christmas game between the Baltimore Ravens vs. Houston Texans, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. However, this Emmy win was not for Beyoncé's performance, but for the costumes on the Netflix special.
It is worth noting that Beyoncé is not the only artist vying for EGOT status. Cynthia Erivo, who is just one Oscar away from achieving EGOT status, is another prominent contender. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who needs a Tony Award to complete his EGOT, and Adele, who requires a Tony Award to become an EGOT winner, are also in the running.
John Legend and Elton John, past EGOT winners, are referenced here as context but are no longer contenders for the EGOT.
The Emmy awards for which Beyoncé is still up for will be announced at the ceremony next month. If she wins, she will bring her one step closer to joining the exclusive EGOT club.
