Nobody does denim like Beyoncé. The superstar hits the laundromat in a pair of skintight Levi’s 501 jeans for the brand’s “Reiimagine” campaign released on Monday (Sept. 30).

Inspired by “the legacy of Levi’s,” the campaign reimagines the classic 501 jeans as told in a “series of chapters” starring Beyoncé.

“My song ‘Levii’s Jeans’ celebrates what I believe is the ultimate Americana uniform — something we all wear with pride,” Beyoncé said in a statement. “I am honored to work with Levi’s to create quintessential American iconography. Denim-on-denim has often been seen through a male lens, so this reimagining campaign, which celebrates the iconic female perspective, is important to me. I look forward to exploring innovative ways for our visions to align in empowering women and honoring their strength.”

The first chapter, titled “Launderette,” is inspired by a 1985 Levi’s ad. In the commercial, Bey walks into a laundromat wearing ‘90s Women’s 501 Jeans ($98), an essentials Sport T-shirt and a denim cowboy hat. She opens the washing machine, throws in some diamonds — instead of laundry detergent, because she’s a glamorous girlie — before pulling off her jeans (revealing Levi’s undies) and throwing them in the washer. And of course, her Cowboy Carter track “Levii’s Jeans” plays throughout the commercial.

Emmy-winning cinematographer Marcell Rév brought the visual to life, while Levi’s commissioned photographer Mason Poole for the campaign imagery.

Beyoncé’s Levi’s campaign will expand across television, out-of-home advertising, digital, social media, print and brand activations in addition to exclusive products. To kick off the campaign, digital projections launched in San Francisco, Houston, Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Paris, London and Berlin on Monday.

“In collaboration with Beyoncé*,* we explore the power of reimagination through this campaign, helping us to connect with our fans in new ways and supporting the growth of our women’s business as the definitive denim lifestyle brand,” said Levi’s.
