See Every Next-Level Outfit Beyonce Rocks on Stage for The ‘On the Run II’ Tour 

Our favorite musical couple, Beyoncé   and Jay-Z   (a.k.a. the reigning Queen and King of Hip-Hop and R&B) are back at it! The duo in matrimony and music kicked off their second tour together, ‘On the Run II’ in Cardiff, Wales, on Wednesday, June 6. And because it’s Bey and Jay it was a spectacle in the best way possible.

Naturally, we could not get enough of Beyoncé’s next-level looks. The diva made a number of costume changes throughout the performance, each better than the last. A preview of what’s to be expected: iridescent silver bodysuits with matching jackets and thigh high boots, PVC outfits and hats, leopard bustiers, bejeweled body gloves — oh and a diamond ski mask, too. Take a seat and revel in the greatness that is all of the looks Beyoncé is serving on the ‘On the Run II’ Tour.

Our favorite musical couple, Beyoncé   and Jay-Z   (a.k.a. the reigning Queen and King of Hip-Hop and R&B) are back at it! The duo in matrimony and music kicked off their second tour together, ‘On the Run II’ in Cardiff, Wales, on Wednesday, June 6. And because it’s Bey and Jay it was a spectacle in the best way possible. Naturally, we could not get enough of Beyoncé’s next-level looks. The diva made a number of costume changes throughout the performance, each better than the last. A preview of what’s to be expected: iridescent silver bodysuits with matching jackets and thigh high boots, PVC outfits and hats, leopard bustiers, bejeweled body gloves — oh and a diamond ski mask, too. Take a seat and revel in the greatness that is all of the looks Beyoncé is serving on the ‘On the Run II’ Tour.

Athleisure Meets Fantasy 

Bey rocked a mix of the two biggest trends of the last year, Unicorn iridescence and athleisure, by rocking a silver anourak, a matching bodysuit and thigh-high boots with a rainbow-reflective sheen. 

Formation Remix 

Reduxing her iconic wide-brimmed hats from her “Formation” days, Beyonce wore a PVC version to match her PVC off-the-shoulder bustier with boots that attached via an uber racy garter belt of the same material.

Bodysuit Babe

Referencing her now iconic “Single Ladies” leotard, Beyonce rocked a souped-up version of the style with structured ruffles and sparkling embellishments. 

Bey joined her husband on stage in a gothic inspired deconstructed bodice and skirt that not only sparkled under the lights but revealed some serious leg (and killer leather thigh-high boots). 

Leopard Lady 

In one of her sexier looks of the night, Queen B rocked a leopard print bustier paired with an elaborate leather garter belt and dominatrix boots.

Glitter Goddess

Beyonce rocked a crystal-encrusted bodysuit and matching blazer to take the stage with her hubby. 

Gucci Gang 

The singer topped denim cut-offs and a white tee with a diamond body chain, Gucci thigh-high boots and a matching Gucci print zip up. The finishing touch: a diamond-encrusted ski mask.

Beyoncé's "On the Run Tour II" Fashion: All the Looks

By Halie LeSavage

Beyoncé has officially embarked on her 'On the Run Tour II'—one of the summer's most highly anticipated events, and quite the follow-up to the two-hour extravaganza that was Beychella . And the first images from the opening night in Cardiff, Wales, only build up the hype. Plus, as she did during her Coachella performance in April, Beyoncé lined up some seriously impressive looks—of the highest designer caliber, of course—to wear onstage.

The 'On the Run Tour II' isn't your run-of-the-mill performance. So naturally Beyoncé clocked in seven costume changes over the course of the night, all with unmissable shine and DGAF attitude. There are thigh-high boots, Zenon -chic metallics, crystal-mesh bodysuits—from brands like Gucci, LaQuan Smith, and Givenchy. If you missed out on tickets to see Bey and Jay-Z this summer (and admire her next-level costumes IRL), you can enjoy a front-row view to the 'On the Run Tour II' fashion right here. It's pretty much the next best thing, right?

We bring you the trends. You make them your own. Sign up for our daily newsletter to find the best fashion for YOU.

34 of Beyoncé’s Most Beautiful Customized Outfits from the Renaissance World Tour

Photo: Getty

We just got our very first glimpse at Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour looks, and they did not disappoint. Though it’s been almost five years since Beyoncé was last on tour with On the Run II, the singer is back on the road with her long-anticipated Renaissance world tour. She kicked it off with a buzz-worthy first performance in Stockholm, Sweden, on May 10, and, of course, she’s dressing the part for the occasion.

Beyoncé’s big return to touring called for a wardrobe fit for a queen. Dressed by stylists Shiona Turini, KJ Moody, and Julia Sarr-Jamois, the star had a collection of custom looks from some of the biggest names in fashion on opening night alone. Alexander McQueen, David Koma, Loewe…. You name it, Beyoncé most likely has it.

Until late September, Beyoncé will be going from city to city to perform her hit songs (and model some extravagant outfits, evidently) for her beloved fans all around the world. It’s set to be the summer of Beyoncé, and Beyhives know it well.

As the tour goes on, who knows what else Queen Bey will have under her belt? Scroll on to see Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour looks. (And then manifest tickets with us. Or, if you’re one of the lucky ones who already have a seat, get some inspiration for what you’ll be wearing.)

Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ World Tour Is a Full Fashion Parade

‘it should cost a billion to look this good'.

Beyoncé  kicked off her highly anticipated  Renaissance  World Tour in Stockholm , Sweden in early May and has since touched down in Brussels , Paris and London.

Belting out fan-favorite hits and new chart-topping tracks, the  record-breaking Grammy winner has been decked out in the most surrealist and club-ready fashions from the industry’s top designers , courtesy of stylist Shiona Turini.

The 2023   Renaissance   World Tour marks Beyoncé’s first tour since her 2018  On the Run II  Tour alongside Jay-Z , which celebrated their collaborative record  Everything Is Love . Before this, her last solo headlining tour was the  Formation  World Tour, which took place in 2016 with music from her beloved album  Lemonade . Next, Beyoncé will keep traveling across Europe, Canada and North America, before concluding the tour on September 27 at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Don’t miss any of her on-stage looks by catching up on her most eye-catching styles, below.

Beyoncé adorned a custom Ivy Park look during her Hamburg, Germany show, giving fans a peek at the upcoming collection, in a light brown shimmering long-sleeve minidress with a wrap skirt and matching “IVY”-printed thigh-high boots.

Carolina Herrera

Beyoncé was red hot in a crimson custom Carolina Herrera stretch crepe minidress with an ultra-plunging neckline by creative director Wes Gordon, teamed with a matching silk taffeta hood, red gloves, red stockings, red Jimmy Choo pumps and custom Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings that spelled out “Renaissance,” all styled by Julia Sarr-Jamois .

Iris van Herpen

The superstar appeared in a custom Haute Couture “Heliosphere” gown by Dutch designer Iris van Herpen , crafted from 980 falcate shapes and 3D constructed by casting silver-marbled silicone into mirrored laser-cut outlines. With a halo-shaped neckline, the minidress featured long sleeves and an iridescent flowing glass-organza cape.

“It has been a huge honor to design and create the custom ‘Heliosphere Gown’ for  Beyoncé . In her epic Renaissance tour,  Beyoncé embodies feminine empowerment,” van Herpen said in a statement. “She symbolizes that confidence radiates from within and that beauty thrives in diversity. Her style is a kaleidoscope of elegance that inspired me and my team in every stitch, every bead and every petal — along the 700-hour journey of creating her halo-shaped gown.”

Beyoncé teamed the ethereal creation with custom Tiffany & Co. Move Drop Earrings that resembled a diamond-encrusted fish skeleton, matching the slice-and-dice nature of her futuristic frock.

Beyoncé wore a custom corseted Gucci leotard in black faille with duchesse satin detailing, drenched in draped crystal fringe over a sheer long-sleeve crystal embellished underlay, teamed with a silver metallic dome hat and custom Tiffany & Co. Victoria bedazzled eyewear while performing at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Georges Hobeika

Beyoncé adorned a custom-made sheer illusion, silver sequined and pearl-encrusted Georges Hobeika catsuit with black opera gloves and custom Tiffany & Co. jewels, styled by Karen Langley, during her concert in Cologne, Germany.

Rocking Barbie pink , she shined in a sequin gown with a halter keyhole neckline and two thigh-high slits, and accessorized with matching opera gloves from her own label, Ivy Park .

“I started designing this collection over a year ago,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram . “I was so engulfed in all things RENAISSANCE and was inspired by Studio 54 , Bob Mackie and the disco era. I wanted to do a modern twist using the signature IVY PARK neon and bring disco to the beach in this swim collection. I’m so happy to share this with you and even more proud to launch it for the first time on the RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR. I’m proud to be among the very talented Black designers featured in last night’s show to celebrate Juneteenth .”

LaQuan Smith

In another look by a Black designer in honor of Juneteenth, Beyoncé chose a disco-ball bespoke bodysuit from LaQuan Smith. The hand-embroidered shattered glass catsuit featured a deep plunging halter neckline, teamed with silver metallic custom Malone Souliers pumps styled by KJ Moody and Vance Gamble. The designer commented on Beyoncé’s photo on Instagram. “You look so stunning! I’m so happy the jumpsuit came to life in the most epic way. What an honor to have you wear my design ❤️.”

An homage to her Bey Hive, Beyoncé embodied a high-fashion bumble bee in a custom Balmain design by Olivier Rousteing, featuring a black and yellow embroidered bodysuit and matching wide-brim hat.

“In the industry where we have to all fight , I want to thank you to support last night all the black designers that had created their own space in this tough industry. This was THE CELEBRATION,” said Rousteing . “It has been tough , it has been hard, and change would never happen without you pushing since day one to make a better future where we can all express our creativity . You have been one of the first to make changes happen . I am sure you have been through a lot and last night it was about CHANGES ! The Renaissance world tour is about freedom , expression , and LOVE. Your support , your vision and your strength to not create an evolution but making a REVOLUTION ,will and is , part of the History. Thank you for reminding us that fights are not over and let’s keep pushing for a better world for the next generations. This is THE RENAISSANCE , a rebirth.”

Beyoncé was too “HEATED” and had to “fan herself off” in her custom shimmering red, white and champagne bodysuit by up-and-coming London-based designer Feben, styled by Shiona Turini .

Feben previously created costumes for Beyoncé’s music video for “ Brown Skin Girl .” She went on to express her gratitude for the musician on Instagram . “Thank you for inviting me into your world. What an incredible moment to be a part of, and a pivotal one for myself, and my inner child.” Feben said. “It means the world to be supported and seen as a black female designer in the industry, thank you @shionat . Grateful for my amazing team- we would not be here without you.”

Beyoncé wore a design from Ferragamo’s creative director Maximilian Davis in a shimmering metallic gunmetal asymmetrical minidress featured a cascading cape with matching opera gloves, which she wore with coordinating thigh-high boots, Tiffany & Co. jewels and bedazzled sunglasses.

Beyoncé wore a custom Off-White red leotard with a matching bomber jacket, wide-brimmed metallic hat and gartered glistening thigh-high boots designed by creative director Ibrahim Kamara , inspired by his debut Fall/Winter 2023 “Lunar Delivery” collection and styled by  Shiona Turini. 

Channeling “robo-couture,” Beyoncé wore a custom silver-armored Balmain bodysuit by Olivier Rousteing, teamed with thigh-high silver metallic boots.   “This tour is a revolution, thank you for supporting us and bringing all the creatives through your beautiful journey around the world. This tour is iconic , your vision is beyond,” Rousteing wrote on Instagram .

Beyoncé had a Jessica Rabbit moment in Ferragamo, wearing a bombshell red gown, hand-embroidered with crystals and beads, with a square neckline and a thigh-high slit, designed by Maximilian Davis and styled by Shiona Turini. The star teamed her gown with silver strappy Giuseppe Zanotti heels, silver Tiffany & Co. Elsa   Per etti Bone Cuffs on each wrist, a silver manicure, and matched her metallic eyeshadow to her accessories. 

The singer wore a silver bedazzled custom Loewe ensemble by creative director Jonathan Anderson, including a rhinestone-encrusted long sleeved top with matching silver shimmering track pants, teamed with a metallic sculpted breastplate.

Pierre Cardin

A pioneer of space-aged fashion, Beyoncé called upon the fashion house of Pierre Cardin to spice up the Renaissance universe. The custom black gown featured neckline in the shape of the brand’s “symbol of the unity which creates life, as well as a circular wing that represents the universe and its infiniteness, the dress is symbolic of the new space age which defines Maison Pierre Cardin.” With an enclosed U-shaped neckline and a thigh-high slit, the design included a circular structural halo behind her head, styled by Shiona Turini. The star teamed her dress with black Giuseppe Zanotti pumps and custom Tiffany & Co. diamond earrings that spelled out “Renaissance.” 

During her rainy performance in Marseille, Beyoncé wore a custom mirror paillette-covered disco basque dress, coordinating thigh-high boots and metallic matching opera gloves from Jacquemus. The house’s founding designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is originally from Marseille and first saw Beyoncé perform in the city 15 years ago. “IT’S A DREAM…. IT’S THE FIRST SINGER I SAW LIVE IN MARSEILLE 15 YEARS AGO… IM SO HAPPY AND PROUD…. WHAT A NIGHT…IN PROVENCE…. MEANS A LOT,” he wrote on Instagram . The designer also took to his Instagram Stories to set the scene. “I was so stressed, can’t really explain the feeling,” he wrote. “And I’m usually not. But Beyonce at home, with the [rain]…I guess it was my mother crying from up there. Well I’m sure.”

Alberta Ferretti

Beyoncé adorned a custom crushed crystal and gold sequin embroidered leotard finished with a gold draped miniskirt with a waterfall train by Alberta Ferretti with black opera gloves and thigh-high matching boots.

Stella McCartney

Beyoncé shined bright in a shimmering silver Stella McCartney custom look in Barcelona. Inspired by the brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 collection, the bespoke mesh moulded long-sleeve dress and leggings were encrusted with hand-placed lead-free crystals, styled by Shiona Turini.

While performing at the Olimpic Stadium Luis Company in Barcelona, Beyoncé adorned a sporty and futuristic custom Fendi look. Styled by Karen Langley, the black, red and silver special leather Intarsia catsuit was teamed with thigh-high boots, matching opera gloves and an upcycled fur Intarsia cape.

Mary Katrantzou

Sporting yet another bumble bee-inspired look for the Bey Hive, Beyoncé opted for a custom Mary Katrantzou surrealist minidress in the form of a perfume bottle silhouette teamed with a matching bottle top headpiece made in collaboration with Stephen Jones millinery. Beyoncé teamed her black, silver and yellow gold look with thigh-high latex boots, barely-there fishnet stockings, black beaded opera gloves embellished with a faux red manicure and black sunglasses with antennae for an additional bee reference.

Beyoncé closed out the London leg of her tour in a bespoke black blossom look from Hong Kong-born London-based designer Robert Wun. The songstress adorned an asymmetrical pleated skirt with a waist-cinching blazer jacket embellished with voluminous ruffled sleeves, styled by Shiona Turini.

Vivienne Westwood

Beyoncé wore a custom Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood corseted black latex micro minidress with structured spiral sleeves for her performance in London, teamed with black patent leather Giuseppe Zanotti pointy-toe pumps and custom jewels from Tiffany & Co., including a bespoke Drip Intravenous necklace (appropriately named after her “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” lyrics) and custom Drip Intravenous chandelier earrings.

In London, Beyoncé wore a vibrant royal blue custom Roksanda gown, inspired by a gown included in the brand’s Fall/Winter 2023 ready-to-wear collection with long sleeves that extended into gloves and a higher neckline. The acclaimed performer teamed her sculptural cobalt gown with Amina Muaddi heels, a bespoke Tiffany & Co. Twisted Collar necklace and custom Twisted earrings from the jewelry house with the help of stylists Karen Langley and Tara Greville. 

Beyoncé wore a custom Off-White bedazzled bustier-style bodysuit, covered in 40,000 red hotfix crystals designed by creative director Ib Kamara , styled by Shiona Turini. 

Alexander McQueen

The songstress wore a custom-made Alexander McQueen frock, hand-embroidered with burgundy bugle beads on a red paneled tulle base, teamed with gloves and red metallic thigh-high boots.

Paco Rabanne

Beyoncé opened the Paris leg of her tour in a custom Paco Rabanne gown, linked with silver discs, designed by creative director Julien Dossena.

The star continued her long love of  Thierry Mugler , and wore an iteration of the late designer’s robot creation first seen on his Fall/Winter 1995 Couture runway, as well as the insect antenna look as seen in the Spring/Summer 1997 Couture collection. She teamed it all with a custom  Casey Cadwallader -designed yellow-and-black bumble bee-inspired metallic bodysuit.

Beyoncé changed into a pearl and crystal-encrusted custom Balmain corset and short set, designed by longtime collaborator Olivier Rousteing with black latex thigh-high boots.

Brandon Blackwood

The singer wore a sky blue custom Brandon Blackwood gown with an asymmetrical neckline and a thigh-high slit with matching bespoke gloves and heels from the designer as well, with the help of stylists KJ Moody and Vance Gamble. The star teamed her ensemble with custom Tiffany Hardwear creations, including a layered silver chain choker and Hardwear Link earrings.

Beyoncé  took the stage in  Brussels, Belgium , serenading the crowd wearing an ivory silk Valentino  gown covered in shimmering silver crystal rhinestones, designed especially for her by creative director Pierpaolo Piccioli. Featuring a cowl neckline, which exposed a matching plunging bra-shaped under-layer, the form-fitting creation included a thigh-high slit and a cascading train.

She teamed her show-stopping ensemble with barely-there neutral fishnet stockings, metallic silver bespoke Malone Souliers pumps and matching silver shining opera gloves, complete with metallic gold nails encrusted on each finger, styled by Shiona Turini. As a Tiffany & Co. brand ambassador ,  Beyoncé  added an extra dose of glamour with a custom necklace  from the heritage jeweler , embellished with crystals.

The superstar emerged from a gigantic silver scallop shell, like Botticelli’s   Birth of Venus , wearing a bedazzled custom Loewe bodysuit by creative director Jonathan Anderson. Inspired by a creation from house’s Fall/Winter 2022 collection, the crystalized catsuit featured hands with a red manicure, wrapped around Beyoncé‘s figure.

The songstress embraced intergalactic, space-aged style in a custom David Koma look inspired by ensembles found in the designer’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection. She adorned a lavender and neon green high-neck leotard with a marching wrap skirt, featuring a swirling print reminiscent of the inner workings of an agate stone or the Northern lights. The superstar teamed her outfit with matching metallic knee-high boots and a shining silver iridescent jacket with large, chandelier earrings to sing her hit single, “Break My Soul.”

Next, she slipped into a custom silver asymmetrical leotard, fit for an “ALIEN SUPERSTAR.” Equipped with a metallic silver plate emblazoned on her torso, the creation was designed by artistic director of Courrèges, Nicolas Di Felice. Beyoncé teamed her look with Tiffany & Co. jewels and custom GEDEBE thigh-high boots.

The singer wore a custom Alexander McQueen gunmetal bodysuit with silver bugle beads and “crystal anatomical embroidery,” according to the brand. The silhouette featured strong shoulders and sculptural accents at the hips.

Every Look From Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour, From Custom Catsuits to Disco-Inspired Couture

Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour began with a bang in Stockholm and it hasn't slowed down since. The highly-anticipated show has featured inventive set design, a decades-spanning setlist, and a plethora of standout style moments—from to archival pieces to custom looks and nearly everything in between. The star’s wardrobe has combined her signature style with the visual ethos of the album Renaissance ( think lots of sequins, silver, catsuits, and the occasional bee-inspired look). Beyoncé has also been wearing looks from brands specific to the city she’s performing in—for the UK leg of her tour she wore picks from the London-based Mary Katrantzou and Robert Wun while in Marseille, France she opted for a look by designer Simon Porte Jacquemus.

The singer has donned looks from both established brands—Valentino, Mugler, lots of Alexander McQueen, among others—as well as smaller labels like Anrealage and Brandon Blackwood. Balmain catsuits and mini dresses have been a constant throughout her tour wardrobe (in March, she partnered with creative director Olivier Rousteing to design a Renaissance couture line for the brand ) as well as imaginative pieces from Loewe. Beyoncé began the tour in Europe which has seen her in London, Paris, and other cities with the last being Warsaw, Poland on June 28th. She will then head to North America with her last date coming in New Orleans, Louisiana on September 27th. Needless to say, there will be countless more style moments to come—so, to make sure you don’t miss one look, keep checking back here as we keep track of everything Beyoncé has worn during the Renaissance world tour.

Beyoncé certainly made a splash for her final Renaissance show in Kansas City, Missouri. To open the concert, the star wore a custom Balenciaga gown, embroidered with over 8000 crystal rhinestones, and black opera gloves.

The star also brought out a black, latex version of a previous Ivy Park bodysuit and cropped jacket for her final show.

It’s fitting that perhaps the most memorable look from Beyoncé’s tour, a crystalized Loewe bodysuit, came in not one, not two, but three color ways.

At Beyoncé’s Houston show, Meghan Thee Stallion hit the stage to perform the “Savage” remix live for the first time. Naturally, then, the singer made sure to bring out a handful of major looks for such an occasion, including this dramatic black-and-white Balmain gown.

For another Houston ensemble, Beyoncé went with a black number by British maestro Gareth Pugh that was trimmed with reflective detailing.

Lingerie powerhouse Agent Provocateur designed this fringed, metallic piece for the singer’s Houston Renaissance stop.

American designer Rick Owens’ first custom look for Beyoncé’s tour came in the form of this plunging, sculptural bodysuit that she paired with silver cut-out boots and shield sunglasses.

The Carters have a song called “Boss,” but it was Beyoncé who looked in control wearing this full look from, yes, Boss. Silver was again the color of choice for the star—opting for slouchy boots, a form-fitting bodysuit, and cropped statement jacket.

Beyoncé donned her mermaid best while in Dallas, Texas with this custom Georges Hobeika couture look. The gown, which took over 300 hours to make, is embroidered with layers of Swarovski crystals and features a dramatic head veil.

This custom look from Milanese house Del Core featured pink garter boots and a sculptural bodysuit complete with statement shoulders. Plus, some very “Alien Superstar” sunglasses to match.

Despite saying her “Telfar bag imported,” it took Beyoncé until her tour’s Seattle stop to sport a look from the New York brand . The red, sequined cut-out bodysuit was certainly worth the wait, though (Blue Ivy also had a matching look from Telfar).

For her show in Seattle, Washington, Beyoncé donned lots of denim in the form of this Diesel bodysuit moment complete with a blue overcoat.

The star pulled out this crystallized, sheer Elie Saab couture look complete with a dramatic hood and feathered train.

This sequined Vera Wang bodysuit was taken to the next level with layers of blue chiffon that moved gracefully while the singer performed in Vancouver, Canada.

For her first Renaissance concert up North in Vancouver, Canada, Beyoncé pulled out a few new looks like this custom Ivy Park gear that featured intricate embroidery throughout. She added a matching top hat, overcoat, and silver above-the-knee boots to complete the ensemble.

Brazilian brand PatBO brought the sparkle (and fringe) with this eye-catching, hand-beaded number they designed for the singer’s Vancouver, Canada concert.

This is the second flame bodysuit that Roberto Cavalli has designed for the singer. This time, though, the look was even more fiery thanks to dozens of red and orange Swarovski crystals lining the piece.

Beyoncé made this barely-there lingerie look by Agent Provocateur stage-ready by adding fringed boots and a sparkly overcoat.

Like many a pop star, it’s no secret that Beyoncé loves a Mugler bodysuit. Here, the star wore a strappy silver version that she styled with metallic boots and shield sunglasses.

Beyoncé pulled out all types of looks for her Los Angeles show, which also happened to fall on her 42nd birthday. In one of many new looks during the night, she rocked this embroidered Givenchy bodysuit with a cropped black jacket and patent heels.

Beyoncé went big for her first Versace look during her Renaissance tour. She wore a skin-hugging mini dress and over-the knee boots designed in the Italian brand’s signature Medusa print.

The star opted for a lace Dolce & Gabbana look consisting of a corseted bodice and a dramatic off-the-shoulder train.

A vision in red, Beyoncé wore a ruched Balmain top that she paired with latex, cargo-style pants and opera-length gloves. To round out the look, she wore a Ruslan Baginskiy hat and Thierry Lasry sunglasses.

Pucci is known for their statement prints, so it’s no surprise this bodysuit was heavy on all sorts of colors. The look featured the Italian brand’s archival "Giardino” print as well as crystal embellishments and a sparkling body chain.

Loewe may have created the most memorable look from Beyoncé’s tour thus far with their “hands” bodysuit. For her Los Angeles show, the singer wore another anatomy-focused look from the Spanish brand, this one, in black and red.

This pink Gucci look consisted of pleated satin and a handful of pearl and crystal embellishments. The star added in velvet gloves, a wide-brimmed hat, and a pair of bedazzled binoculars for good measure.

For the opening portion of her Los Angeles show, Beyoncé donned this rose pink Tamara Ralph gown that featured ruching at the side and feathered sleeves.

While she may have been hidden underneath a sculptural headpiece, this ivory Danielle Frankel look certainly spoke for itself.

Australian designer Tamara Ralph created this velvet gown, complete with shimmering details at the bodice, for Beyoncé’s Los Angeles show. She paired the dramatic piece with a black top hat and Alaïa heels.

The singer looked in control with a custom A-Morir cane that she wore with a bedazzled bodysuit by Prada inspired by their spring/summer 2012 collection.

Instead of her usual over-the-knee stilettos, Beyoncé opted for a towering pair of Marc Jacobs “Kiki” boots. She also wore a custom iteration of a look from the American brand’s fall/winter 2023 collection that featured a glittering red scarf.

This custom Alexander McQeen number, which featured an embellished mini dress and sculptural headpiece, was inspired by the brand’s fall/winter 2013 couture collection.

Sarah Diouf, the designer behind African brand Tongoro, designed this black-and-white motif bodysuit, gloves, and boots for the singer’s Santa Clara, California show.

The star looked presidential in another Ralph Lauren look, this one, a tuxedo-style bodysuit that she paired with a feather boa, bedazzled cane, and black boots.

In an ensemble that would make her song “Telephone” proud, Beyoncé donned a custom bodysuit by Lou de Bètoly made from recycled phones, chargers, and crystals.

Yes, that is Beyoncé hidden under all of that silver fringe. During her Las Vegas show, she certainly made a statement in this silver Jacquemus look.

Even when hidden underneath a red top hat, Beyoncé looked Renaissance -ready in this silver mini dress by Ukrainian brand Frolov.

Beyoncé opted for another printed Marine Serre ensemble, this time, a silver bodysuit layered with a red cut-out dress.

Cult-favorite lingerie brand Agent Provocateur designed this metallic bodysuit, completed with cut-out detailing, for the singer’s Las Vegas show.

Leave it to Beyoncé to make newsboy caps look cool. Here, she paired the accessory with a latex and fishnet look from Dundas.

The star spiced things up with a sheer, crystalized bodysuit by Bronx and Banco that she wore with a white feather overcoat.

Beyoncé donned another Givenchy look during her Glendale, Arizona stop–this one a form-fitting suit dress complete with gold accents along the waist and arms.

British brand Gareth Pugh designed this sculptural metallic bodysuit for the singer, which she paired with over-the-knee boots and flashy opera gloves.

The star swapped out her Loewe “hands” bodysuit for an equally as flashy look from the Spanish brand in the form of a black long sleeve, high-low dress.

Beyoncé looked ravishing in red when she wore this Atelier Zuhra look composed of a glittering bodysuit and a statement-making, sculptural train.

This very “Alien Superstar” ensemble by Zigman featured a semi-sheer bodysuit, metallic knee-high boots, and antena-like wings that doubled as a train.

Georgian brand Situationist and Ukrainian label Yaspis came together to create this custom metallic look for Beyoncé’s Phoenix, Arizona show. The dress featured a criss-cross halter bodice and an asymmetrical draped skirt with a daring slit up to her waist. To finish things off, the star added in a pair of opera-length gloves and a crystal mesh bodysuit.

The superstar, who celebrates her birthday September 4, recently posted a request to her fans via Instagram. “Virgo season is upon us,” she wrote. “This tour has been such a joy and as we approach the last month, my birthday wish is to celebrate with you wearing your most fabulous silver fashions to the show 8.23 – 9.22.”

Beyoncé has long been a fan of Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran, so it’s only fitting that he crafted one of her buzziest Renaissance World Tour ensembles yet. The custom yellow bodysuit, which took over 200 hour s to make, was paired with beaded opera gloves and knee-high boots. Of course, the star rounded things out with antenna-like shield glasses.

London-based Alessandra Rich designed this shimmering ensemble for Beyoncé’s St. Louis, Missouri stop. The look featured a semi-sheer crystal net bodysuit complete with patent detailing at the midsection and sleeves. Prior to showing off the form-fitting catsuit, she wore a vinyl trench coat and coordinating top hat.

Beyoncé celebrated the arrival of Virgo season with this custom Loewe look that she wore for her St. Louis, Missouri show. She paired the look, which consisted of a metallic sculptural top and black maxi skirt, with sparkly heels from The Attico. The singer also announced that she wants her fans to wear their “most fabulous silver fashions” for the remaining month of her Renaissance tour, which concludes on September 22nd. “We’ll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night,” she said in a statement.

The singer previously wore a similar swirl motif mini dress from David Koma earlier on in her tour. This time, though, she paired the piece with an asymmetrical leather jacket, patent cowboy boots, and sleek silver sunglasses.

Beyoncé definitely brought the heat to Miami in this sparkling custom Gucci look. The Italian brand created a corseted bodysuit draped with strands of silver fabric for the singer, which she paired with over-the-knee fringe boots.

Though this custom Valdrin Sahiti bodysuit followed a similar silhouette to many of Beyoncé’s form-fitting looks, its dramatic tulle shoulders and flowing train certainly spiced things up a bit. The singer rounded out the look with a pair of cat eye sunglasses and PVC heels by Mach and Mach.

Unlike her Marni look which was heavy on mixed metals, this custom Missoni ensemble was pure silver. The Italian house designed a patterned form-fitting dress (complete with a leg-baring) slit that the singer unveiled during her Tampa, Florida show. She also wore a silver long sleeve top with built-in gloves underneath, Amina Muaddi heels, and custom Tiffany & Co. glasses.

Patchwork like never before. The singer donned this custom Marni look, composed of a cropped puffer jacket, bodysuit, and boots, for her Atlanta show. The silver and gold pieces were made of leather and fragmented crystals for some extra shine.

Rounding out a pair of Gaurav Gupta looks in Atlanta, Beyoncé chose this show-stopping hooded gown for her final show in the city. The sparkling number is from the brand’s fall/winter 2023 collection and featured a one-sleeve silhouette and a trio of cut-out details.

Beyoncé turned up the heat in this blue flame bodysuit by Roberto Cavalli. The brand’s creative director Fausto Puglisi created the trompe l’oeil ensemble with a slew of Swarovski crystals and even added in a dazzling cowboy hat and gloves to finish off the look.

Even Beyoncé got in on fashion’s sheer obsession with this statement-making Dolce & Gabbana look. She paired the bodysuit, which featured sprawling crystal embroidery, with a pair of fringe sunglasses.

If anyone can make a newsboy cap work, it’s certainly Beyoncé. She accessorized this fitted, embroidered bodysuit from Self-Portrait with a matching hat and strappy heels.

Alberta Ferretti has been a constant throughout Beyoncé’s Renaissance wardrobe. So, naturally, the singer chose a scarlet bodysuit, complete with a sculpted bodice and plenty of crystals, for her Atlanta show.

The star opted for another Gaurav Gupta look, this one, from the brand’s fall/winter 2023 collection. Like her previous ensemble from the brand, the green dress featured an array of smartly placed cut-outs and a thigh-high slit.

If this Carolina Herrera ensemble looks familiar, that’s because Beyoncé previously wore a red version earlier on in her tour. Like the last wear, this one was made complete with a dramatic headpiece and opera-style gloves. The star also tied in a pair of Alaïa cabaret sandals, a pari she’s taken a liking to throughout her time on the road.

The star chose a Barbie pink look from Lapointe during her show in Charlotte, North Carolina. The curve-hugging mini dress featured a one-side feather sleeve and a draped train at the side. Of course, she had to add in a pair of sequined knee-high boots and fringe sunglasses from A-Morir for good measure.

This Gaurav Gupta bodysuit may be Beyoncé’s most detailed one to date—the piece featured elaborate infinity draping that cascaded throughout the look. She then paired the top half with garter-inspired crystal leggings that transitioned into boots.

Beyoncé dazzled in this custom Ralph Lauren satin gown and feather shawl for her Washington, D.C. show (which drew heavyweight guests like Solange Knowles, the Obamas, and Kamala Harris).

Tinsel chic? Beyoncé’s latest custom Gucci look (a fringe bodysuit, sculptural hat, boots, and overcoat) turned heads for all the right reasons at her D.C. show.

Nina Ricci designer Harris Reed created this crystal and velvet bodysuit inspired by the brand’s archival couture gowns. Beyoncé accessorized the look with custom drop earrings and an Elsa Peretti diamond ring from Tiffany & Co.

Beyoncé went with this custom royal blue look from Off-White (she wore a similar red version earlier on in her tour) for her show in the nation’s capital.

Self-Portrait creative director Han Chong custom designed this glittering mesh bodysuit and matching skirt for the star’s Washington, D.C. show. The sequined piece featured a diamond cut-out at the midsection and dramatic feather cuffs.

For her Boston show, Beyoncé dazzled in this reflective silver ensemblefrom Peter Dundas’s namesake brand. The look featured a form-fitting mini dress, oversized trench coat, ankle boots, and a coordinating hat.

Beyoncé got in on the lingerie dressing fad with this sultry custom look from Spanish-born, Paris-based designer Arturo Obegero.

Israeli designer Alon Livné designed this sheer catsuit, complete with intricately placed cut-outs, and ruffled cape for the singer’s Boston show.

Beyoncé looked straight out of a sci-fi thriller in this custom Demobaza look which featured a color blocked bodysuit, harness, and white boots.

Jean Paul Gaultier is known for their trippy prints, so it’s no surprise then that the bending motif was the focal point of this custom bodysuit.

The debate is still out on whether this look should be classified as Barbie pink or Valentino pink. Regardless, Beyoncé nailed this custom look from the Italian brand. She paired the form-fitting bodysuit (which was layered under a cape) with knee-high boots and feathered shield sunglasses.

For her New York show, Beyoncé, fittingly, wore one of the city’s favorite designers. Her custom Marc Jacobs gown featured a dramatic slit, bending black and white stripes, and a slew of dazzling Swarovski crystals.

This Alexander McQueen may look familiar. The singer wore a similar version just a few stops ago in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This one, however, featured a slightly different color way in bronze and silver and was accented by a dramatic reflective cape.

The singer looked ethereal in this semi-sheer Georges Hobeika gown. The piece featured delicate embroidery throughout and a strappy neckline at the bodice. Her sheer headpiece was crafted with 3D embroidered flowers and her opera gloves were trimmed with train-like pieces of fabric.

Beyoncé donned another custom Ivy Park look for her New Jersey show. This one kept up the camouflage theme with another pair of slouchy knee-high boots. Instead of a form-fitting bodysuit like she’s worn in the past, her jersey-style long sleeve was decidedly more casual (yet still packed a punch with crystal embroidery). Blue Ivy had on a matching jersey, too.

Sparkles and (faux) fur took center stage in this Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini look. Her long sleeve bodysuit was embellished with Swarovski crystals and layered perfectly beneath the apricot coat.

The singer packed on the sparkle in this Miu Miu look during her stop in East Rutherford, New Jersey. The tank and cut-off shorts were embroidered with rhinestones and crystals as were her fringed knee-high boots, naturally. She paired the set with a custom Tiffany & Co. silver peephole cowboy hat and HardWear drop earrings.

Louis Vuitton’s newly appointed creative director of menswear, Pharrell Williams, designed this glittering catsuit for Beyoncé’s Detroit, Michigan concert. The two have quite the history as long time friends and collaborators—Williams has produced songs for Beyoncé in the past and she recently attended his debut runway show for the French brand earlier this year. The custom bodysuit put a spin on the brand’s famed Damier check through glittering crystal embroidery. Williams also created custom ensembles for Blue Ivy and Beyoncé’s backup dancers.

Beyoncé looked like liquid gold in this hooded mesh gown from Ivy Park. The piece featured slight ruching at the waist and a dramatic side slit which showed off her daring footwear choice—a pair of Alaïa cabaret heels. The patent calfskin choice are from the brand’s spring/summer 2023 collection in which the heel is designed to mimick the shape of two legs.

This silver cut-out number may just be Beyoncé’s most disco-ready jumpsuit yet. Custom designed by Lanvin, the piece featured the brand’s signature gold hardware as well as ruching throughout. To round things out, Beyoncé accessorized the look with equally as flashy opera gloves and above-the-knee boots.

Beyoncé traded her tour wardrobe of silver and gold for some Tiffany blue while in Chicago, Illinois. The look was created in partnership with designer Giles Deacon and featured a sculptural bodice and sheer organza gloves. She paired the dress with, of course, a custom Tiffany & Co. Twister Collar Necklace.

Beyoncé’s Acne Studios ensemble may have nailed the Barbie pink look, but it certainly did not disappoint during her Minneapolis show. She paired her reflective mini shorts and bustier with an oversized jacket and sparkling thigh-high boots.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance wardrobe isn’t just limited to bodysuits—she’s also been incorporating dramatic ensembles like this custom Schiaparelli mini dress and shawl. The strapless piece featured white feathered detailing which she paired with simple Dolce & Gabbana heels.

Balmain has been a focal point of Beyoncé’s Renaissance wardrobe and things got taken up a notch during her stop in Minneapolis. The singer opted for a sculptural latex bodysuit that she accessorized with knee-high boots, shield sunglasses, and a brimmed top hat.

Beyoncé stunned in silver with this custom Marine Serre look. The star wore a fitted bodysuit, complete with the brand’s signature moon motif, as well as chain undergarments layered on top. She added in a brimmed hat and silver boots for good measure, too.

This custom Alexander McQueen bodysuit is a riff on a similar look from the brand’s fall/winter 2016 collection. The semi-sheer piece features sequin horse embroidery and a tulle base.

It’s no secret that Beyoncé has been all in on the bodysuit style throughout her tour. But this custom Diesel look for her Louisville, Kentucky show may just be one of her most unique styles thus far. The trompe l’oeil look featured a print mimicking denim and grey crystals throughout. And to round things out, the piece’s boots and gloves were connected to the main portion of the ensemble.

Pulling out the sequins in Louisville, Beyoncé dazzled in this custom mini dress by Raisa Vanessa. The dress took nearly six months to make and featured a plunging neckline and two slits on either side. The singer rounded out the look with glittering knee-high boots and goggle-style sunglasses.

Beyoncé donned this Dsquared2 bodysuit—complete with layers of dazzling embellishments and a plunging neckline—for the opening act of her Louisville concert.

Alexander McQueen was a staple throughout Beyoncé’s European performances, so it’s no surprise that she’s returned to the British brand when stateside. During her Nashville concert, the singer wore a custom bodysuit, gloves, and boots complete with crystal embroidery. She stopped it off with a UFO-shaped chapeau appropriate for an alien superstar. The outfit seemed to be a shorter version of a look she wore earlier on in the tour.

The singer opted for another dazzling custom look from David Koma. Unlike her previous printed mini dress from the British designer, this red number had plenty of sequins throughout as well as an asymmetrical train detail. She rounded things out with patent leather boots, a ruby belt, and pendant necklace.

The McQueen look wasn’t the only repurposed silhouette Beyoncé wore in Nashville. She opted for a pink Ivy Park jacket, halter top, and shorts that are, again, a shorter iteration of a similar bodysuit she previously wore in Europe. She also mixed in a pair of custom Tiffany & Co. sunglasses and Gedebe boots to make things even more Renaissance worthy.

Beyoncé certainly leaned into some drama (and disco) with this custom Valentino look in Philadelphia. The focal point was the seemingly never-ending sequined train that connected to the pouf bodice of the bodysuit. She paired the flashy piece with coordinating boots, and towards the end of the show, she flew above the crowd in this look while mounted on a horse.

The singer mixed in some more sequins in Philadelphia with this custom Givenchy mini dress. The piece featured intricately placed cut-outs as well as fringe throughout the dress. She rounded things out with strappy heels and sheer black opera gloves. She, of course, also had on diamonds from Tiffany & Co. in the form of a ring, drop earrings, and a tennis bracelet.

Beyoncé went with another camouflage look from her label Ivy Park, this one a two-piece set. The crop top had built in sleeve-gloves and the mini shorts also featured chaps-like detailing that extended into her boots.

Beyoncé has been wearing plenty of Tiffany & Co. jewelry throughout her tour, but she took it to another level for her first North American stop in Toronto, Canada. The singer donned a dazzling bespoke mini dress from the brand complete with layers of chains and stones. The mesh look of the piece was inspired by the designs of Elsa Peretti and took nearly 200 hours to make. Beyoncé paired the piece with custom Malone Souliers heels as well as vintage earrings and an anklet both from Tiffany & Co.

Also while in Toronto, the singer traded her layered mini dress for a dazzling custom Fendi gown. The piece is a riff on a similar look from the brand’s spring/summer 2021 couture collection and features a daring slit as well as crystal embroidery meant to imitate the appearance of honeycombs. She rounded out the look with another pair of clear heels and statement tassel earrings.

Leave it Beyoncé to make comouflage cool. During the Toronto stop of her tour, the singer wore a fully patterned ensemble from her brand Ivy Park. The look featured a cropped jacket, over-the-knee boots and a plunging bodysuit.

For the final stop of the European leg, Beyoncé went with a slew of sequined and silver ensembles while performing in Warsaw, Poland. This look, by Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing, featured a dramatic bodice that cascaded down her side as well as a daring slit at the skirt. The singer rounded out her look with velvet gloves and a pair of Manolo Blahnik heels.

While Beyoncé has had some pretty avant-garde outfits, this Richard Quinn number may be her most “Alien Superstar” yet. The look featured legging-style pants with large crystal embellishments as well as a peplum-inspired top finished with similar adornments. However, the focal point of the ensemble is certainly the UFO-like headpiece that obscured everything but the singer’s eyes.

Outfitting an entire crew and Beyoncé is certainly no small feat, but global brand Daily Paper seemed to be up for the task. During the "Opulence" section of her concert in Warsaw, Beyoncé donned an embellished black jumpsuit and reflective track jacket from the brand—which she paired with knee-high boots and one of her signature top hats. In addition to Beyoncé’s look, Daily Paper designed over 100 custom tracksuits for her crew and dancers, mostly in silver reflective nylon.

Just one night after sporting a similar hooded piece while in Paris, Beyoncé went with another veiled look, this time, for her concert in Hamburg, Germany. The ensemble is designed by Carolina Herrera creative director Wes Gordon and features a plunging bodysuit, sheer red tights, and a silk hood that connects at the head and arms. Of course, the singer also had on her signature opera gloves and glitzy earrings to round out the look.

Again in Hamburg, the singer chose a look from Ivy Park—one of a wider selection of pieces from an upcoming collection between her brand and Adidas. Naturally, backup dancer’s leotards matched her ruched mini dress and knee-high boots.

Ferragamo’s creative director Maximillian Davis designed this red glittering gown for the singer’s show in Amsterdam. In honor of Juneteenth, Davis was one of several Black designers that Beyoncé wore throughout the show.

This robo-couture custom Balmain look featured silver-plated detailing that paneled the singer’s bodysuit. She paired the piece, which drifted into gloves, with a pair of knee-high boots.

“In the industry where we have to all fight, I want to thank [Beyoncé’s] support last night [to] all the Black designers that had created their own space in this tough industry,” Balmain designer Olivier Rousteing said . “This was the celebration.”

This is the second all-red Off-White look worn by Beyoncé during her tour. Her second version, however, featured a shortened silhouette and an accompanying top hat that was designed by the brand’s art and image director Ibrahim Kamara.

For her second Balmain look in Amsterdam, Beyoncé went with another iteration of the bee-inspired catsuits we’ve seen repeatedly on her tour thus far. This time, she paired the ensemble with a coordinating top hat rather than her infamous insect-like antena.

New York designer LaQuan Smith crafted this silver, shattered glass bodysuit for the singer’s Amsterdam stop. She paired the plunging piece with an equally as disco-worthy cape and heels.

London-based brand Feben outfitted Beyoncé in a color-blocked catsuit. “Thank you for inviting me into your world,” the designer wrote on Instagram . “What an incredible moment to be a part of, and a pivotal one for myself, and my inner child. It means the world to be supported and seen as a Black female designer in the industry.”

This deep silver mini dress was the second look from Ferragamo the singer wore in Amsterdam. The look featured ruched detailing that drifted into a train and above-knee boots.

While Beyoncé has, seemingly, unlimited access to a never-ending roster of designers, she went with her own label Ivy Park for this pink look in Amsterdam—and rightly so. Designed by the star herself, the piece featured daring slits, opera-style gloves, and a halter neckline.

“I started designing this collection over a year ago,” she said on Instagram . “I was so engulfed in all things Renaissance and was inspired by Studio 54, Bob Mackie, and the disco era.”

In Amsterdam, the singer went with a custom Gucci corseted leotard. The glitzy piece featured sheer detailing and draped crystal fringe that fell across the bodice area.

Naturally, Dutch designer Iris van Herpen was a standout of Beyoncé’s wardrobe for her first night in Amsterdam. The custom look, which took over 700 hours to make, featured a flowing train paired with a sculptural mini dress.

Yes, you can always count on Beyoncé to wear a form-fitting catsuit. But this one by Lebanese designer had a handful of eye-catching details. The bodice was composed of various strands of rhinestones and crystals and the sheer portion wrapped entirely around her body (even down to her boots).

French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus is from Marseille, France so it’s fitting that he outfitted the singer for her tour stop there. Jacquemus, who attended the concert, designed a form-ftting mini dress, boots, and gloves that featured disco ball-esque paillettes.

“[Beyoncé] is the first singer I saw live in Marseille 15 years ago,” he wrote on Instagram . “I’m so happy and proud. What a night in Provence, means a lot.”

This custom gown by Alebrta Ferretti has an embroidered leotard and a gold draped train that cascades down the singer’s side. Beyoncé wore the eye-catching piece with matching knee-high boots and black opera gloves (which have been a running theme in many of her looks throughout the tour thus far).

Beyoncé went with a sparkling, disco-inspired Stella McCartney dress and stirrup leggings for her concert in Barcelona, Spain. The custom look was made of environmentally friendly materials such as silver lead-free crystals.

“It is a life moment to dress someone as iconic and inspiring as Beyoncé—a visionary pioneer, disruptor, and artist who has worked tirelessly to make the world a better place,” the British designer said. A pair of clear Amina Muaddi heels rounded out the ensemble.

The star wore a custom Fendi leather intarsia catsuit for her show in the Spanish city. It was paired with over-the-knee boots, matching gloves, and an upcycled fur cape inspired by illustrations by Antonio Lopez as seen in Fendi’s spring 2022 collection.

For her fifth and final show in London, Beyoncé wore a custom Mary Katrantzou surrealist mini dress with black and gold detailing. The look, meant to resemble a perfume bottle, also featured a custom Stephen Jones bottle top headpiece, latex boots, and gloves.

The 41-year-old singer opted for a dramatic “Black Blossom” Robert Wun look. The form-fitting ensemble featured a plunging blazer accented by ruffled sleeves and asymmetrical pleated detailing.

Beyoncé again went with another British label for her third London show, this time a custom Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood look. The mini latex dress features corset-style detailing and sheer spiral sleeves.

Beyoncé wore a custom royal blue Roksanda number for her London show. The piece is a riff of a similar dress from the brand’s fall/winter 2023 collection.

Alexander McQueen has been a staple of Beyoncé’s Renaissance wardrobe thus far. Here, she wore a custom deep red embroidered dress with coordinating boots and opera gloves—an iteration of a similar look from their fall/winter 2023 collection.

The signature silver paillettes of Paco Rabanne fit perfectly into the visual aesthetic of Renaissance, so its no surprise the star opted for a piece from the brand. She wore a glitzy custom gown for her show in Paris.

The 41-year-old looked ethereal in a custom light blue gown by New York brand Brandon Blackwood. She paired the off-the-shoulder number with coordinating opera gloves and silver jewels.

Beyoncé chose a statement-making Off-White look for her London show. The red bodysuit features a bustier-style top and 40,000 red hotfix crystals throughout.

Ditching the catsuits that fill the latter half of her concert, Beyoncé has chosen a series of stunning gowns for the opening segment of her show. Here, she wore a white Valentino dress complete with a train and coordinating opera gloves.

The singer was worn several looks from London-based brand David Koma over the course of her tour—one of them being this asymmetrical mini dress that features glittering fringe and wide shoulders.

The star has worn a silver two piece set from Loewe for several of her tour stops. On top of the long sleeve, she layered a molded breastplate and rounded out the look will silver boots.

This custom Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit is one of many bee-themed looks that Beyoncé has worn (there’s a reason she’s referred to as the Queen B after all). The piece features black and yellow embroidery as well as coordinating opera gloves.

Beyoncé continued her longstanding relationship with Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing—here, she wore an silver asymmetrical mini dress, thigh high boots, and wraparound sunglasses.

Beyoncé kept the bee theme rolling at the opening night of her tour in Stockholm. She wore a custom Mugler catsuit complete with towering antennas and bug-like sunglasses.

This custom look from Alexander McQueen features bugle bead and crystal anatomical embroidery. Beyoncé wore the piece during the opening night in Stockholm.

This trompe l’oeil Loewe catsuit has become a fan favorite throughout the star’s tour. The piece was custom made by the brand’s creative director Jonathan Anderson and is a play on a similar dress that recently went down the runway.

Beyoncé has worn this silver cutout bodysuit from French brand Courrèges several times thus far.

Beyoncé and her dancers wore colorful David Koma looks for opening night. The ruched dress, which she wore with a reflective jacket, is inspired by the brand’s Spring/Summer 2023 collection.

Beyoncé wore another custom Balmain look, a catsuit complete with the brand’s signature silver embroidery.

Beyoncé donned a color changing robe by Japanese brand Anrealage in what was one of the more experimental looks of the tour. The piece changed colors when exposed to UV lights and revealed a stained glass-like pattern.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour marks another defining moment in the superstar’s career, and costumes worn by the show stopping performer reflect just that — a new style chapter serving custom looks, futuristic disco and lots of sequins.

From some of the biggest names in contemporary fashion to smaller labels, Beyoncé’s has donned never-been-seen looks as well as archival pieces that often honor the country she’s in by wearing a designer who calls that nation home.

As the star and her talented crew embark on the North American leg of Renaissance and more iconic outfits, see what she’s worn so far and let a wave of early 2000s’ nostalgia flood your memories as we reminisce on Beyoncé’s signature style throughout her decades-spanning career. 

Renaissance World Tour

During her Juneteenth tribute, Beyoncé unveiled a shimmery,  bubble gum pink halter dress  from an upcoming swim collection by her clothing line  Ivy Park .

“I started designing this collection over a year ago. I was so engulfed in all things ‘Renaissance’ and was inspired by Studio 54, Bob Mackie and the disco era,” Beyoncé wrote on Instagram Monday. “I wanted to do a modern twist using the signature Ivy Park neon and bring disco to the beach in this swim collection.”

“I’m proud to be among the very talented Black designers featured in last night’s show to celebrate Juneteenth,” she wrote.

Beyoncé also gave fans a hearty dose of  “robo couture " during the show, hitting the stage in a  futuristic, silver-armored bodysuit  designed by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing. The designer and Beyoncé previously collaborated on  a 16-piece Renaissance Couture line  corresponding to the 16 tracks included on her latest album.

“This tour is a revolution. Thank you for supporting us and bringing all the creatives through your beautiful journey around the world,”  Rousteing wrote . “Your vision is beyond. I love you.”

No One Can Touch Beyoncé When It Comes to Cowboy (Carter) Style

By Alex Kessler

Beyoncé ’s pursuit of high-fashion rodeo-chic persists, with recent sightings of the superstar in vintage Versace leather, Maximilian Davis’s sleek Ferragamo suiting, and gorgeous pieces from Chemena Kamali’s debut Chloé collection–all accessorized with her now trademark cowboy hat. But denim has also taken the spotlight in Bey’s wardrobe (standout moments include Y-Project’s cut-out jeans paired with a Marine Serre jacket and a stylish McQueen miniskirt and jacket set by Seán McGirr). Beyoncé’s latest appearance only cements the “Levii’s Jeans” singer’s current obsession with the fabric.

An Instagram post from her trip to Japan finds the pop icon wearing a baby-blue LaPointe floor-length denim coat with faux fur sleeves, complemented by matching hot pants and slouchy over-the-knee stiletto boots. She accessorized with a pale blue sheer crew-neck top, a brown leather belt, and a brown leather bolo tie. Instead of a cowboy hat, this time Beyoncé opted for a beehive updo – perhaps a nod to her loyal “Beyhive” fan base.

As Act II: Cowboy Carter continues to dominate the charts, speculation around a potential tour (a follow-up to the phenomenon that was Club Renaissance) is mounting–and Beyoncé appears to be leaning in with her Western-inspired wardrobe.

Hot Mama Tina Knowles Rocks Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour Outfit On The Red Carpet

It appears as if mom Tina Knowles raided her daughter’s closet. She took to Instagram to post a photo of herself attending a new Las Vegas show Love & Laughter , which features Cedric the Entertainer and Tony Braxton. Tina was rocking an outfit that daughter Beyoncé wore during her Renaissance Tour . She looked fabulous.

This makes sense because Tina designed many of the looks that Beyoncé's former group, Destiny’s Child, once wore. Plus Bey had to get her fashion sense from someone, right? Looks like the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

The outfit was a denim jumpsuit with an optical illusion print. It features shoes that are attached to the acid-washed one-piece. Beyonce’s version was a custom design by Diesel, which she wore in Louisville, Kentucky.

The comment section was full of positive affirmations for Tina.

One user gushed: “Mamaaaaaaaaa! You loookkkkkk flyyyyyy!”

“If this is 70, let the years come 🔥🔥🔥,” another user chimed in.

“SLAY!” affirmed another user. “🔥❤️ Waiting for The Miss Tina World Tour🔥🔥🔥.”

Tina and Beyoncé aren’t the only fashionistas in the family. Tina opened up on the Oprah Daily podcast about granddaughter Rumi. “It’s funny because Rumi loves fashion. She picks out her own clothes,” Tina explained. “We recently went to Disneyland, and she put on her Mickey Mouse shorts. Then she wanted to put on a sparkly printed top, which had the same colors. It actually looked really cute.”

Tina Knowles stuns in Beyoncé ‘Renaissance Tour’ outfit

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

Beyoncé and her mom, Tina Knowles , are so close that they share the same designer looks.

Tina Knowles recently attended a Las Vegas event where all eyes were on her because the entrepreneur arrived wearing an outfit that members of the BeyHive immediately recognized.

At the opening of “Love & Laughter” at The Cosmopolitan casino April 27 — a new show featuring Cedric The Entertainer and Toni Braxton — Tina Knowles wowed on the red carpet in a jumpsuit that resembled denim. The luxurious one-piece also included matching, attached boots.

She shared photos from the event on her Instagram and complimented the comedian and Braxton's collaboration in the caption.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Tina Knowles (@mstinaknowles)

“The show was soo great!!!!!!” she wrote, in part, and added three red hearts.

Fans in the comments quickly pointed out that Tina Knowles appeared to wear the same look that Beyoncé donned on stage during her Louisville, Kentucky “Renaissance World Tour” show on July 17, 2023. The “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer posted photos from her performance at the time on Instagram . She also sported matching gloves with her look.

Eagle-eyed Beyoncé fans were impressed that Tina Knowles appeared to borrow her daughter's outfit.

“Okay mama tina i see with beyoncé tour outfit on,” one commented.

“You in Beyoncés closet,” a fan asked.

Another joked, “Ate that bee lady up in her own outfit” and added a fire emoji.

According to W Magazine , the bodysuit the mother and daughter wore is a custom Diesel look featuring gray crystals and a print that mirrors denim.

Their mother-daughter relationship was highlighted in concert movie “Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé,” as was Mathew Knowles , Beyoncé’s father and Tina Knowles’ former husband.

In behind the scenes footage and documentary-style interviews, Tina Knowles sits in the background, subtly supporting her daughter. She became more vocal on social media after the movie premiered, celebrating Beyoncé's wins and defending her against criticism.

Read on to learn more about the parents of one of the most iconic performers of all time.

Beyoncé's parents were married from 1980 to 2011

Tina and Mathew Knowles tied the knot in 1980 and were married for nearly 30 years. Tina Knowles filed for divorce in 2009, and the couple issued a joint statement to the Associated Press.

“The decision to end our marriage is an amicable one. We remain friends, parents and business partners,” they said at the time. “If anyone is expecting an ugly messy fight, they will be sadly disappointed. We ask for your respect of our privacy as we handle this matter.”

The former couple finalized their divorce in 2011.

Both remarried following their divorce

Tina Knowles tied the knot with the actor Richard Lawson in 2015. She filed for divorce in July 2023, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.

Meanwhile, Mathew Knowles said “I do” to model Gena Avery Knowles in 2013.

They share two children and four grandchildren

Tina and Mathew Knowles welcomed their first daughter, Beyoncé, on Sept. 4, 1981 ( yes, she's a Virgo ). Their second daughter, Solange, was born June 24, 1986. Both went on to have successful careers in the music industry.

Tina and Mathew Knowles also have four grandchildren: Solange's son with ex-husband Daniel Smith, Daniel Julez, 19, and Beyoncé's children with husband Jay-Z: Blue Ivy, 11, and twins Sir and Rumi, 6.

Kelly Rowland was an honorary daughter

Beyoncé's father was the manager of Destiny's Child, the girl group that helped catapult her and bandmates to fame.

When Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland was 11 years old, she moved in with the Knowles family, Tina Knowles  said in a 2015 essay for TIME.

"You came to live with us when you were only 11 years old. You were the sweetest, most kind person I had ever met and you still are. You are also a true survivor. You never give up. Your discipline and drive always inspires me," Tina Knowles wrote.

Beyoncé got her name from Tina

When it came time to name her first born child, Tina Knowles took inspiration from her own maiden name, as reported by ET.

“A lot of people don’t know that Beyoncé is my last name. It’s my maiden name,” she said in 2020 while appearing on the  "In My Heart With Heather Thomson " podcast.

“My name was Celestine Beyoncé, which at that time was not a cool thing to have that weird name. I wanted my name to be Linda Smith because those were the cool names,” she said.

Mathew Knowles managed his daughter's career until 2011

Mathew Knowles played an active role in building Beyoncé’s successful career and served as her manager until 2011. In a 2011 statement, the singer announced that they were parting ways professionally.

“I am grateful for everything he has taught me,” she said at the time. “I grew up watching both he and my mother manage and own their own businesses. They were hardworking entrepreneurs and I will continue to follow in their footsteps.”

In his own statement, Mathew Knowles called the decision "mutual," as reported by Billboard.

"We did great things together, and I know that she will continue to conquer new territories in music and entertainment," he said.

“Business is business and family is family,” he continued. “I love my daughter and am very proud of who she is and all that she has achieved. I look forward to her continued great success.”

Mathew Knowles managed Destiny's Child and would love to see them reunite one day

Knowles told ET in 2023 that he'd love it if Beyoncé, Rowland and Michelle Williams reunited. “It’s a decision that the ladies would have to make,” he said. "And I would certainly, certainly support that decision as I still manage Destiny’s Child. I would love to see that as well."

Knowles' time as a manager was criticized. Former band members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett both brought multiple lawsuits against Beyoncé, Rowland and their manager and Knowles’ father, Mathew Knowles, as well as the group’s label, Sony Music, all of which were  settled out of court .

Tina Knowles helped create her daughter's ‘Austin Powers’ character

Beyoncé made her screen debut in 2002 playing Foxxy Cleopatra in "Goldmember."

Producer John Lyons told Vulture in 2022 that Knowles-Lawson was present for her audition.

“It was clear that (Beyoncé) was so nervous at that audition, and Tina came with her, both as moral support and, I’m sure, to size us up and see if we were going to be respectful of her daughter and if we deserved her,” producer John Lyons told the publication.

Once on set, Knowles-Lawson helped the character come to life.

“Her mom was very much into blaxploitation movies,” director Jay Roach told Vulture. “She could tell that was the DNA for Foxxy. Her mom was so cool and so helpful and instantly had ideas for us.”

Beyoncé gets her sense of style from her mom

Tina Knowles' fashion prowess, which was shouted out in "Renaissance," has been part of Beyoncé's entire career.

She was Destiny's Child's official stylist and handmade some of their costumes. She reflected on that time in her career in an interview with The Washington Post .

Their wardrobe was inspired by Motown groups — which, she said, became a "problem" for other people connected to the group, who pressured her to make the band members look more like Christina Aguilera or Britney Spears.

"(The costumes) were just a little too flashy, a little too Motown, but what they really meant was that they were a little too Black,” she recalled.

Mathew Knowles survived breast cancer

Mathew Knowles announced that he had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2019. In a statement to TODAY.com , he explained why he shared the private news publicly.

“We need men to speak out! Men want to keep it hidden, because we feel embarrassed — and there’s no reason for that. I want to continue the dialogue on awareness and early detection — male or female. The key to this is early detection,” he said.

Tina Knowles is not afraid to stand up for herself

In January 2024, Tina Knowles said she learned an important lesson after she was criticized for liking a post that took issue with Janet Jackson’s upcoming tour prices.

“I am saddened by this,” she wrote on Instagram Jan. 24, captioning her video addressing the backlash of the perceived Jackson diss .

“Janet Jackson is an icon and I would never question another artist. I took Destiny’s Child to see Janet when they were 15 years old,” she explained, noting the pop star’s influence on her daughter and the group.

“They always looked up to her and she opened doors for Beyoncé,” her captioned continued. “Why would I hate on her?”

In the video, Knowles said she received a phone call that she’s “trending for liking a post about ticket prices of an artist.”

“Being on the other side of it, I know better than anyone what a great production cost and that it’s expensive,” she said. “And I would never criticize another artist, let alone Janet Jackson who is the queen of production and her family. They’re the first family of music. Always have been and always will be and I love and respect them.”

Reflecting on her experience, Knowles said she learned a valuable lesson: “Stay way from negativity.”

“If you follow me, then you know that I am not involved in mess,” she said. “What I am guilty of is liking post, going through when I’m in a big hurry and I don’t have time to really and liking things because I trust that these are people that I follow. That was a big mistake. I will never do it again.”

Tina Knowles is her daughter's biggest fan

Don't mess with Mama Tina! Knowles regularly comes to Beyoncé's defense when necessary. Most recently, she slammed critics who suggested that Beyoncé bleached her skin for the premiere of her concert film, "Renaissance."

“How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy. Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement...” she wrote on Instagram.

“Every time she does something that she works her a-- off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience,” she continued. “Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards, you perpetuate those things. Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.”

“I am sick of you losers,” she finished. “I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.”

Knowles also defended her daughter when critics slammed Beyoncé for wanting to do country music for her new album.

In response to the naysayers, Knowles posted a photo montage on Instagram , which included many throwback photos of her daughter in cowboy attire.

“I just came across this video on my IG feed! We have always celebrated Cowboy Culture growing up in Texas,” Knowles wrote.

“When people ask why is Beyonce wearing cowboy hats? It’s really funny, I actually laugh because it’s been there since she was a kid ,we went to rodeos every year and my whole family dressed in western fashion,” she added. “Solange did a whole brilliant Album and Project based on Black Cowboy Culture. . It definitely was a part of our culture growing up."

Tina Knowles borrows one of daughter Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour outfits for red carpet event

Tina Knowles seems to be taking a page out of Beyoncé’s book — or, rather, taking an outfit out of her closet.

The mother of the “Levii’s Jeans” singer recently stepped out at an event in Las Vegas, decked out a trompe l’oiel denim jumpsuit that looks identical to one Bey wore on her “Renaissance Tour” last summer.

Taking to Instagram, Knowles, 70, showed off the gray, acid-washed one-piece, giving a shoutout to “Love & Laughter,” a new show that features Cedric The Entertainer and Toni Braxton which opened on April 27.

Beyoncé’s jumpsuit — which she wore in Louisville, Kentucky — was a custom creation from Diesel that originally included a matching pair of gloves, though Knowles decided to skip that detail. The look also featured attached shoes and a zipper down the front.

Of course, the bold look was instantly recognizable to members of the Beyhive, who took to Knowles’ comments section with tons of compliments.

“Ate that bee lady up in her own outfit 🔥” one person joked while another said, “You in Beyoncés closet” and a third said, “SLAY! 🔥❤️ Waiting for The Miss Tina World Tour🔥🔥🔥.”

Actress Laverne Cox also joined in. “Let em know Miss Tina!!!” she wrote.

Of course, Knowles’ fashion-forward look should come as no surprise to Beyoncé’s most dedicated fans. The singer’s mom was responsible for designing some of Destiny’s Child’s most recognizable looks back in the day, including a number of coordinated ensembles they wore on the red carpet.

Back in January, Knowles also revealed that the Grammy-winning group, which also includes members Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, sang to her in honor of her milestone 70th birthday.

“I even got serenaded by Destiny’s Child. How amazing is that?” she confessed in a video she shared on social media.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé officially launched her own haircare Cécred , which was partially inspired by her mom, who owned a popular hair salon in Houston, Texas in the ’90s.

Beyonce's sweetest moments with doppelganger daughter Blue Ivy, 12

The texas hold 'em singer shares three children with jay-z.

With their mother known as one of the most famous pop stars in the world, Beyonce 's three children – daughter Blue Ivy, 12, and twins Rumi and Sir, six – have grown up in the spotlight. 

The Texas Hold 'Em singer has begun to make more public appearances with her eldest daughter, who has not only joined her on the red carpet but also on stage during her Renaissance Tour.

The New York Times reported that Beyonce said: "She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no," before relenting. Despite initially receiving some negative comments online, Beyonce's mother  Tina Knowles praised her granddaughter's hard work on tour, telling  People in July 2023: "She's having the time of her life, and I couldn't be more proud of her because she really worked hard."

She added: "She is 11 years old, and she had one week to prepare, and she's just getting better and better. So I'm the proud grandma, always."

Join us as we look back at Beyonce and Blue Ivy's sweetest mother-daughter bonding moments…

Twinning outfits

Queen B and her daughter clearly have a similar sense of style, since the mother-daughter duo stepped out together during the Renaissance World Tour in  matching sequin outfits.

The music icon rocked an embellished orange and blue football jersey alongside thigh-high camouflage-print boots, dark sunglasses and a silver wide-brimmed hat. Her mini-me daughter wore a more demure, age-appropriate ensemble including the same jersey with baggy camouflage cargo pants.

Dancing queens

As well as co-ordinating their Renaissance wardrobes, the pair also clearly spent hours rehearsing their dance moves. They were perfectly in sync as Blue Ivy joined her mother and backing dancers on stage for  act four of the show , titled Opulence, for My Power and Black Parade. Take a look at the video…

Tender parenting moment

During the UK premiere of Renaissance: A Film, Beyonce and Blue Ivy braved the November weather as they posed for photos on the red carpet.

Dressed in a floor-length black one-shouldered dress, the 11-year-old huddled into her mum, who wore a plunging bodysuit with a train. In one  tender moment , the Crazy in Love hitmaker was seen asking the pre-teen if she was cold and rubbing her shoulder. When Blue Ivy confirmed she was, Beyonce stopped the cameras in order to run off and grab her daughter a coat. How sweet!

Awards night out

Who better to invite as your plus one than your daughter? That's exactly what Beyonce did at the Grammy Awards in February 2024. The pair were pictured in monochromatic outfits, with Beyonce embracing her foray into country music with her cowboy hat and leather studded jacket, while her daughter wore a white off-the-shoulder gown.

Statement skirts

Their similar style file was documented once again in 2019 when they attended the premiere of The Lion King. Sheer tulle skirts embellished with diamantes were the look of the moment, with Beyonce pairing hers with a crystal-studded jacket while Blue Ivy wore an oversized blazer with sparkly shoulders.

Stage reunion

How sweet was this family reunion? Before Blue Ivy was old enough to join her mother to perform on stage, she still accompanied Jay-Z to show her support. The famous family were pictured sharing a tender moment as the tot kissed her mother at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

Sunglasses moment

Blue Ivy had already perfected her cool-girl pose at age six, as she demonstrated at the NBA All-Star Game in 2018. Donning a pair of sunglasses, just like her mother, the duo grinned for the cameras.

Red carpet glam

Beyonce wasn't the only one turning heads in her sheer feathered gown with oversized shoulders at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. Holding hands with her mother, Blue Ivy looked super smart in her golden dress with a ballerina-style tulle skirt.

CMAs attendee recalls hearing racist vitriol spewed at Beyoncé during 2016 performance

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

When Beyoncé performed at the 2016 CMA Awards, she faced an onslaught of racist backlash online .

But a new documentary reveals that the music superstar was also the target of vitriol inside the very arena where she debuted her twangy “Daddy Lessons” remix with the Chicks.

“An audience member in front of me proceeds to say, ‘Get that black bitch off the stage right now,'” attendee Tanner Davenport recalls in CNN’s “Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance.”

“I remember instantly kind of being taken back to reality in that moment — to realize that there’s, like, a threat of black people being in this genre for some reason,” adds the co-director of the Black Opry, a website that raises awareness for black country artists.

While a rep for the CMAs called Beyoncé’s performance “a highlight of the evening” after it aired, countless viewers flooded social media with bigoted messages about the Grammy winner, who got her start in the R&B girl group Destiny’s Child but has since transcended genres. (To this day, no official videos of the polarizing number are available online, only fan uploads.)

“For Beyoncé to not be welcomed feels like a gut punch,” Davenport says.

“Daddy Lessons,” which originally appeared on Queen Bey’s visual album “Lemonade,” was the singer’s first foray into country music, a genre with black origins that has become predominantly white over time.

Earlier this year, Beyoncé, 42, fully leaned into her Texas roots with her eighth studio album, “Cowboy Carter,” which she said was “born out of” her experience of not feeling accepted at the 2016 CMAs .

“The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me,” she wrote on Instagram in March.

“Cowboy Carter,” which is the second part of a three-act project that began with 2022’s house-influenced “Renaissance,” features country icons Dolly Parton , Willie Nelson and Linda Martell. It also has gotten the stamp of approval from music legends such as Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder .

The 27-track record debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums charts earlier this month, making Beyoncé the first black woman to top the latter.

“Call Me Country: Beyoncé & Nashville’s Renaissance” is available to stream Friday on Max.

Prince’s ‘Musicology’ at 20: A Look at the Album, Tour and Year That Saved His Career

Prince had been at a crossroads before, but never like he was at the beginning of 2004.

Popular on Variety

On February 8, he opened the 2004 Grammy Awards with a five-minute medley of “Purple Rain,” “Baby I’m a Star” and “Let’s Go Crazy” — with Beyonce — that may be the greatest opening to a music-awards show in television history. Two weeks later, he announced his first major tour in six years, noting that he’d be playing his hits again. “It’s older music, but it’s going to be played in a newer way,” he said, teasing that it might be the last time he played those songs in concert (it wasn’t). Then in March, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, where he played a different, much longer medley of his hits during the ceremony — but of course what everyone remembers is his show-stealing solo during the all-star George Harrison tribute, which he finished by throwing his guitar into the audience.

Musically, “Musicology” was a return to accessibility. And although it didn’t reach the peaks of his classic ‘80s material — to be fair, not much music does — it was a vivid sampler of his musical styles that marked the return of the Prince that people knew and loved. It also was a genuine hit: The ticket-CD bundle helped loft the album to No. 3 on the Billboard 200, but it was top 5 in multiple countries all over the world without that boost, even though it didn’t have a big hit single. Recorded over several years, “Musicology”’s musical baseline is the brand of lean funk Prince was raised on — he even shouts out Earth, Wind & Fire, James Brown and others in the album’s lead-off title track, which concludes with brief, scratchy recordings of some of his own hits in a mock scanning-the-radio-dial segment. There are a couple of “Do Me, Baby”-styled bedroom ballads, bombastic rock (“A Million Days”), even the new wave pop he hadn’t done since “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” on “Cinnamon Girl,” complete with splashes of vintage synthesizers. It winds down with a sultry, slow-burning burst of Aretha on the soulfully bluesy “On the Couch” and concludes with the breezy “Reflection.”

Even though Prince’s musicianship was at a new peak — his blazing guitar work, multi-tracked harmonies, production and arranging show an artist at the top of his craft — he was making music that was easy to like again, which isn’t to say it was simple; but even at its most sophisticated and complex (like the jazzy interlude at the end of “If I Was the Man in Ur Life”), it went down more smoothly. Indeed, the only area where “Musicology” fell flat is in the lyrics, which, like much of Prince’s later material, could be shockingly insipid. In particular, the album’s catchiest track, “Life of the Party,” is marred by lyrics so tossed-off that it sounds like they were written off the top of his head. (“So you’re havin’ a party?/ Goody for you/ All the beautiful people gonna be there/ Yeah, that’s cool.”) Even when he tried gravitas — about politics, war, global warming and moral decay on “Dear Mr. Man” — it wasn’t much better.

Prince was not an artist who’d ever lacked confidence, but by the end of 2004, the full swagger was back in his step. He’d significantly increased his wealth: The tour grossed nearly $90 million, the album was certified double platinum in the U.S. early in 2005, and it spurred sales of his entire catalog in an era when most people still bought CDs. But more importantly, it also marked the return of the Prince people knew, one who wasn’t completely refusing to be who he’d been, and not just musically: The weird outfits and otherworldly hairstyles had been replaced by sleek, classy suits and a short, trim cut.

The year’s creative efforts also gave him a model for how to pursue the rest of his career. Any time he wanted another million (or ten), he’d hit the road in some new and unusual way. Over the following years he played everything from a months-long Las Vegas residency to a premium-price one at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood; from a series of 21 dates at London’s Wembley Arena to a handful of shows in specific regions of the U.S. — even the Carolinas. He played brief “Hit and Run” tours that were announced just days before they launched; and of course he staged what is universally considered to be the greatest Super Bowl Halftime performance of all time in 2007. By contrast, his last tour, shortly before his death in 2016, was just him accompanying himself on piano. He kept finding new ways to keep himself interested.

And although he wouldn’t again reach the upper echelons of the charts in his lifetime and his albums continued to be frustratingly hit-or-miss, his sense of innovation returned with “3121,” the album that followed “Musicology” — on it, fans of “Sign O’ the Times,” which many regard as the peak of his creativity, could find much to grab onto, at least for the first half of the album. Unfortunately, most of the other albums he released in these years were maddeningly inconsistent (and sometimes appallingly bad) but although you won’t find any hidden “Purple Rain”s, there are overlooked gems to be found on many of them — like “Lavaux” and “Laydown” from “20Ten” (the latter of which features the priceless line, “from the heart of Minnesota/ Here come the purple Yoda”), and “Better With Time” and especially “ Ol’ Skool Company ” from “MPLSoUND.” Every once in a while on those albums and others, the Prince you love pops up with something so great it’s as if he’d never gone anywhere. And that’s really the gift of his scattershot, impossibly vast musical output — even though he’s no longer here, there’ll always be something new to find.

“Musicology” was the end of Prince’s wilderness years, and in every way, it set him up for the remaining dozen years of his much-too-brief life.

Run, Moscow, run! The Russian capital’s top jogging routes

Over the last five years or so running has grown in popularity in the Russian capital. Amateurs and professionals alike are donning their trainers more frequently and burning calories all over Moscow. Introverts, party people, and endorphin junkies are making strides in parks, on the roads, along embankments - anywhere they can. Russia Beyond presents Moscow’s main running spots.  

Luzhniki Stadium

Who : For those who like to run with like-minded people

Distance : 5 km

Starting place : By Vorobievy Gory metro

This is perhaps the most popular running route in Moscow. It loops around Luzhniki Stadium, along Novoluzhnetsy Lane, and Luzhnetskaya Waterfront. It has a running track made of rubberized asphalt (which is a good shock absorber for joints and soles), a view of the Moscow City skyscrapers and the MSU building, little traffic, and there are always many runners, since the itinerary is considered the best in Moscow (it will get tight on the tracks). You won’t get any rest from the city’s hustle and bustle, but you can make new friends here, stretch out on the equipped platforms, and safely leave your belongings at the Adidas Runbase.

Frunzenskaya and Prechistenskaya Waterfront

Start your journey by Luzhniki Stadium and jog along the riverfront.

Who: For those who enjoy an evening or night run

Distance : 10 km

This track is lit up with buildings and objects with spectacular night illuminations. That’s why the best time to run here is after sunset. Start your journey by Luzhniki Stadium and jog along the riverfront. You will see the Russian Academy of Sciences building, which is nicknamed the “Golden Brain ” d ue the metallic decoration on the roof, the National Center for Managing Russia’s Defense, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, Moscow’s bridges, and the former chocolate factory, Red October.

Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo Park

Who : For those curious about Moscow’s mansions

Starting place : From Voykovskaya metro station - it takes 15 minutes to get to the park from here

Pokrovskoye-Streshnevo is a former Moscow aristocratic mansion from the 17th century. Its owner was in the service of the first four Romanov tsars and was Peter the Great’s tutor. The main feature of this run in the manor house. Around it stretches a vast territory with a pond and old park with lime trees, birches, and oaks. The park has asphalt and dirt paths, clean air, and many approachable squirrels. During the week it is empty here so you can find some peace and quiet. But during the weekends many people gather by the pond.

Kitai-gorod – Chistye prudy

The best itinerary for a sightseeing tour of Moscow.

Who: For those who want to see central Moscow

Starting place : From Taganskaya metro station you can run towards the riverfront

This is the best itinerary for a sightseeing tour of Moscow. The route takes you past one of the city’s iconic classical buildings, Pashkov House, then past Lenin Library, the Historical Museum, Kremlin, Bolshoi Theater, and other important buildings of the capital. However, there is one issue you need to watch out for: Your GPS will stop working because of the jamming devices around the Kremlin. Be prepared.

Sadovoye Ring

Run here early in the morning, while the air is still clean.

Who : For those looking to take it easy

Distance : 16 km

Starting place : Run clockwise or counterclockwise from Park Kultury metro station

From the 16th to 18th centuries, there were military barricades protecting Moscow from raids along this circular route. Today Moscow stretches far beyond these borders and the Sadovoye Ring delineates the city center.

Let’s be honest, however: This is not the best route for running. Although this is precisely why it attracts hundreds of people. There are no conditions for runners here: There are many cars, long rows of streetlights, and pedestrians who look at you with confusion. But Sadovoye is full of wide sidewalks, light, and great views of the famous Stalin high-rises, theaters, philharmonics, architectural monuments, and the Moscow River from the Crimea Bridge. Run here early in the morning, while the air is still clean.

It has broad lanes with restored pavilions and fountains, so running here is pure pleasure.

Who : Admirers of Soviet architecture

Distance : 3 km

Starting place : From VDNKh metro walk 300 meters to the main entrance

VDNKh (Exhibition of Achievements of National Economy), one of the most prominent examples of Soviet architecture, has always been popular with runners. It has broad lanes with restored pavilions and fountains, so running here is pure pleasure. Start by the arc of the main entrance and run deep inside along the central lane. The route will continue over 3 km because VDNKh’s territory smoothly merges into the territory of the Botanical Gardens, which is basically endless.

Timiryazevsky Park

Timiryazevsky Park always has clean air and many routes skirting rugged terrain.

Who : For those craving rugged terrain

Distance : 3km

Starting place : From Timiryazevsky metro station turn onto Academic Lisitsin Street and walk until Timiryazevskaya Street. When you see the forest, you know you’ve arrived.

This is definitely not a place for those you like smooth surfaces. It is one of Moscow’s largest forest parks and it is easy to get lost here. But with a GPS you will not have this problem. Timiryazevsky Park always has clean air and many routes skirting rugged terrain. There are also many dog-walkers here.
