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.

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.

It should cost a billion to look this good, and judging by every stunning look worn by Beyoncé on her worldwide Renaissance Tour , it just might have.

The stylish stunner turned heads all Summer ’23 with her immaculate stage show, impressing audiences with grande production, powerful vocals, and a wardrobe made to dazzle beneath disco lights. Representing for both fashion ‘s biggest names and lesser-known artisans, to call the collection impressive would be an understatement. Bey and her fellow performers donned over 140 looks as she journeyed from Sweden (where she debuted the unforgettable LOEWE bodysuit) to Kansas City, where she wrapped up the tour this weekend ahead of announcing a new film based on the historic trek.

Thanks to the hard work of stylists Shiona Turini, Julia Sarr-Jamois, Karen Langley and KJ Moody, Beyoncé was able to showcase a new level of style that felt both fresh and familiar, citing classic looks from music videos and past performances, all while requiring the absolute best from fashion houses like Jimmy Choo , Fendi, Versace, Marc Jacobs, Pucci, Gucci, and more. Bey was also certain to highlight Black designers , including Feben, Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo, Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, Ibrahim Kamara for Off-White, LaQuan Smith and her own Ivy Park creations.

Every look surely involved high attention to detail to execute, making it almost impossible to analyze and rank so many amazing ‘fits. Still, we did exactly that, ranking these custom masterpieces from good-to-absolutely breathtaking.

She’s *that* girl.

The summer renaissance has begun. Beyoncé kicked off her Renaissance Tour in Sweden on Wednesday, May 10, and to no one’s surprise, she did not disappoint. There was the setlist of hit after hit , from classics like “Dangerously in Love” for the first time since 2009, to new hits like “CUFF IT” for the first time ever. There was also intricate choreography (she *did* win Best Dance Album at this year’s Grammys ) and the stage presence Queen Bey is known for . But some of the standout moments from Night 1 of the Renaissance Tour included the unparalleled rotation of outfits.

Bey hit the stage for the first time since her viral, invite-only Dubai show in January, wearing a silver Alexander McQueen bodysuit and made several costume changes throughout the nearly three-hour set . Many of the looks leaned into the psychedelic, disco imagery from the Renaissance album, while others were nods to her past, such as a vintage-inspired bee costume like no other. There were even some pieces that became living artwork.

Since it’s clear the multi-hyphenate pays attention to even the smallest of details, it’s time to shine a light (of your halo?) on the Renaissance Tour fashion that fans were most crazy in love with.

A Hands-On Bodysuit

During her performance of “Drunk in Love,” Beyoncé appeared on stage wearing one of her most talked about ensembles of the night: a custom bodysuit with hand silhouettes covering very specific places of her body.

Loewe Creative Director Jonathan Anderson, who was the mastermind behind the piece (as well as Rihanna’s Super Bowl look ), said the ensemble, along with another silver shimmering outfit, were inspired by fine art , drawing on “sculptural forms, trompe l’oeil, and illusion,” as well as Anderson’s feelings of “escapist joy” from Renaissance . The sultry ‘fit was elevated by Bey’s own black latex gloves and red mani. Where does the suit start and end?

A UV Light Color-Changing Dress

In another interpretation of incorporating art and fashion, Bey transformed a white gown and headpiece into a colorful mosaic using innovative UV light technology designed by Japanese label Anrealage. Yes, she really is *that* girl.

A Tribute To Disco

Renaissance spans genres, including pop, R&B, and most notably disco. With the album’s dedication to Beyoncé’s late Uncle Jonny — her godmother and “the most fabulous gay man” she ever met — who “was the first person to expose” her to this kind of music and culture, you can bet that the fashion would also get that ‘70s treatment. This particular ‘fit designed by David Koma, along with several others, embodied total psychedelic disco vibes, incorporating everything from a holographic oversized jacket, a trippy printed dress, and tall snakeskin boots.

Beyoncé’s fiercely loyal fanbase was ecstatic when Queen Bey called out, “Where’s my Bey Hive?” in an ensemble inspired by a 1997 Mugler antennae headpiece . This wasn’t Bey’s first bee-inspired tour costume , but it’s definitely her most extravagant.

Aside from the obvious bee similarities, the outfit also seemed to be social commentary. She performed as a news anchor for KNTY 4 News (*cough cough*), leading some fans to believe she was speaking on mind control through the media or a continuation of her labor remarks (with her ‘worker bees’) from “BREAK MY SOUL.”

‘Wearable Album’ Couture

Beyoncé performed throwback “Rather Die Young” in this cagey Balmain pearled bodysuit with patent knee-high boots. The singer recently collaborated with Balmain for a Renaissance collection , with a couture piece for each track on the album. The pieces incorporated chandelier-like skirts and spiky bustiers to establish something new: a “ wearable album .” While the ‘fit from the tour isn’t from the couture collection, it feels like a more everyday (if you’re Beyoncé) version of some of the pieces.

A Nod To The Renaissance Album Cover

Fans were wondering if Reneigh, the bedazzled silver horse on the Renaissance album cover , would make an appearance on tour. Thankfully, the answer is yes. At the end of her set, Bey saddled up in a drapey silver ‘fit that matched Reneigh, and the two rode over the crowd .

If this is just Night 1, the Bey Hive is eager to see what other tricks the queen has up her sleeve.

The 12 Best Looks From Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour

By Daniel Rodgers

After 56 dates attended by a cool 2.7 million fans, Beyoncé has called curtains on the Renaissance . The most important musician of our time, she spent four months constructing a nightclub fantasia, her charisma and vocal acrobatics rivalling that of Prince, Tina Turner, and Elvis. And though she might have spent just as much time teasing (and then deciding not to release) those so-called album visuals, she managed to go one better, showcasing visually stunning clothes in person.

There was custom Mugler and custom Loewe and custom Rick Owens and custom Ferragamo , each outfit worn with all the bragging rights of an ascendant star of the ballroom. And just as the album namechecked almost every fashion house in the business ( Versace , Bottega Veneta , Prada , Balenciaga , Louis Vuitton , Dior , Givenchy , Hermès , Telfar and Chanel ), Beyoncé refused to settle on, or squeeze herself into, a single vision. She wore at least one designer from each country she visited and she commissioned a toast of all-Black designers for her Juneteenth show.

By Alice Cary

The entire tour felt futuristic and extravagant and camp, and it was, at times, difficult to recognise which designer had created which costume. But such is the power of Beyoncé: to look like nothing other than Beyoncé, tricked out in rhinestones and sequins and metallic capes. It’s estimated that these costumes earned upwards of $187 million in media impact for her chosen collaborators, proving that fashion might need Beyoncé more than Beyoncé needs fashion. She is more than a muse; she is the creator.

Here, we revisit some of the best looks to have emerged on the Renaissance tour, from Gareth Pugh ’s celestial breastplates to Mugler’s homage to Queen Bee and Ivy Park’s ode to “ Survivor ”.

Beyoncé debuted two striking looks at her “ Renaissance World Tour ” concert in St. Louis on Monday, channeling the futuristic theme of her tour in Loewe and later paying homage to her fan base with a bee-inspired costume.

The songstress’ look from the Spanish fashion house channeled her song “Alien Superstar” with a chrome bra and a matching corset paired with a side-slit skirt in satin jersey material. She completed her outfit with Venus pumps by The Attico, details of which included a crystal-encrusted suede trim.

The singer began her “Renaissance World Tour” in May and is now wrapping up the last month of the worldwide music event. Her next show is in Phoenix on Thursday.

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 shows 8.23 to 9.22!” part of the statement read.

Throughout the tour, Beyoncé has showcased a slew of scene-stealing looks, working with Balmain, Brandon Blackwood, Valdrin Sahiti, Jacquemus, David Koma, LaQuan Smith and other high-fashion designers.

Beyoncé is in the midst of her stunning, groundbreaking and stylish ‘Renaissance Tour,’ and just donned a concert costume that fans are enamored with. The Grammy winner dropped her seventh hit studio album, Renaissance , last summer and has been touring the globe in support of it since early last month.

The “Cuff It” hitmaker rocked an apt bee costume (as fans affectionately refer to her as Queen Bey and themselves as the Beyhive) during her London tour stops this week, and her devotees can’t get enough!

The curve-hugging and one-of-a-kind ensemble was custom-designed by Mugler’s creative director Casey Cadwallader for the “Break My Soul” singer’s shows in the UK capital city.

See All Beyoncé’s Best Looks from Her Renaissance World Tour — from Balmain to Ivy Park

Sequins, silver and more! Here's a look at the Grammy winner's best stage costumes on her sold-out tour

Kevin Mazur/WireImage

If there’s anyone who will deliver the most outstanding tour wardrobe, it's Beyoncé .

Since embarking on her international Renaissance tour – supporting her expansive discography, from the classics to her new Renaissance tracks – in May, the 32-time Grammy winner has proved that she isn't afraid to push the envelope when it comes to her daring stage costumes.

Performing for nearly three hours during each of her shows hasn't stopped the global superstar from commanding attention from her Beyhive fans in some of the most creative, avant-garde designs.

Ahead, see Beyoncé's best show looks so far.

Chromatic Cowgirl

Kevin Mazur/WireImage for Parkwood

What's one way to make an all-silver ensemble pop? More silver! These Christian Louboutin thigh-high boots designed with tiers of fringe took Beyoncé's dazzling cowgirl getup to the next level.

Mirror, Mirror

Beyonce to Parkwood Entertainment

DUNDAS created a head-to-toe reflective look featuring a metallic leather admirals coat, a plunging embellished bustier teamed with a matching mini skirt, gloves and a monogrammed hat.

Mod-est Fashion

Among the sea of neoteric metallic looks is this retro black-and-white striped Marc Jacobs gem decked out in Swarovski crystals.

Beyoncé Barbie

Beyonce/Parkwood

Acne Studios hopped on board to create an all-pink look for the superstar's Minneapolis show. This outfit featured a metallic leather cape, seemingly attached to a cropped blazer, a corset with matching shorts, and rose-tinted sunglasses. She also wore glittery over-the-knee boots.

Ruffling Feathers

It's clear that Beyoncé favors embellishments for her statement looks. In Chicago, she wore a Schiaparelli Haute Couture silk bustier dress and a high-drama stole embroidered with feathers and stones.

Extra High-Fashion Armor

For her stop in The Windy City, Beyoncé also shone bright like the moon wearing Marine Serre.

The label, which Beyoncé became a fan of early on, designed a body chain harness made out of silver cutlery, which was layered over a skintight catsuit accented with reflective panels and Marine Serre's crescent moon motif. The metallic colorway continued down into the shoes gunmetal gray strap kitten heels.

Not pictured: Beyoncé's over-the-top silver hat.

McQueen for Queen B

In Nashville, Beyoncé wore a custom Alexander McQueen bodice – embroidered with silver bugle beads, sequins and crystals and crafted with a sweetheart neckline – as well as matching gloves and boots.

Beads Galore

Givenchy provided one of the newer looks in Beyoncé's wardrobe for her U.S. tour – a cutout micro dress draping in glass beads, stones and bugles. And of course, there were gloves.

Team Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co., the official jeweler of the Renaissance Tour added a bespoke dress made with chains of bezel-set stones to its Renaissance collection, which also includes diamond-encrusted in-ear-monitors .

Inspired by Elsa Peretti's designs, the gown – which Beyoncé wore to open her first North American tour stop in Toronto – is crafted from approximately 150 feet of mesh ribbon and woven with 300,000 rings in the mesh. The whole piece took over 200 hours to execute. She complemented the look with vintage stud earrings and a custom anklet.

A Camo Queen

Another look that the singer debuted in Toronto was this camouflage sequined bodysuit, which she wore with a cropped jacket (featuring mega shoulder pads!), gloves and over-the-knee boots.

A part of Beyoncé's new look was also her "Crème Brûlée Blonde" hair color, a tri-blonde hue achieved by celebrity hairstylist Rita Hazan , who tells PEOPLE exclusively that she used three shades of blonde to create dimensional "creamy"-looking highlights that complement her skin tone. The pro built the colorway on top of the singer's " Sunwashed Blonde " hue revealed in May – "This is an essential way to go blonder over time without damaging your hair," she advises.

"She loves to switch up her color and style and likes to have fun with her color," Hazan says of working with Beyoncé.

This Mugler bodysuit certainly had a lot of buzz. Beyoncé wore the bug-like bodysuit – topped off with an antenna headpiece (which later broke during a wardrobe malfunction in London) – for her performance of "America Has a Problem."

It's campness was elevated with vinyl over-the-knee boots.

Futuristic Vision

Beyoncé chose Balmain for this metallic silver armor, made by designer Olivier Rousteing, with whom the singer released a Renaissance -inspired collection earlier this year.

An Angelic Moment

Dutch label Iris van Herpen created this heavenly one-of-a-kind look over the course of 700 hours. The halo-inspired Heliosphere gown, which Beyoncé wore for her Tina Turner tribute, was made of almost a thousand , individually stitched falcate embellishments that were molded into dimensional shapes by casting silver-marbled silicone.

Ivy Park Pride

Kevin Mazur/WireImage 

Beyoncé celebrated Juneteenth during her show in Amsterdam by wearing costumes exclusively made by Black designers, including herself.

The "Cuff It" singer rocked this hot pink look – consisting of a sequin crisscross bodysuit, gloves and fur coat (taken off mid-performance) – that was created through her label Ivy Park and inspired by "Studio 54, [legendary designer] Bob Mackie and the disco era," she wrote on Instagram.

Soaring High in Style

For "Summer Renaissance," the finale song, Beyoncé suspends above the crowd seated atop a blinged-out horse, before flying around the stadium to greet her fans.

In Warsaw, Poland, she debuted a green-and-white ensemble complete with a sequin one-piece, sparkly boots and a trailing cape lined with black lycra.

Lady in Red

Another celebratory Juneteenth outfit came courtesy of Maximilian Davis , creative director of Ferragamo. An elegant ruby red gown, embroidered with crystals, embedded Old Hollywood glamour to her otherwise over-the-top looks. She teamed the one-piece with silver wrist cuffs.

Blue Fit for Royalty

Beyoncé pulled out this regal blue Roksanda number for her London concert. The design stole the show with its sculptural full-body silhouette.

Spacing Out

Beyoncé transformed into a Gucci goddess in Amsterdam, wearing a custom bodysuit laced with iridescent gemstone chains. Her one-piece was layered with a sheer chainmail long-sleeve top also embellished with light-reflective rhinestones. Her accessories: an orbit-shaped hat and cat-eye sunglasses with bling.

Too Classy for this World!

In Warsaw, Beyoncé tapped into her "Alien Superstar" energy with this out-of-this-world Richard Quinn ensemble – a head-to-toe bejeweled suit topped off with a spaceship-shaped face covering.

And More Silver

On the last stop of her European leg, Beyoncé glittered like a disco ball in this Balmain one-shoulder gown made with a flared-out bodice and velvet black gloves.

A Silvery, Shimmering Summer of Beyoncé

The Renaissance tour is a blueprint for how to cultivate pleasure and hold onto it at all costs.

In late August, Beyoncé shared a story on Instagram: She asked those attending upcoming Renaissance World Tour dates to come dressed in silver. It was her birthday wish. “We’ll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night,” she wrote. “Everybody mirroring each other’s joy.” It was a rare request from a woman who, in the last 10 years, has pulled back almost entirely from media interactions, preferring to speak only through her art.

Three nights later, in Las Vegas, the town glimmered with anticipation. Everyone understood the assignment: Gleaming chrome thigh-high boots, glittering purses, shiny Telfar bags and rhinestone cowboy hats caught and bounced back the light from the stark desert sun, sending Morse signals to the rest of us who were in town for the same reason. There were strings of discarded rhinestones piled on slot machines, sequined bras abandoned in bathrooms and errant pieces left in the back seat of nearly every cab, Lyft and Uber I got into. In a city where there are dozens of large-scale events occurring simultaneously, the Beyoncé effect rolled through like an earthquake. Or maybe an eclipse.

Silver is the most powerful conductor on the planet; it moves electricity faster and more efficiently than any other material. On that night, tens of thousands of people draped in that lustrous color formed a circuit of pure energy. The stadium glowed. The human disco ball of Beyoncé’s dreams was also a renewable energy source. Charging up people. Charging up ideas. Charging up momentum. The stadium twinkled, each flash of silver a reminder of the constellation of moments that we move through, that sustain us. That even if they are few and far between, they are enough.

Renaissance, which kicked off in Stockholm in May, was Beyoncé’s first tour in nearly seven years, with 56 shows worldwide, tied to her 2022 album of the same name. In recent years, her musical projects have become more declarative of her personal values. “Homecoming” celebrated historically Black universities; “Lemonade” charted the arc of her husband’s infidelity into their redemption. (She is married to the rapper Shawn Carter, a.k.a. Jay-Z.) And now “Renaissance”: an ode to Black queer and trans history, told through a dreamscape of house music that could easily double as a soundtrack for a druggy Brooklyn sex party. Live, the production of “Renaissance” was maximalist, even operatic. Pyrotechnics punctuated beat drops, and there were at least six outfit changes per show (with new looks each show), nearly two dozen dancers, a full band, acrobatics and a finale in which Beyoncé rides a crystal horse, deity-like, through a blizzard of silver confetti.

Anything Beyoncé does becomes a cultural event, but the Renaissance World Tour has become a cultural movement. People are crossing the globe to see her, comparing set lists and fashion choices, attending multiple shows. Silver and rhinestones have become Renaissance signals, as recognizable as any brand logo. Products that she used on tour are selling out, and chrome is appearing in fall look books. Video and photos from the tour have blanketed social media for months, documenting the challenges she issues to the crowd — including one tied to her song “Energy,” during which, after she sings the line “look around everybody on mute,” she pauses, waiting to see if the crowd can calm down enough to follow suit. Fans are also charting the budding confidence of Blue Ivy Carter, Beyoncé’s eldest child, who made her stage debut this year. There are Reddit threads dedicated to post-show comedowns. And the tour has surpassed the previous record for highest-grossing by a solo female artist, which was previously held by Madonna in 2009. By its close, Beyoncé will have generated an estimated $4.5 billion for the American economy, about as much as the 2008 Olympics did for Beijing.

The path of totality has changed nearly everyone who stepped into it. Oprah shared a video of her reaction to Beyoncé’s performance on her Instagram. Standing in a nondescript room, hands crossed, she was uncharacteristically speechless. “I couldn’t scream,” she says, her voice hoarse with emotion. “I was in awe. ... That is like the most extraordinary thing I’ve ever seen.” Oprah’s best friend, Gayle King, has made the pilgrimage too, of course. So have Lenny Kravitz, Pharrell Williams, Kelly Rowland, Jeff Bezos, Paul McCartney, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, LeBron James, Dua Lipa, Vice President Kamala Harris, Shakira, Madonna, Angela Bassett, Natalie Portman, Megan Thee Stallion, Zendaya and Tom Holland and many others.

Across several shows, I’ve watched people process the sensory overload of the performance. Some danced for hours straight; others stood still, hands clasped to chests, reverential, tears streaming down their faces. Folks who couldn’t be there were FaceTimed in. Strangers fanned one another, hugged, encouraged one another to dance when they sat down to rest. The closer my seats were to Beyoncé, however, the less people seemed to move. Instead, they absorbed the full force of her with their entire bodies, not unlike opening the oven to check on a roast and feeling your eyebrows singe a little.

She opened that night in Vegas, as she does every show of the tour, with “Dangerously in Love,” a song from the earliest days of her solo career, about devotion tinged with obsession. It’s an oath, the musical equivalent of pressing two bloody thumbs together. She started singing the song at 19, when she was first falling for Jay-Z. More than 20 years later, time and maturity have decanted the song into something richer.

Beyoncé has always been able to utilize her voice with the precision of a lab technician, inspecting riffs and pulling syllables apart, pipetting out sounds and testing the resonance of melodies. Now that she was onstage in front of stadiums of rapt fans, the fruits of years of experimentation were on full display.

Beyoncé, 42, has figured out how to adjust her voice (her characteristic growl floats in falsetto) and adjust her body language (more benevolent, like a gilded patroness) to abstract the object and subject of the song. The fluttery “I love you”s at the beginning no longer feel like a confessional. They feel like a pledge. By the time she slides into the line “I can’t do this thing called life without you here with me,” it feels as if she has left the recklessness of young love behind. Now she is singing about her legacy, her career, her fans, this world she built for herself. There’s a vocal run toward the end of the song that rises out of Beyoncé’s throat and finds its way into your chest, unclenching any stuck emotions that might be lodged in there.

As a singer and a songwriter, Beyoncé — like all pop stars — is a scholar of love. As she says on the album, it is her weakness. She has been drunk on it, driven crazy by it, trying to get over it, craving it. Historically, it seemed elusive to her. Yet now it seems that she has found a surplus of it to radiate back out. If love is a feeling in the heart, pleasure is its embodied action. And finding that pleasure is not only a hedonistic pursuit, as Audre Lorde wrote in her landmark essay “Uses of the Erotic: The Erotic as Power,” it is a question of how much “we can feel in the doing.”

The feeling in the doing is at the center of the Renaissance World Tour. It is made material in the shape of a giant hole cut into the center of the stage, where Beyoncé’s band performs. It’s like the inside of a disco ball. The album “Renaissance” opens with a sample of a verse from the Memphis rapper Princess Loko that intones, “Please, [expletive] ain’t stopping me.” During the concert, Beyoncé lets the sample loop again and again, for longer than it does on the track. The effect is exhilarating. “Renaissance” as an album is a blueprint for how to cultivate pleasure and hold onto it at all costs; the tour is a chance to practice the vision for the world we hope to live in, and simultaneously release grief for the one that we do live in.

There are two very different revivals being proposed in this country right now. In Las Vegas, the distinction could not have been clearer. Beyoncé performed at the south end of the famous glitzy strip, while the Trump International hotel, a beacon for so much disappointment and so many deferred desires, loomed at the northern end. Beyoncé has said that she spent the grim days of the pandemic making the “Renaissance” album, which is the first of a three-part series. A renaissance, after all, is another way of bringing something back. And what does Beyoncé think is worthy of resurrection? Love, freedom, safety. It’s another type of insurrection. And what she is inciting is the will to fully inhabit your body.

One of the most striking moments of the show comes during the secular club anthem “Church Girl,” when Beyoncé sings — well, not so much sings as howls in a way that the words blur together and become a keyhole through which to slip — “Soon as I get it in this party, I’m gon’ let go of this body, I’m gonna love on me.” In concert, she blends this song with an earlier iteration of a similar invocation, her 2006 track “Get Me Bodied,” a raucous 1.0 version of “Church Girl.” Each song is a meditation on the deliciousness of releasing the body through movement and how that can awaken the senses further. Only now, she has figured out how to do that for herself, without any external validation. From there, the song fades into Beyoncé’s cover of “Before I Let Go,” the classic summer anthem by Maze featuring Frankie Beverly. Her dancers break into a familiar and familial dance — the Electric Slide. Communal dance has the uncanny ability to reunite the body and spirit; many of the tools of embodiment are already located in Black social rituals. If that release seems unsafe or scary, Beyoncé and her dancers seem to say, a few different ways, let us show you how. Multiple times during the show, visuals of spread legs appeared arranged around the perimeter of the stage’s glory hole, with the perspective zooming ahead, inviting us in. Get inside your body, or if you can’t, come inside mine.

A common criticism of the Knowles-Carters is that their efforts to accumulate assets, power and liberties have felt all-consuming. Yet, during “Pure/Honey,” there’s a moment when the stage transforms into a soul-train line and ballroom stage. And then Beyoncé does something extraordinary: She switches bodies with her dancers. Which is to say, she trades places with them, turning her back on the main stage (a full-body mic drop), and lets her tremendous team of dancers inherit her place. The dancers, emboldened by the spotlight, take turns vogueing and cat-walking down the stages. It is one of the most triumphant moments of the tour.

Now that she was onstage in front of stadiums of rapt fans, the fruits of years of experimentation were on full display.

We live in extremely unfeeling times. Reckoning with compounding climate crises, escalating economic pressures and broader global turns toward bigotry and fascism can have an anesthetizing effect on the body and mind. The Renaissance tour has become something of an antidote to that. The show feels like a three-hour somatic workshop on remembering how to feel any feelings that you can access, whether they be elation or sorrow. Beyoncé herself is modeling it. On “Cuff It,” she asks, Have you ever had fun like this? She delivers the answer in her performance. Her sense of humor is on full display, from outfit choices to exaggerated facial expressions. For all the versions of Beyoncé we’ve seen in her career — beauty queen, vixen, scorned women — stand-up comedian might be her most uninhibited. But as much as the Renaissance World Tour is limned with the beauty of aliveness and vitality, it is also preoccupied with mortality. She is deeply aware of the precarity of Black, queer and trans life. On “Heated,” she sings, “Liberated, livin’ like we ain’t got time.” Pleasure at the world’s end feels nearly impossible. And yet Beyoncé shows us that it is our birthright. Back when the original track list for “Renaissance” was released, fans saw the title “America Has a Problem” and assumed it would be a rallying anthem honoring Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. Instead, the song takes an oppositional tactic. America’s problem, she posits, is our having too much freedom.

The first time I saw her, at the New York-area show, it was the same night that a young Black gay man named O’Shae Sibley was stabbed to death for vogueing to her lyrics at a gas station in Brooklyn. There was an awful collision that night between the optimism of resilience — more than 50,000 people screaming “you won’t break my soul” into the night felt like a defiant incantation — and the unchecked violence that threatens trans and queer people relentlessly. On one of the days I saw her in Las Vegas, a white man opened fire in a Dollar General in Jacksonville, Fla., intentionally targeting and killing three Black people. The shift between the ecstasy of the concert and the reality of the world was so disconcerting it was almost physically painful. The concert inserted me back into my body so fully that I couldn’t avoid the broader questions it raised: about the inverse relationship between queer and trans visibility and violence; the price to access this transformative space, prohibitive to most; and how to square some of Beyoncé’s more radical ideas with the gospel of Black capitalism (as she sings, “this kind of love, big business”). And yet, despite grappling with all that, I was reduced to tears listening to the rhapsodic synthesizers that score the speech of Dr. Barbara Ann Teer, founder of the National Black Theater, which soars out of the end of “Alien Superstar,” about the beauty in Black expression. Internal conflicts aside, I was moved by the power inherent in the scale of her message, on loving yourself in a world that would rather see you dead. In many ways, “Renaissance,” like the ballads at the top of the show, is also an elegy. But Beyoncé isn’t the undertaker; she is directing the second-line band at the funeral procession.

“Deep time” is a term that refers to the geological history of Earth. It requires the brain to reorient its scale, to think about time in billion-year chronologies, rather than days or months. It can cause some wrestling with the twinned significance and insignificance of our lives. At one point during the show, a quotation from Albert Einstein flashes on the screen: “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” What we know is limited. What we can imagine — especially for ourselves — is limitless. The concert is punctuated with visuals that offer a sense of Beyoncé’s cosmology: graphics of her soaring through expansive galaxies, including a winged robotic version of the singer astride a rocket navigating outer space. The imagery is suggestive of other ways of being, outside of Earth, known and unknown.

In her lifelong career, Beyoncé has not stopped to wait for anyone else to anoint her (if she did, she would probably still be waiting). And one way to view “Renaissance” is akin to a personal retrospective. Most pop projects (and much of our cultural fixation on self-improvement) revolve around reinvention, discarding past selves to make way for the new. Beyoncé exhumes all her eras and updates them as needed. During her song “Run the World,” “GWORLS,” a colloquial word for trans femmes, flashed on the video screens every time the call-and-repeat stomp of the chorus called out “girls.”

But Beyoncé is also an archivist. The show functions as an altar to her influences: A celestial giggle pays homage to Janet Jackson, and a metallic chest piece nods to Whitney Houston in “The Bodyguard.” The velocity of a hair flip recalls Tina Turner. Quick hips resurrect Josephine Baker’s banana skirt. Beyoncé’s musical production, headed by her, involves tethering parts of “Renaissance” to her earlier catalog, showcasing an evolution of narrative and musical priorities. Live, she braids “Virgo’s Groove” with earlier love songs, “Rocket” and “Say My Name,” diagraming the arrival of a woman confident in her sexuality and partnership. Much of the show’s sartorial catalog is also self-referential. A bee costume designed by Casey Cadwallader for the Mugler brand nods to Beyoncé’s collaborations with Thierry Mugler over the years. A pair of oversize flip-phone earrings recalls her song “Video Phone.” As much as she is taking us through a tour of her music, she is reminding us of the ways that notions about Black femininity have always defined it. She seems to be on a personal mission to rewire how Blackness is understood to be integral and core to America and the world.

A particularly emotional moment arrives when Blue Ivy takes the stage during “MY POWER,” a song from Beyoncé’s 2020 visual album, “Black Is King.” From the time she was born, Blue Ivy has been bullied online for her facial features and hair texture. Here, Beyoncé gestures to her, during the song’s lyric “this that kinfolk, this that skinfolk, this that war, this that bloodline,” as they begin a mother-and-daughter choreography. Her power, which she seems to be passing along to Blue Ivy in that moment, is a fortification against the outside world. It is another kind of legacy, the ability to author her own story, in the ways she will see fit. In one of the most dramatic set changes, Beyoncé appears in a large shimmering clamshell, Botticelliesque and supine, in a bejeweled bodysuit with coyly placed fabric handprints, signaling satirical modesty and also suggestive of self-pleasuring. Beyoncé has emulated a Black Venus for years, including in a lavish photo shoot by Awol Erizku in 2017, when she was pregnant with her twins, Rumi and Sir. The phrase “Black Venus” has also been used to describe Saartjie Baartman, a South African woman who was forcibly exhibited in the early 1800s, nearly naked, for Europeans to gawk at. It seems that as much as Beyoncé is authoring her own image, she is also invoking those who could not.

At one of the shows I saw, Beyoncé closed the show by telling her audience — while flying around the stadium in a dazzling sequined cape — that she hoped they felt loved. That they felt safe. She implored everyone to remember where they were. Before we all left, she encouraged everyone to take a mental picture of the way they felt, whose arms they were holding, the fullness of their heart. “You can return to it anytime.”

An earlier version of this article referred incorrectly to the designer of Beyoncé’s bee costume. It was inspired by Thierry Mugler’s earlier work and designed by Casey Cadwallader for the Mugler brand. It was not designed by Thierry Mugler.

Let there Bey light. 

This week, Beyoncé kicked off her Renaissance world tour in Stockholm and fans went wild for her multiple costume changes throughout the 37-song set. Perhaps the most show-stopping look, though, was a white bell-sleeved Anrealage coat that, when exposed to UV light that slowly moved down her body, turned into a kaleidoscope of colors.

After the coat’s transformation, the singer cooly took it off to reveal a pearl-embellished Balmain bodysuit underneath.

Social media observers went wild for the futuristic fashion, hailing her as “ the queen of AI ” and “ BeyoncéGPT ” — in a nod to ChatGPT.

But there was no artificial intelligence involved in the high-tech stage high jinks.

Rather, it appeared to be the handiwork of Tokyo designer Kunihiko Morinaga, who wowed fashionistas at Paris fashion week in March by making similar fashion magic.

There, Morinaga integrated his light-dependent polychromic technology into faux fur, velvet, lace, knits, jacquards and satins, according to Vogue .

For the garments, he reportedly uses photosensitive fabrics and materials that change color when exposed to UV rays and direct sunlight — bathing once-colorless togs into a sea of vibrant patterns and colors.

Once the photochromatic areas are no longer exposed to UV rays, the ensembles return to their original color after about three minutes — allowing Beyoncé to remove the coat before the colors faded away. 

Representatives for Anrealage did not respond to The Post’s request for comment about its reported work with Beyoncé. 

The luminescent look was one of nine costume changes Beyoncé made throughout the night — all of them playing on light and color.

Her other stop-and-stare ‘fits included an optical illusion Loewe catsuit that made it appear that hands were covering her body; an iridescent bodysuit with a matching biker jacket and detachable skirt by Georgian designer David Koma; and a yellow-and-black striped Mugler number that she paired with an antennae headpiece in a tip to her #BeyHive fan base.

Beyoncé Wore 300,000 Silver Rings as a Minidress

Beyoncé's "Renaissance" World Tour has arrived, and with it one dazzling concert ensemble after another. On May 10, the Grammy Award-winning artist kicked off the opening night of her tour in Stockholm, Sweden. While performing to a sold-out crowd, Beyoncé made magic happen in an entire collection of custom designer outfits.

Opening the show with "Dangerously in Love," Beyoncé lit up the stage in her first look of the night: a metallic Alexander McQueen catsuit and Tiffany & Co. jewelry styled by Shiona Turini . The one-piece design featured a futuristic silhouette, complete with rounded shoulder pads and prominent hip embellishments. The entire outfit boasted intricate beadwork and an electric design adorned with hundreds of sparkling crystals, which beautifully complemented her chrome manicure.

As the evening progressed, Beyoncé's wardrobe only became more extravagant. In addition to the catsuit, her concert wardrobe included a sequin Courrèges bodysuit with a cyborg-inspired asymmetrical sleeve. She paired the look with ruched thigh-high boots in white by GEDEBE and a single black glove. During a performance of "Crazy in Love," Beyoncé also wowed in a black Balmain bodysuit with a white netting overlay. Her stylist, Julia Sarr-Jamois , completed the ensemble with sky-high patent leather boots.

Additional looks from the opening night included a shimmering gold Loewe catsuit, a cutout Mugler bodysuit in yellow and silver, and an iridescent wrap dress layered under a reflective jacket by David Koma. Her style team paired the final look with floral statement earrings and ombré cowboy boots. At one point, she even gave a nod to the "Renaissance" album cover in a sheer cape embellished with metallic feathers while riding on top of a crystal horse onstage.

And she's not about to let the same costume set get repetitive, either. The global superstar landed in the UK on May 17 and wowed crowds at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff with her incredible vocals and some new stage outfits. One look, in particular, included a heavily encrusted black and yellow plunging bodysuit. Cementing her status as Queen Bey, the ensemble, inspired by bees, glistened in the lights as she teamed the bodysuit with thigh-high patent boots, sparkly black opera gloves, and eyepatch sunglasses.

Taking the stage on May 29 in London, she debuted yet another outfit, this time with her daughter Blue Ivy in tow. For her performance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Knowles-Carter wore a bespoke, encrusted bustier-style body suit by Off White with matching boots. Blue Ivy matched her mom, wearing a red zippered jumpsuit of her own, replete with dark sunglasses.

On her June 18 show Amsterdam, Netherlands, she honored Juneteenth — the holiday that commemorates June 19, 1865 when enslaved people in Galveston, TX, were finally told they had been freed — by wearing all Black designers . The mother-of-three wore designs from Balmain, Ferragamo (led by creative director Maximilian Davis), and her own Ivy Park to name a few.

Later, on July 9, she wowed in yet another performance look — this time from Elsa Peretti for Tiffany & Co. To open the Toronto show, the superstar wore a custom-made glittering silver dress that took over 200 hours to make. The design was crafted from 150 feet of mesh ribbon with 300,000 rings woven throughout.

And the "Renaissance" tour has only just begun. With additional tour dates recently announced , we expect Beyoncé will be delivering dozens of unforgettable onstage style moments over the next five months. Ahead, see all of the singer's best tour outfits so far.

Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour costumes as books: What to read with Beyoncé on the brain

Purchases you make through our links may earn us and our publishing partners a commission.

Beyoncé’s epic Renaissance World Tour is here, and we're smitten.

In a review of Beyoncé's American tour opener in Philadelphia, USA TODAY's music critic Melissa Ruggieri wrote, "Beyoncé is an unstoppable force of precise movement and vocal dynamics, a superstar who, two months shy of turning 42 and in the where-did-the-time-go third decade of her career, has raised – and cleared – her own ambitious bar yet again."

One crucial ingredient to the tour's impact? The costumes. During her three-hour set, Beyoncé’s wardrobe is striking, full of gorgeous, custom-made piece by top designers. Her looks are so instantly iconic, we had to pair them with equally striking book covers that match the vibe.

Here's what to read when you've got Beyoncé on the brain.

'All of Our Demise,' by Amanda Foody and C.L. Herman

This show-stopping Loewe catsuit reminds us so much of the cover of “All of Our Demise,” the second in the “All of Us Villains” duology (and check out the red nails on the catsuit). This YA fantasy series is like if "The Hunger Games" had dark magic with some very rich, pretentious kids fighting against each other for their family’s right to control all the magic in their city. If you like morally gray characters and messy teen romances, you have to check this series out.

'All Systems Red,' by Martha Wells

We love the futuristic metallics on this tour and how they embody some of our favorite science fiction covers. This bodysuit pairs perfectly with “All Systems Red,” the first of Wells’ novellas in her Murderbot Diaries series, which follows a self-aware security android given to a planetary exploration team in a corporate-dominated future. This series has swept the science fiction scene and its seventh installment, “System Collapse,” comes out Nov. 14.

'Silver Nitrate,' by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

This custom Off-White red suit is such a powerful statement piece and grabs your attention, just like the cover for Moreno-Garcia’s latest release, “Silver Nitrate.” The author of the bestselling book “Mexican Gothic” writes some of our favorite modern genre-benders. “Silver Nitrate,” set in Mexico City in the 1990s, is a dark thriller/horror following a sound editor and a faded soap opera star unraveling a decades-old curse on a lost film.

'The Fragile Threads of Power,' by V.E. Schwab

This stunning custom dress by Roksanda has a floating skirt with matching gloves for an ethereal yet structured look, and it could not be a better fit for “The Fragile Threads of Power.” Schwab returns to the world of “A Darker Shade of Magic” with familiar friends and new enemies in a tale of alternate Londons in a magical feud with one another. We are obsessed with the original Shades of Magic trilogy and can’t wait to go back to Schwab’s London when the book releases Sept. 26.

'Beholder,' by Ryan La Sala

This holographic mini-dress by David Koma is such an eye-catching look, as is the cover of La Sala's "Beholder." This upcoming YA horror is about aesthetics and supernatural conspiracy, following a teen art handler who can rewind the reflections in any mirror, allowing him to look into its recent past. This book is a wild ride that incorporating several genres, and we know it's going to be a hit when it comes out Oct. 3.

'Forging a Nightmare,' by Patricia A. Jackson

This Del Core ensemble with a matching cape and boots atop a crystal horse is one of Beyoncé’s most dramatic looks of the Renaissance tour and it pairs perfectly with the epic cover of Jackson’s “Forging a Nightmare.” This is an adult urban fantasy mystery following an FBI detective who must solve a series of murders in New York City, and it puts a new spin on the four horsemen of the apocalypse –– what a ride!

'The Bees,' by Laline Paull

Donning a custom, standout bee costume by Mugler, Beyoncé pays homage to her fandom, the Beyhive. So naturally, we had to pair this look with Paull’s “The Bees,” a fantasy dystopia about the court politics and inner workings of a bee hive told from the perspective of a lowly sanitation bee. Pitched as “The Handmaid’s Tale” meets “The Hunger Games,” this book has gorgeous prose and compelling drama. If you’re in the hive, this book is worth the buzz.

The 12 best looks Beyoncé has worn on her Renaissance World Tour — so far

• Beyoncé kicked off her Renaissance World Tour on May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden.
• The star has worn one couture outfit after another, and has yet to wear the same one twice.
• Beyoncé's tour looks include a hand-embellished gown, which took 700 hours and 12 people to make.

Much like Taylor Swift's Era's Tour outfits , Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour looks are no regular DIY job — they involve thousands of hours of work and input from world-renowned designers.

The singer has been on tour since May, dazzling her fans in a number of elaborate outfits from semi-sheer catsuits to a minidress that looks like a string of diamond necklaces.

As Beyoncé sings in "Pure/Honey," "it should cost a billion to look that good." Looking at the star's tour wardrobe, it probably does.

Here are some of the best looks from Beyoncé's tour so far.

Beyoncé has worn a number of standout couture looks on her Renaissance World Tour since it began in May 2023. She kicked off the tour in Stockholm, Sweden, where she wore a stunning Alexander McQueen catsuit during her performance.

This custom Alexander McQueen catsuit is one of many looks from the fashion house that Beyoncé has worn on tour.

The gunmetal-gray catsuit had a distinctive shape, featuring a plunging neckline, arched shoulder pads, and a peplum waist with an almost architectural element. The intricate outfit also had rows of silver bugle beads and crystal embroidery.

During the same show, the singer sported a striking Loewe catsuit with hand motifs that created an optical illusion.

Loewe designed the catsuit in collaboration with costume designer Shiona Turini, as the fashion house said on its website .

The sleeveless, gold outfit was completely embellished with crystals, and featured the hand motifs that were seen in Loewe's fall/winter 2022 runway show, according to the brand's website.

Notably, Beyoncé wore matching black opera gloves with red nails poking through to match those printed on the statement catsuit.

That same month, while performing in London, Beyoncé wore a Mugler bee bodysuit and helmet — a reference to her Beyhive fan base.

Nothing would be more fitting for Queen Bey than a queen bee outfit. During a performance in London in May, she donned a custom Mugler bee costume for her adoring fans, also known as the Beyhive.

The outfit consisted of a structural, black-and-yellow bodysuit in the shape of a bee; black, thigh-high, patent-leather boots; and a helmet with dramatic antennae to emulate those of the insect.

The arist wore a stunning Iris van Herpen gown during a June performance in Amsterdam.

During a performance in Amsterdam, Beyoncé performed her opening number "Dangerously in Love," in a dreamy design by Iris van Herpen.

The semi-sheer minidress had silver embellishments and a long train, as well as "wings" sewn into the garment's long sleeves for dramatic effect. The custom "Heliosphere" gown took 700 hours to make, featured close to 1,000 falcate embellishments made with silver-marbled silicone, and was hand-stitched by a team of 12 people, according to an Instagram post shared by the official Iris van Herpen account.

Olivier Rousteing designed a custom Balmain metallic bodysuit for Beyoncé for her Juneteenth show in Amsterdam.

For her Juneteenth looks, Beyoncé opted to exclusively wear creations by Black designers at her June 18 show in Amsterdam.

Rousteing, the creative director, of Balmain was behind one of Beyoncé's standout looks: a bodysuit that the design house called "robo-couture" in an Instagram post.

The star wore the bodysuit for her performance of "I'm That Girl." The industrial-looking garment referenced silver armor and featured metal plates that appeared to be secured by screws. It even covered her hands like a glove. She accessorized with silver thigh-high boots to match.

For the same Juneteenth Renaissance show, Beyoncé wore a red Ferragamo gown.

Beyoncé opted for a stunning, embellished gown with a square neckline and thigh-high slit, designed by Ferragamo creative director Maximilian Davis, according to a post shared on the brand's Instagram account.

The gown was a custom design in Davis' signature fiery red, and was embellished with beading in the same shade. Beyoncé accessorized the look with a pair of silver cuffs on each wrist.

During a show in Warsaw, Poland, Beyoncé wore a heavily embellished Elie Saab Haute Couture minidress with fringe details.

Beyoncé has long been a fan of Elie Saab Haute Couture for her red-carpet looks.

For her show in Warsaw, she wore an embellished, figure-hugging minidress featuring a high neckline with crystal fringing that dropped to the floor. The dress had a sheer, mesh background, to highlight the intricacy of embroidery in gold and silver tones.

She wore a stunning, metallic-green bodysuit and cape designed by Del Core in the same show.

In Warsaw, Beyoncé closed her show in an iconic custom Del Core look. The singer wore a sequin-covered, green bodysuit with a plunging neckline and peephole design, highlighted with intricate silver beading.

She paired the look with green, sparkly boots and a crystal-embellished harness that blended in with her cape to perform the final song of the night, "Summer Renaissance."

In July, the singer wore a Tiffany & Co. minidress for a performance in Toronto.

Tiffany & Co. doesn't sell clothes to us mere mortals, but Beyoncé likely isn't subject to the same rules as a brand ambassador and fashion icon.

For a show in Toronto, she wore a metallic, mesh minidress with embellishments draped across the front inspired by Elsa Peretti's "Diamonds by the Yard" jewelry line for the brand, according to an Instagram post shared by Tiffany & Co.

Beyoncé made a statement in a structural Schiaparelli outfit for a show in Chicago.

Schiaparelli is a celebrity favorite, but rather than an off-the-rack piece from the design house, Beyoncé opted for a custom design.

For her Chicago show, the artist wore a black Schiaparelli Haute Couture minidress designed by creative director Daniel Roseberry, according to a post shared by Schiaparelli's Instagram account. The garment featured a ruched bustier and a voluminous stole that was covered in hand-embroidered, silver-gray feathers and extended into a train.

For a July show in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Beyoncé paired a silver bodysuit that featured cone-shaped cups with a pink, faux-fur coat from Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini.

For the New Jersey leg of the Renaissance World Tour, Beyoncé donned a one-of-a-kind, custom design by Philosophy di Lorenzo Serafini: a silver, crystal-embellished bodysuit with Madonna-esque, cone-shaped cups.

She added a pink, eco-kidassia coat that she wore perched on her shoulders over the long-sleeved bodysuit, plus a pair of silver, thigh-high boots, and statement sunglasses.

For her show in Atlanta, Georgia, the singer wore a couture runway gown by Indian designer Gaurav Gupta, inspired by a traditional South Asian sari.

Beyoncé wore a number of Gaurav Gupta looks for the US leg of her Renaissance World Tour . The designer's Neon Green Athena Saree Gown that the star wore at her Atlanta was shown at the Gupta's Paris Couture Week runway show in July.

The floor-length dress featured a high slit, and is inspired by the South Asian sari. The intricate, draped texture lends itself to the flowy fabric of the garment, which featured small cutout details on the front and side, and a hood. "It was so heartwarming to see her wear the saree gown, especially for her opening look," Gupta previously told Insider.

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

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

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.

Beyoncé Embraces Bold Balmain Shoulders in Fringe Jacket for ‘Cowboy Carter' Tour Bus Video in Japan

Beyoncé put a biker spin on the cowboy core trend in two posts shared to Instagram on Monday. The "Texas Hold ‘Em" singer shared a selection of photos and a short video clip posing with Japanese trucks. Beyoncé has been traveling in the country with her husband, Jay-Z , since last week.

Beyoncé's full leather look included a belted Balmain blazer featuring bold shoulders and fringe, as well as baggy wide-leg trousers by Stella McCartney. She accessorized with patent leather boots, completing her look with oversize sunnies, gold hoops and patent leather boots.

Stylist Shiona Turini dressed Beyoncé for the occasion. Turini, who also works as a costume designer, curated the singer's wardrobe for her "Renaissance" tour in 2023.

Hairdresser Neal Farinah styled Beyoncé's platinum blond tresses straightened, while makeup artist Rokael Lizama gave the singer black eyeliner and a pink-nude lip.

Beyoncé's Country Style Through The Years

Last week, Beyoncé blended Western dressing with sleek suiting while in Japan. The superstar songstress shared a new post to Instagram, wearing a khaki Ferragamo suit and trenchcoat from the label's spring 2023 line. Beyoncé added on square-toe boots, a turquoise bolo tie and wool cowboy hat, completing her look with silver statement earrings by Eight Other Reasons and a brown patent leather clutch, which was custom-made by Ferragamo.

Beyoncé's latest album, "Cowboy Carter," marks her first full-length foray into country music.

"This album has been over five years in the making," Beyoncé wrote on Instagram last month. "It was born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed…and it was very clear that I wasn't. But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and studied our rich musical archive."

Beyoncé has always incorporated Western wear into her wardrobe, most notably with the release of her 2022 album, "Renaissance." In promotional images for her recent world tour, the pop star sported a mirrored cowboy hat akin to a disco ball. Meanwhile, at the 2024 Grammys, Beyoncé accessorized her Louis Vuitton skirt suit with a Stetson chapeau.
