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.

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.

Inside Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' world tour wardrobe – all her custom-made looks

As the tour wraps after 57 shows, we chart her unmissable tour wardrobe

And it's over. After 57 shows around the world, Beyoncé's much-celebrated Renaissance tour finally wrapped at the Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, on 1 October. And, of course, throughout the course of its run, the impressive three-hour set featured an ever-rotating wardrobe of high-octane, custom-made looks.

The tour started in Stockholm on 10 May, before heading through Europe and then across Canada and the United States. The disco-themed show embodied everything from female empowerment to Black pride and, to match the high-energy album, Beyoncé performed in a series of glittering catsuits and striking metallic corsets by a string of luxury brands and designers like Alexander McQueen, Loewe, Gucci, Fendi and David Koma.

"For us, the designers, it is not just an amazing exposure but a wonderful cultural moment to be a part of," Koma told us, adding that Beyoncé herself is "exceptionally involved in all the details". The designer has worked with the singer – who he refers to as "a true artist and superwoman" – and her team on multiple occasions, so he said collaborating again felt "natural".

"A global tour like this is an incredible, culture-defining event," he said. "Having seen some of the videos from this tour – you just know it’s a once-in-a-lifetime magical performance that every attendee will remember forever... Considering the creativity that goes into putting on a show like that, it makes sense to work with designers for special couture and custom looks."

Fellow designer Iris van Herpen also expressed that creating for Beyoncé was a "huge honour". After crafting a beautiful silver gown (which took 12 people and 700 hours to make), the designer said: "In her epic Renaissance tour, Beyoncé embodies feminine empowerment. She symbolises that confidence radiates from within and that beauty thrives in diversity. Her style is a kaleidoscope of elegance that inspired me and my team in every stitch, every bead and every petal."

There's good news for those who weren't able to catch the tour in person, or who want to relive the magic from the night; Beyoncé has confirmed that a concert film is coming soon, featuring her personal highlights from the show, unseen backstage footage and an insight into the rehearsal process.

In the meantime, look back at Beyoncé's unmissable custom Renaissance tour wardrobe, here.

On the final night of her mammoth world tour, in Kansas City, Beyoncé took to the stage in a custom-made Balenciaga couture gown. The bustier dress featured more than 8,000 embroidered crystal rhinestones and was paired with black jersey opera gloves.

On the Houston leg of her tour, Beyoncé debuted this polka-dot Balmain dress, which was custom-designed for her by creative director Olivier Rousteing. She matched the pearl straps with a layered pearl collar necklace and added a pair of white opera gloves.

The patterned dress featured a thigh-high slit and oversized rose accent at the hip, and was designed as a preview of the brand's forthcoming spring/summer 2024 collection.

Agent Provocateur

In Dallas, the performer wore this tasselled Agent Provocateur outfit. The one-of-a-kind kind custom corseted suit consisted of a metal plated, boned body, covered with Swarovski crystals

Beyoncé went sporty in Telfar to perform in Seattle. She stepped out on stage in a red zip-up bodysuit, with matching arm warmers, chaps, a cap and sunglasses. Her back-up dancers also co-ordinated with her look, wearing Telfar ensembles with white over-the-knee boots.

Beyoncé added to her statement tour wardrobe in a custom denim look by Diesel, which she wore with Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses, to perform in Vancouver.

Beyoncé added to the drama of her Renaissance world tour in a beautiful purple Vera Wang gown with a matching hood and gloves. She finished off her ensemble with a pair of Saint Laurent pumps.

Beyoncé turned to her own label, Ivy Park, during the Vancouver leg of her tour. The singer wore a patterned bodysuit with a matching oversized hat, floating cape and over-the-knee black boots. She accessorised with Tiffany & Co sunglasses.

Beyoncé matched her shimmering Renaissance horse in a custom PatBO hand-beaded bodysuit with crystal fringe detailing, for her performance onstage in Vancouver. Shimmer and sequins have been a constant theme throughout her tour, to match her disco-themed album.

Beyoncé chose a custom Swarovski crystal Agent Provocateur catsuit to perform on her birthday in Inglewood, California. The singer also wore a sparkling veil and party hat to mark the special occasion.

Tamara Ralph

Beyoncé wore a beautifully designed Tamara Ralph couture gown, for her performance in Los Angeles. The star looked breathtaking in a pale pink off-the-shoulder gown, which featured Ralph's signature rosettes and ostrich feather sleeves. The gown took the house's artisans 450 hours to handcraft; it was originally shown exclusively this summer in Paris during Haute Couture Fashion Week.

On the same night, the global star relied on Tamara Ralph for another show-stopping outfit. In stark contrast to her previous delicate pink gown, Beyoncé wore a black velvet dress with gold crystal rose detail. She added to the drama of her ensemble with a matching cut-out hat and opera gloves. The look took more than 550 hours to make by Tamara Ralph's artisans.

Alexander McQueen

Beyoncé had fun with her tour wardrobe as she moved to San Fransisco – she turned to Alexander McQueen for a custom-made crystal and sequinned corset, complete with thigh-high black boots, black sunglasses and a mesh headpiece.

Beyoncé chose a show-stopping custom look from Mulger by Casey Cadwallader, to take her Renaissance world tour to Inglewood in California. The singer wore a chrome cage jacket, over a matching bodysuit with silver boots.

As the Renaissance tour rolled round to Los Angeles, the singer took to the stage in this fuchsia corseted Gucci dress in pleated pink satin, with built-in bodysuit, embroidered with crystal and pearl embellishment.

The singer added this colourful Pucci look to her tour wardrobe, designed by Camille Miceli, featuring the brand's famed 'Giardino' archival print. The outfit was finished with a matching cap and statement body chain.

For another of her Los Angeles shows, Beyoncé debuted this custom-made Loewe bodysuit in technical printed satin jersey with all-over appliqué crystals.

The bodysuit featured a 3D-printed balloon bra in red chrome finish.

Marc Jacobs

The singer looked to Marc Jacobs for one of her San Francisco outfit changes, wearing this black sequin corset dress with a red neck scarf and Swarovski crystal platform boots.

Marine Serre

Beyoncé and her dancers wore Marine Serre bodysuits for the performance in Las Vegas. The silver suit featured the brand's recognisable moon print, and had a dramatic red overlay.

8 Beyoncé "Renaissance" Tour Outfit Ideas Inspired by Every Iconic Album

Design by Kaitlyn Collins

July 2023 marks one year since Beyoncé dropped Renaissance , her seventh studio album and one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year. So how is Queen Bey marking the anniversary? By embarking on the North American leg of her Renaissance Tour, which kicked off in Europe in June and crosses the Atlantic for a Toronto debut on July 8.

If you were among the Beyhive soldiers willing to battle Ticketmaster for a spot at a North American stop—and won—congratulations! Now you just need to figure out what you’re going to wear. While the Renaissance promotional images and couture collaboration with Balmain are an excellent starting point for inspiration (especially if you have an affinity for silver, platinum, and gemstones), reports from the European leg of the tour reveal that (spoiler alert) Mrs. Carter’s set list includes selections from her entire robust catalog. Call it her own Eras tour , if you will.

So why not pull inspo from Beyoncé's entire 20-plus-year career? From Dangerously in Love to Renaissance , keep scrolling for tour outfits perfect for dancing the night away.

Dangerously in Love

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Dangerously in Love , and it’s hard to decide which is more timeless: The white tank and denim hot pants she donned in the "Crazy in Love" video or the diamante top on the album’s cover. With an on-trend bralette-over-tank top moment, you don’t even have to choose.

Shop The Look

American Eagle

Good American

Of the many things Beyoncé has held on to over her career, her Southern roots are among the firmest. And with frilly accents and pageant-queen hair, this heritage is played up beautifully in the “Deja Vu” video. For a comfortable, concert-approved take on the look, opt for a breezy chemise and glitzy denim.

Free People

I Am... Sasha Fierce

Is “Single Ladies” going to be the official anthem of girls’ nights around the world until the end of time? Yes. But this is my list, and in this house, our Sasha Fierce allegiance lies with the futuristic “Sweet Dreams” video. (Featuring an absolutely iconic Mugler fembot moment.) Give the futuristic aesthetic a Renaissance -worthy spin with silver metallics instead of gold.

Amanda Uprichard

There are two defining garments of Beyoncé's 4 era: Feathery, fuzzy, little jackets and structured, undergarment-esque bodysuits. If you’re feeling particularly bold, wear them together for a coquette-ish look. (And add in a corset-inspired purse for good measure.)

Fleu du Mal

Slinky, stretchy, smoky-eyed, and sexy, I have to admit: This is my favorite moment in Beyoncé's sartorial history. This look is probably at its apex in the “Drunk in Love” video. While you probably don’t want to show up to a stadium in little more than a bikini, a mesh bodysuit and mesh-accented leggings will capture the essence of the style.

Lemonade might go down in history for its beauty influence, but the fashion is just as stunning. Beyoncé and longtime stylist Marni Senofonte went for a “Victorian, antebellum, reformation vibe,” and drew plenty of inspo from Black New Orleans history. Get the look with dramatic sleeves and feminine ruffle details.

Nichole Lynel

Renaissance (Disco Version)

Hear me out: Depending on how adventurous the fashion is in your chosen Renaissance Tour destination, everyone will be in club kid attire. So why not draw from Bey’s other big inspiration, disco? Stretchy, shiny leggings that are practically made for dancing and a lame top from a designer who is herself a Disco-era icon will stand out in the crowd.

Norma Kamali

Reformation

Renaissance (Club Version)

Okay, I know I just said everyone will be dressed like a club kid at many a Renaissance Tour stop. And they will be! But that’s for good reason: Cargo pants + sneakers + a going-out top is a tried-and-true formula for looking great and while still being able to bust a move.

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.

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

Beyoncé's most daring outfits from the Renaissance World Tour

• "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" premieres worldwide on Friday. 
• Fans praised Beyoncé's concert looks during the Renaissance World Tour.
• Here are 19 of Beyoncé's most daring ensembles from the tour. 

Beyoncé's fans will get to relive their favorite moments from the singer's latest tour when "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" premieres in theatres worldwide on Friday .

The film follows Beyoncé and her team traveling the globe during her world tour from May 10 to October 1, offering footage of the electrifying stage performances and intimate behind-the-scenes moments.

Although Beyoncé's vocals stole the show during each tour stop, fans were also mystified by her high fashion . Vogue reported that Beyoncé's tour stylists included Shiona Turini, Julia Sarr-Jamois, Karen Langley, and KJ Moody. Beyoncé wore more than 140 outfits throughout the tour, according to Vibe .

Here are 19 of Queen Bey's most daring ensembles during the record-breaking tour.

During her Stockholm stop in May, Beyoncè premiered a shimmering catsuit by Loewe, which set the internet ablaze.

The Renaissance World Tour kicked off in May, where Beyoncé performed her song "Virgo's Groove" onstage in a shimmering sleeveless catsuit adorned with hand silhouette designs and elbow-length black gloves.

According to Loewe's website , creative director Jonathan Anderson created a series of stage looks that played on "sculptural forms, trompe l ́oeil and body illusion."

Per the Beyoncé fan account @beyzhive , the ensemble was inspired by " The Birth of Venus ," a 15th-century work of art by Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, Complex reported . The outfit appeared each night, and the singer also wore a silver and red iteration of the famous catsuit during the tour .

Beyoncé channeled her inner "Queen Bey" while performing "America Has a Problem" in London this May.

One of Beyoncé's most iconic looks was the Mugler custom-made bumble bee-inspired fit she wore during her five-night tour stop in London. Like the Venus-inspired catsuit, the Mugler ensemble became a fan favorite, and Beyoncé wore the outfit on multiple stops throughout the tour.

The structural black-and-yellow bodysuit featured black thigh-high boots and a headpiece meant to mimic a bee's antennas.

Beyoncé also wore an "Alien Superstar" bodysuit during her London performance.

Beyoncé is known for wearing leotards, but her silver bodysuit in London elevated her tour style. The singer's outfit was designed by the French fashion house Courrèges.

Onstage, metal pieces designed to look like robot limbs revealed Beyoncé's outfit, featuring strategic cutouts along the abdomen and left shoulder. The outfit was topped with a halo headpiece that looked ethereal. TikToker @ semmievm shared the moment in a video this May.

"Thank you Mrs. B for this incredible moment!!!" she wrote on Instagram.

The sleeveless dress prominently featured gold, silver, and black. Beyoncé paired the outfit with thigh-high black boots and black opera gloves. Her sunglasses had antennas, which may have been a nod to her nickname, Queen Bey.

That same month, Beyoncé wore a partially see-through silver gown in Paris.

Queen Bey wore a bold pink floor-length Ivy Park gown with double slits during her Amsterdam performance.

Beyoncé revealed on Instagram that the shimmering pink gown, featuring a halter neckline and matching opera gloves, was one of her designs.

On June 27, Beyoncé performed while wearing an eye-catching fit designed by Richard Quinn.

The long-sleeved top, with a peplum waistline, was paired with matching pants and an oversize hat as the piece pièce de résistance. The entire ensemble was adorned with large jewels.

Beyonce wore a minidress designed by Tiffany & Co. during a July tour stop in Toronto.

During her two-night stint in Toronto, Beyoncé wore a custom-made Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti mesh dress.

An Instagram post on the company's official account said the dress drew inspiration from Elsa Peretti's "Diamonds by the Yard" jewelry line for Tiffany & Co., which was combined with mesh.

Beyoncé wore a detailed graphic aesthetic in Chicago that month.

In July, Beyoncé performed for fans for two nights in Chicago wearing a silver catsuit by Marine Serre with circuit wire-themed designs across the fabric. It also featured gear-like adornments across the front and a slick, wide-brimmed hat.

On the company's official Instagram account , a post shared that the "Cuff It" singer was "among the earliest supporters of the brand, making this collaboration for the extraordinary Renaissance Tour all the more special, symbolizing empowerment for women across the globe, as beautiful expressed by MARINE SERRE herself."

The Best Outfits At Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour

The best outfits at beyoncé’s renaissance tour are a “disco cowgirl” dream, more from fashion, r29 original series.

Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour Looks Are a Custom Dreamland — See Photos

By Donya Momenian and Sara Delgado

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

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

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

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

‘I Knew I Had to Come Correct’: Beyoncé Fans Are Going All In on DIY Renaissance Tour Looks 

By André-Naquian Wheeler

Throughout her Renaissance world tour, which kicked off last month, Beyoncé has worn a staggering, ever-changing array of custom outfits by the upper echelon of fashion brands: Loewe, Mugler, Valentino, Vivienne Westwood, David Koma, Alexander McQueen, and on and on. It’s abundantly clear that Beyoncé is in her fashion era right now. Turns out, her fans are too.

Nerrisa Pratt, who lives in Farnborough in the UK and attended one of the tour’s five London dates, busted out her sewing machine shortly after watching clips of the tour’s first show on social media. She decided to re-create the sparkly flesh-toned Loewe bodysuit, designed by Jonathan Anderson, that Bey wears during the show. Pratt, who says she started making her own clothing due to a lack of options for her six-foot-one frame, made creative use of “glittery dance spandex and a cosplay Harley Quinn pattern from Simplicity” for the re-creation. Next, she used Photoshop to trace the bodysuit’s trompe l’oeil hands, which playfully decorate Beyoncé’s figure, and then cut out copies on vinyl.

“I’m a huge Beyoncé fan, and each time she enters a new era, it always really resonates with me. It’s just too easy to get caught up in her,” Pratt says. The entire process took her five days to complete. Pratt credits her creative bout to TikTok. Other fans showed off their impressively intricate DIY designs, which included sequined cowboy hats, fringe Western jackets, and beaded hand fans. Seeing them, Pratt started to feel pressure to deliver a strong look.

“I knew I had to come correct,” the 32-year-old said. And she did. A TikTok spotlighting the final ensemble has received more than 700,000 views .

Pratt is not the only member of the BeyHive fan club turning into a DIY designer of sorts. Across social media, fans are tapping into Renaissance ’s one-of-one ballroom-inflected aesthetics with homemade looks (or perhaps lewks is the better word here). But their creativity extends past the concert they attend. They’re also dishing out custom commissions for others.

Have an extra $300 lying around (even after securing Renaissance seats)? For that price, artist and Beyoncé fan Anthony Lee Pittman will paint a hyperrealistic image of the singer onto a leather jacket for you. Or for free, you can follow a DIY tutorial on how to sand down the edges on a piece of made-at-home body armor . Or for $320, designer Kayla Monroe will craft a “comfortable and lightweight” breastplate inspired by the “I’m That Girl” teaser for you.

TikTok content

This content can also be viewed on the site it originates from.

There are plenty of customers out there. “I’ve had 14 people purchase the breastplate specifically for the Renaissance tour,” Monroe said.

More than an eye-catching statement, the clothes are the perfect vehicle for connecting with fellow fans. When Pittman, who lives in Compton, California, flew out to Beyoncé’s Paris show, he wore one of his jackets. He received a wave of spirited reactions.

“I’m really shy and introverted, so it was definitely outside my comfort zone,” Pittman told Vogue . “But just being able to be out there with the Hive—everyone appreciated it and was hyping me up. It made me feel a lot more comfortable to show the jacket off and the look and everything.”

One potentially risky part of choosing a re-creation of a specific Renaissance tour outfit: Beyoncé could replace it with another one by the time your tour stop comes around. The singer has whizzed through pieces as the tour has progressed, even bringing 41 custom pairs of Jimmy Choos along with her.

Some fans, however, see the steady changes as a healthy challenge. “It really keeps everything feeling fresh and exciting to me,” Pratt said. “I’m genuinely considering buying another ticket so I can do it all over again.”

Here Are All The Custom Outfits Beyoncé Wore For The ‘Renaissance World Tour’ Opener

Beyoncé opened her Renaissance World Tour at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden on Wednesday, May 10, and suddenly, the Beyhive had plenty of reasons to forget their collective displeasure over Beyoncé holding back the Renaissance visuals since the album’s July 2022 release.

The Renaissance World Tour featured Beyoncé in all her glory, and one person on Twitter did the Lord’s work by documenting every single outfit Queen Bey wore on stage throughout her all-encompassing set .

Vogue relayed that Beyoncé’s custom looks were designed by Anrealage, Jonathan Anderson, Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, David Koma, and more.

“Overall, the tour feels like a fabulous embodiment of the techno and ballroom-infused sound of Renaissance , which Beyoncé has described as an ode to dance music and queer culture,” Vogue ‘s André-Naquian Wheeler wrote. “They also continue the singer’s streak of ostentatiously avant-garde couture fashion for the album’s innovative visual campaigns . A teaser for ‘I’m That Girl,’ which runs a little under two minutes, featured a chaotic flurry of over a dozen custom looks by Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, and others. Beyoncé is well and truly in her fashion girl era.”

Members of the Beyhive who weren’t present for opening night in Sweden have another chance at Friends Arena tonight, May 11, before the Renaissance World Tour moves to Brussels, Belgium on May 14. See all of the dates here .

Beyoncé kicked off the first of 57 shows on May 10th in Stockholm, and she’s about to spend the next four months touring around Europe, Canada, and the United States. While you excitedly count the days and meticulously plan out your concert outfit, take fashion cues from ~your host~ (in this case: Beyoncé) who has already given us some 11/10 performance looks to get inspired by. Based on her opening show, Bey is leaning into the sparkly, futuristic, space cowboy vibes of Renaissance. We’re seeing tons of silver and black, sparkly corsets, sheer catsuits, and thigh-high boots on Beyoncé and her backup dancers — so don’t be afraid to put your own twist on opulence whether that’s through intense glitter, robotic metallics, or body jewelry. From sparkly cowboy hats to chrome stomping boots , here’s your complete guide to what to wear to Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour based off of Beyoncé's exact tour outfits.

Holographic Mini

Everyone say, "Thank you, David Koma, for creating this masterpiece." 🗣 According to WWD , the designer was inspired by marine biologist Sylvia Earle’s documentary “Mission Blue" when he created this look. Serve your best psychedelic fashion alien look with iridescent, reflective metallics and big statement earrings.

What Is Beyoncé’s Net Worth? Well, It’s Incredibly High (As Expected)

If You're Into the Album Cover...

OK, it’s unlikely that anyone is going to travel to the concert on a bedazzled horse. However, we can still take a page out of Bey’s book for the rest of her album cover look—starting with some sparkling pieces. From rhinestone-embellished denim shorts to knee-high boots, it’s time to shine. And let’s not forget the accessory of the hour that’s essential to completing this look: a disco cowboy hat. 

Shop Our Picks

ASOS Design Satin Corset Top

If You Want to Feel Cozy...

If you need a body positive anthem, look no further than “Cozy.” As she sings, “Comfortable in my skin, cozy with who I am…” wear something that makes you feel confident and celebrates your figure—like a velvet jumpsuit that accentuates your curves or a midi dress that shows off your legs. Or you can fully commit to the ‘cozy’ theme and get yourself a silk set that’ll look super chic for the concert, but still allow you to easily move your hips.

X REVOLVE Martina Jumpsuit

Carrington Two Piece

If You Want to Go Futuristic...

We’re aware that “Alien Superstar” is out of this world, so your attire should get on its level. Go bold and futuristic with a neon green top, silver pants and sterling silver jewelry. Or rock a fitted catsuit that might get you noticed in the nosebleeds. Add some stunner shades and alien-inspired earrings to finish off the unique look.

Norma Kamali Diana Set

If You're Going to Be Dancing All Night Long...

From “Energy” to “Move,” Bey has way too many bops to stay in your seat. Search for an outfit that’ll allow you to dance to your heart’s content. Some comfy staples we swear by: cargo pants, a crewneck sweater and sneakers that will keep your feet happy all night long. 

& Other Stories Pearl Fringed Cropped Sweater

Vitabuna Cargo Jeans

If You’re Going to the After Party…

If “Plastic Sofa” or “Thique” is your go-to song, rock an on-theme sexy number for the night. Now is the time to go all out in leather—from a corset top to thigh-high boots. Plus, it’s a great option for anyone who plans to keep the party going with the gals after the show.

ASYOU Corset

ASYOU Scarf Top

If You Want to Transport to the ‘70s…

There’s no denying Bey made an album inspired by the disco era and ball culture, which calls for the grooviest things in your closet. We’re talking flared pants, whimsical prints and lots of fringe, baby. When “Virgo Groove” and “Summer Renaissance” come on, we going to wish we could’ve worn some roller skates, too. 

LYANER V-Neck Top

Avec Les Filles Flared Trousers

If You Want to Be the Main Character…

When you have hits like “Heated” and “Pure/Honey” playing live, your outfit should get tens across the board. We don’t want to say the concert is a runway, but it might as well be, so channel your inner Queen Bey in a sultry maxi dress, a dazzling pantsuit or a fiery set.

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.

It's Queen Bey: Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' Tour Movie Hits Theaters With 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score

Posted: March 27, 2024 | Last updated: March 27, 2024

In her concert film, Beyoncé described her recent Renaissance World Tour as being run like a machine, where she played a hands-on role in every production aspect, from lighting to set design. This superstar singer’s dedication to excellence drove her to work tirelessly for nearly 50 consecutive days, all in pursuit of crafting an extraordinary concert experience. These insights are vividly captured in her film, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé,” a project for which she assumed the roles of writer, director, and producer.

Unlike her past decade of privacy and rare interviews, this film offers a unique peek into Beyoncé’s world. She released the nearly three-hour “Renaissance” movie through AMC Theaters, following a similar approach to Taylor Swift’s recent concert film success. However, Beyoncé diverged by delving deeper into her personal life, providing viewers with a more intimate understanding of her journey.

“I’m really excited for everyone to see the process,” she expressed in the film.

Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Tour Movie Hits Theaters

Beyoncé opens up about the challenges she faced in striving to achieve her ambitious tour goals and her feelings of not being heard, partly due to her identity as a Black woman. Despite the obstacles, the tour ultimately grossed around $500 million, according to Billboard. She candidly discusses her knee surgery, which necessitated rehabilitation just a month before her first show in Stockholm.

Yet, Beyoncé emphasizes that she’s “not a machine.” Despite her physical and emotional challenges, she not only showed up but performed at an exceptionally high level, a standard she expected of herself and those who shared her commitment to making each show a success.

The film also highlights some notable guest appearances during Beyoncé’s performances, including Megan Thee Stallion in Houston, Kendrick Lamar in Los Angeles, and Diana Ross, who serenaded Beyoncé for her 42nd birthday. However, the standout moment came from Beyoncé’s 11-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy, who became a background dancer despite initial reservations from her mother.

“She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” Beyoncé revealed in the film. Over time, Beyoncé relented, allowing Blue Ivy to showcase her talent. Although Blue Ivy faced initial criticism on social media, she used it as motivation to improve, gaining confidence with each stage appearance.

Blue Ivy’s growth brought joy not only to Beyoncé but also to Mathew Knowles, her proud grandfather, who affectionately exclaimed, “Now, that’s a Knowles!”

The film also captures a poignant moment when Beyoncé and her mother, Tina Knowles, revisit her childhood home during a stop in Houston. Additionally, it marks a reunion of all the members of Destiny’s Child, a girl group that once included Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LeToya Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson, who was previously ousted from the group. This reunion signifies healing and a fresh start for them.

Beyoncé and her mother also share heartfelt memories of Beyoncé’s late uncle Johnny, a Black gay man who introduced her to house music and crafted her prom dress. The “Renaissance” album is dedicated to his memory.

The film takes a moment to acknowledge Beyoncé’s devoted BeyHive fanbase, showcasing their presence in various cities. During her performances, Beyoncé expresses her gratitude to her fans, referring to them as “beautiful faces.”

Why Beyoncé's  Cowboy Carter  Should Finally Win Her Album of the Year at the 2025 Grammys

The album, acclaimed by both fans and critics, will likely compete against Taylor Swift's new LP at the music awards show next year

Beyoncé deserves to finally lasso herself an album of the year win.

Late last month, the music superstar, 42, released her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter , which serves as the second installment in a planned trilogy of albums following 2022’s Renaissance .

The LP, like many of Beyoncé’s works, blends a diverse mix of musical genres, and it is conceptualized as a radio broadcast by the fictional KNTRY Radio Texas, with country superstars Dolly Parton ,  Willie Nelson  and Linda Martell acting as disc jockeys.

The 27-track album features collaborations with big names including Miley Cyrus and Post Malone — plus Beyoncé's 6½-year-old daughter Rumi — as well as those from lesser-known Black country artists such as  Tanner Adell ,  Brittney Spencer ,  Tiera Kennedy ,  Reyna Roberts ,  Shaboozey and  Willie Jones .  Stevie Wonder ,  Paul McCartney ,  Nile Rodgers ,  Jon Batiste ,  Gary Clark Jr. and  Rhiannon Giddens , meanwhile, perform instruments on various tracks.

Looking at the album now, and looking ahead to the 2025 Grammy Awards , Nicholas Rice, a Senior News Editor for PEOPLE, highlights why Beyoncé deserves to take home the coveted album of the year honor for Cowboy Carter.

Beyoncé has been nominated for album of the year four times over the past two decades — in 2010 for   I Am … Sasha Fierce ,  in 2015 for  Beyoncé , in 2017 for Lemonade  and in 2023 for  Renaissance . (The nominees for the 2025 Grammys will be announced sometime later this year, following the eligibility period, which runs from Sept. 16, 2023, through Aug. 30, 2024, per Billboard .)

Beyoncé's latest project has received universal acclaim from both fans and critics, who praised the star's expansion into the country genre.

On Metacritic , a website that collects reviews of media through reviews from sources such as magazines and websites, Cowboy Carter scored an impressive score of 92/100 based on 20 critic reviews.

Rolling Stone , for example, praised the LP as having "Beyoncé’s best vocal work on record," adding that the album was "produced flawlessly." Variety , meanwhile, called Cowboy Carter a "masterpiece of sophisticated vocal arranging," also describing it as "a 27-course meal" that is "difficult to describe in whole, but endlessly easy to digest, serving by serving."

The Bey Hive — as Beyoncé's loyal legion of fans are collectively known — also have had high praise for the superstar and her latest musical project.

"The vocals on cowboy carter are INSANE. do not ever play with my sister!!!!" wrote one user on X (formerly Twitter).

"COWBOY CARTER IS SO GOOD I’M LITERALLY SCREAMING CRYING THROWING BEYONCÉ IS WINNING AOTY NEXT YEAR I’M CALLING IT," said one other, as another fan added , "Cowboy Carter is really Beyoncé’s best album."

"Cowboy Carter is such. an. insane. flex. If this doesn’t finally get Beyoncé AOTY..." one more fan wrote .

While many praised Cowboy Carter for its impressive vocals, creative concept and clear flow, Beyoncé was also celebrated for stepping into what is seen by many as a heavily white genre as a Black woman.

In the LP's first track, " American Requiem ," the mother of three reminds listeners of her country roots growing up in Texas, singing, "Used to say I spoke too country / And the rejection came, said I wasn’t country ’nough / Said I wouldn’t saddle up, but / If that ain’t country, tell me what is?"

Martell, 82, who begins “ Spaghettii, " touches upon the idea that artists can only be limited to certain subjects, stating ahead of the tune, "Genres are a funny little concept, aren’t they? / In theory, they have a simple definition that’s easy to understand / But in practice, well, some may feel confined."

Beyoncé not only highlighted her ability to be a musical chameleon with this project, but also used her space to uplift other Black artists, allowing them to showcase their own vocal abilities and stories while illustrating how music truly sees no color.

But the music icon still knew that not everyone in the entertainment scene — or larger world, for that matter — would be as accepting or welcoming of her trying to stray from the boxes that she has been put into throughout her career.

In a past Instagram post, Beyoncé thanked fans for their early support of Cowboy Carter and detailed how it came to be . According to the star, the project was five years in the making and was "born out of an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed." (Many fans speculated the event Beyoncé was referring to was the 2016 CMA Awards , where she performed her country tune "Daddy Lessons" off her album Lemonade alongside The Chicks .)

"And it was very clear that I wasn’t," Beyoncé continued. "But, because of that experience, I did a deeper dive into the history of country music and studied our rich musical archive. It feels good to see how music can unite so many people around the world, while also amplifying the voices of some of the people who have dedicated so much of their lives educating on our musical history."

She added, "The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me. act ii is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work."

And with that, Beyoncé knew she had a story to tell, and Cowboy Carter was released on March 29.

It eventually broke several chart records and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart , which marked Beyoncé's eighth consecutive No. 1 album. (It was also the first album by a Black woman to top Billboard 's Top Country Albums chart.)

Spotify later announced on social media that Cowboy Carter became the platform's most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 so far.

The LP also earned the title of most streams of a country album by a female artist on Amazon Music, and it also had the biggest debut on the streaming platform, the company revealed on social media .

Beyoncé initially surprised fans by  announcing her new album during the 2024 Super Bowl  in early February.

At the time, the singer appeared in a Verizon commercial, in which she joked about her internet-breaking abilities. She then posted the trailer  for her new album on Instagram, sending fans into a frenzy.

After the viral announcement, Beyoncé dropped two singles from the album, “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages."

"Texas Hold 'Em" eventually hit No. 1 on Billboard 's Hot Country Songs chart , which allowed Beyoncé to make history as the first Black female artist to ever reach the top spot there.

Despite the success of the two singles, Beyoncé fans were still left mostly in the dark about Cowboy Carter , which, at the time, was referred to simply as Act II , given that the singer had yet to reveal the LP's name.

But, weeks before the album was set to drop, Beyoncé revealed the title by simply adding it and the release date to her Instagram bio and posting a shot of a saddle with a red, white and blue sash that read “Cowboy Carter” on her  Instagram Stories .

Not long after, Beyoncé then revealed the album's official artwork — a photo of herself wearing a red, white and blue outfit on a horse and holding up an American flag.

The album cover is reminiscent to that of the one she chose for Renaissance , which features her sitting on top of a luminous horse.

Earlier this year at the 2024 Grammy Awards, JAY-Z was honored with the 2nd annual  Dr. Dre  Global Impact Award — in recognition of his musical legacy — and used his acceptance speech to call out the organization that honored him in defense of his wife .

Questioning the process behind the voted categories, the rapper, 54, said, "We want y'all to get it right. At least getting close to right. And obviously it's subjective ... because, you know, it's music, and it's opinion-based."

Then, seemingly referring to Beyoncé, he continued, "I don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn't work. Think about that. The most Grammys, never won album of the year. That doesn't work."

While there is still plenty of time ahead of the 2025 Grammys, and before Beyoncé will potentially even lock in a nomination for the album of the year category, it's clear that the universal acclaim, Beyoncé's dedication to her craft and her fearlessness to step into any musical territory prove her worthy of finally clinching the long overdue honor.

And yet, even if she doesn't, Beyoncé will continue to shine, as she points out on one of the tracks on Cowboy Carter , singing: “A-O-T-Y, I ain’t win (That’s cool) / I ain’t stuntin’ ’bout them / Take that s--- on the chin / Come back and f--- up the pen."
