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.

If only everyday was Bey Day.

The Hive swarmed Lincoln Financial Field on Wednesday evening, with decked out fans from the city, the suburbs, and as far away as North Carolina filling the South Philly arena. 

On Beyoncé’s first U.S. stop on her Renaissance Tour, ticketholders did not come to play when it came to fashion. Rhinestone cowboy hats, bedazzled stilettos, and bold makeup were just some of the trends that dominated. 

Fans were touchingly supportive of one another. Well-deserved compliments were encouragingly and lovingly tossed back and forth across the parking lots as people made their way into the Linc for the main event.

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.

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.

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.

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 .

This is not a drill. Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour has entered the North America chat. It is time to get those outfits ready.

Beyoncé’s ninth concert tour continues in North America. Starting with Toronto, Nashville and Philadelphia, the ultimate Bey showcase will hit an additional 21 cities from now through October.

Beyoncé’s European leg was the highest-grossing to date. Last month, Billboard reported the dates netted over $150 million, with 1 million tickets sold across 21 shows.

As “haute” as the tour itself were the jaw-dropping, show-stopping looks worn by attendees. Bad b*tches and “alien superstars” flooded social media over the past months, rocking their best for Queen Beyoncé and her daughter, Blue Ivy .

Renaissance World Tour outfits included silver sequins, metallic fabrics, and sheer shirts, dresses, and pants. Makeup was fierce, futuristic, and fun, with bright colors, silver glitter, and smoky eye details. And the accessories topped off every look, including larger-than-life fans, chrome aviators, cowboy hats, and rhinestone headpieces.

As the BeyHive prepares for additional shows, we’ve rounded up some of the best ensembles from showgoers on Instagram. Check them out for inspiration as you plan your outfit for the iconic Renaissance World Tour.

How Philly’s BeyHive is preparing for the ‘Renaissance Tour,’ from homemade signs to cowboy hats

When Beyoncé takes the stage at the Linc on Wednesday, fans will have already spent weeks preparing their outfits, learning lyrics, and practicing tour choreography.

The countdown to Beyoncé's “Renaissance World Tour” stop in Philly has been running for weeks — at least for the city’s dedicated BeyHive members.

When superfans learned the two-and-a-half-hour-long concert — which combines a slew of Beyoncé’s greatest hits with ballroom culture and robots — was stopping Wednesday at Lincoln Financial Field, the pressure was on.

“I’m doing everything I can to get Beyoncé to notice me,” said Korie Brown, 30, a photographer from University City who has been a fan of the performer since her 2003 BET Awards performance of “Crazy in Love.”

Brown, who is seeing the “Renaissance Tour” show in Philly, Chicago, and New Orleans, somehow considers a Philly concert a homecoming for Beyoncé (pun intended). That’s partly due to the influence Philly has had on the tour, down to its aesthetic , and the depth of the relationships fans have with the singer.

» READ MORE: ‘The Voice of Philadelphia’ emcees Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ tour. Kevin JZ Prodigy told us what it was like to work with the Queen.

Yasmine Hamou, 26 of Roxborough, recounts her connections to Beyoncé with sensory details: She grew up listening to B’Day in the car on the way home from school with her grandfather; at Temple University, she remembers “cozying up with all the other Black girls on her floor” for a Lemonade watch party.

“I feel like the chosen one,” Hamou said about scoring tickets to the tour, her first time seeing Beyoncé in concert.

Hamou and Brown are ride-or-die BeyHive, but what if you’re a casual Beyoncé listener or — unlike the peak Virgo herself — a procrastinator?

We talked with three Beyoncé stans from Philly about how they’re preparing for the “Renaissance Tour” stop, from camping hacks to pregame and postgame festivities.

» READ MORE: Everything you need to know about Beyoncé at the Linc

Dress code: Glitter, sequins, and Western wear

The implicit dress code for the concert is something that could be dubbed “cowgirl at the club,” which sits within the larger genre of the “Yeehaw Agenda,” or the reclamation of Black influence on Western wear.

In other words, think metallic cowboy boots, sequined cowboy hats , and hot-pink fringed jackets. It’s like if a rodeo took place at Woody’s.

“I just want to be extra,” said Jordan Manson, 22, a recent Temple grad who almost went as far as buying a silver Telfar bag on Klarna specifically for the concert. Manson has been poking around the Philaqueens Facebook group for last-minute outfit inspiration, but she’s planning on rocking lots of leather and bathing herself in body glitter to make her look pop.

Hamou, likewise, has been getting inspiration from fans on TikTok who attended the “Renaissance World Tour” in Europe .

“My look is grown and sexy, giving, ‘I pay my own bills,’” said Hamou, who is pairing a honey-colored wig with a bejeweled cowboy hat for her all-silver ensemble.

For superfans, the pregame has already started

Like for Swifties , the magic of the “Renaissance Tour” is in the preparation. Brown hasn’t listened to the album for the past month to try to re-create the magic of hearing it for the first time live, while Hamou and Manson have been inundating themselves with all things Bey.

Manson, for example, made it to a 6 a.m. spin class at Cycle Bar last month because it was Beyoncé-themed. She’s also been playing the album daily to drill the lyrics, so “she doesn’t look foolish in her Instagram videos.”

And despite going cold turkey on the album, Brown has found other ways to connect ahead of the show. He’s spent the past week making signs that play on inside jokes within the BeyHive, like Beyoncé's aversion to performing “Freakum Dress” and her Connect 4 prowess .

Brown also plans to arrive at the Linc at 7 a.m. Wednesday — well before the show’s 7 p.m. start time — to score a prime spot in Club Renaissance , the standing-room-only section closest to the stage.

“I’ve never camped before, so I had to watch videos on YouTube to prepare,” Brown said with a nervous giggle.

Last week, Brown had only gotten as far as packing a pair of throwaway clothes to wear in line before changing into his hot-pink “Renaissance Tour” outfit. As a seasoned Swiftie and Directioner, this reporter recommends staying hydrated, wearing sunscreen, and packing a comfy beach chair if you’re deciding to camp for Club Renaissance.

Waiting in the sun on asphalt not your thing? Xfinity Live! is hosting a BeyGate pregame , where you can take photos and sip on themed cocktails.

Newbie tips: Learn some lyrics, and get into the videos

A couple of ground rules for participating at the “Renaissance Tour” stop: Know the words to “Heated,” Blue Ivy’s dance moves , and mute when Beyoncé tells you to .

But if you’re newer to Beyoncé's music (or attending begrudgingly on behalf of a significant other or bestie), our superfans recommend doing some homework before the show.

“You don’t have to do, like, term paper research, but you should have a basic understanding of Beyoncé's different eras,” said Manson, who recommended watching some prior live performances.

Hamou suggests studying up on Beyoncé's music videos, too, since much of her commentary and politics rests in her visuals .

Either way, it’s about bowing down to Queen Bey.

“You have to honor old Beyoncé before getting to Renaissance ,” said Manson.

Beyoncé's L.A. Concert Brought Out the Brightest, Blingiest Silver Looks, Ever

The Renaissance World Tour brought high style to the City of Angels.

Emily Malan

The North American leg of Beyoncé 's Renaissance World Tour is coming to a close — and happens to coincide with Virgo season. That very specific detail came with a small request from Queen B: she wanted everyone coming to the show to show out in their best silver fashion. And because Los Angeles knows a thing or two about getting dressed to the nines (it's the home of awards season, after all), the Beyhive heeded the call and showed up looking like a veritable human disco ball, which is exactly what Knowles wanted.

"Virgo season is upon us. 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 wrote on her  Instagram Story just nine days before the Los Angeles dates at SoFi Stadium. The date referenced her upcoming Sept. 4 birthday and she finished with a sweet sentiment for fans, calling for a kind of unity that can only come with scream-singing "Love on Top" while wearing coordinating metallic 'fits. "We'll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night. Everybody mirroring each other's joy, Virgo season together in the House of Chrome. See you there!"

Naturally, the stars came out to celebrate Bey, too, with names like Keke Palmer and Hari Nef dancing along to the hits from the VIP suites (which offered the best view of the shimmering crowds and Beyoncé on stage). Ahead, see some of the best looks from the night and find out how some of the outfits came together after Bey's humble request.

Felischa Marye (she/her), @felischam

Live updates: ‘It’s the unity’: Charlotte shows up for Beyoncé, Renaissance World Tour

Who’s ready for BeyDay in Charlotte?

The Renaissance has finally arrived in the Queen City as Beyoncé is set to perform on Wednesday night at Bank of America Stadium . In preparation, Charlotte has responded with dances , food specials , spectacular outfits and a planned clear night of weather . Fans are over the world for the pop icon’s stop. Here’s how Charlotte reacted to the concert:

5:30 p.m.: Fans wait in merch lines ahead of gates opening

Beyoncé fans waited in multiple lines — some about 50 people deep — about 5:30 p.m. Friday to get their official Renaissance World Tour merchandise.

The merchandise truck, which sat just off the corner of South Mint and South Graham streets outside Bank of America Stadium , offered T-shirts, sweatshirts, keychains and more.

Kim and Meilis White, a mother-daughter duo who came to Charlotte from Rock Hill for the show, said they’d been in line for about 15 minutes.

“We’re just looking,” Kim said.

Meilis - who previously saw Beyoncé when she toured with her husband, Jay-Z — said she’s excited to see her musical idol since childhood again.

It’s Kim’s first time seeing the megastar.

“We’re excited to hear good music,” she said.

– Mary Ramsey

5:45 p.m. | Last minute choice is the best outfit choice for Beyoncé

Rhonda K. Bryant, 35, styled herself and her cousin, Tiffany, 35, for the Beyoncé concert.

She loves pink, so she chose to wear an all-pink ensemble, featuring a pink catsuit, sleeves and pink metallic cowboy boots. She customized her cowboy hat with stickers listing some of Beyoncé’s songs.

She planned her outfit yesterday, she said. She admits her outfit was a last-minute choice.

“That’s when I get my best ideas,” she said.

Tiffany Bryant wore open-toe clear heels, brown scrunched pants and a green and brown marbled sleeveless top. She said her cousin planned her outfit on Tuesday, before Rhonda had planned her own concert attire. Everything she wore she already had in her closet.

A Renaissance in Charlotte: Thousands of fans descend on Queen City for Beyoncé

5:55 p.m. | “I’ve got to bring my A-game”

Kelyn Maynard, 34, was inspired by ballroom for her outfit, which consisted of long, black mesh gloves, a black two-piece and a sparkly bandana.

“It’s Renaissance, so of course you got to go all out,” she said. “So I did look at her tour earlier in London. Everybody was going blinged out. So, I was like, ‘OK, I’ve got to I’ve got to bring my A-game.’”

6 p.m.: Crowds swell uptown ahead of Beyoncé show

Thousands filled the sidewalks and streets outside Bank of America Stadium by 6 p.m., ahead of gates opening for Beyoncé’s show.

Fans were dispersed among gates around the stadium, but some lines still grew to a city block or more.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m., except for VIP ticket holders, who could get in as early at 6 p.m.

7 p.m.: Musicians get the party started outside BofA Stadium

From a violinist to a drummer and a brass band, the music started in uptown even before Beyoncé takes the stage.

Multiple musicians were playing right outside of Bank of America stadium Wednesday evening as concertgoers arrived for the Renaissance World Tour.

Some in line danced along to the tunes and left tips for the musicians.

7 p.m. | Raleigh fan “taking it all in”

Trevor Roberts from Raleigh spent months in preparation for the concert but says it is all worth it.

“I’m seeing Beyonce just perform. She’s an amazing performer, vocalist. I’m just excited to see her, oh my gosh,” Roberts said.

His favorite song from the Renaissance album is “Energy,” but Roberts said he doesn’t care which songs she performs. He’s just happy to see Beyoncé in person.

“I think that I’ll be speechless. And just kind of taking in, I like to sing and all of that, to like perform so I’m just going to take that in, you know, and kind of take in in her expertise,” Roberts said.

– Terry Benjamin

7:15 p.m. | “Anything for Beyoncé”

Alana Abad from Virginia Beach is coming to the concert as a birthday trip from her best friend.

“I’m very excited and just surprised, they were like, ‘You want to go to Beyoncé?’ and I’m like, ‘Who doesn’t want to go to Beyonce?’” Abad said.

Abad said the drive from Virginia to Charlotte was worth it. “We took a little drive, but anything for Beyoncé, am I right?” she said.

The moment she hopes for most is to see a certain special guest.

“I’m hoping to tell everyone that I saw Blue Ivy. That’s probably going to be my most hyped moment, “ Abad said.

7:15 p.m. | “It will represent the queen, Beyoncé”

Torrey Dixon, 45, wore a white cowboy hat, plaid pants and a Beyoncé T-shirt. He got his shirt a couple of days ago, but he’s been thinking about what he was going to wear for weeks. He wanted to combine the ideas of style, comfort and his love of Beyoncé, he said.

“That’s why I mixed these together. I thought, ‘It will be comfortable, it will be cool, it will be sexy and it will represent the queen, Beyoncé,” he said.

7:20 p.m. | “Freedom of expression”

Jamar Holloway, 34, wore an outfit from a fast-fashion retailer. He said his white tank top is an homage to Beyoncé’s “Crazy In Love” music video. His sparkly cowboy hat and sneakers coordinated with his silver holographic nail polish.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour is a “freedom of expression,” Holloway said.

7:20 p.m. | “Something outrageous”

Tommy Bennett, 67, is from Danville, Virginia. He said he found pieces of his outfit at a vintage boutique in his hometown. Before deciding on his outfit, he laid out about five different options. He decided to throw on a mix of different styles, paired with an extremely wide-brimmed sun hat.

“I always wear something outrageous,” he said. “When I saw this hat online I said, ‘It’s going to be hot, and I’m going to need some shade.’”

He wore his hat with a newsprint blazer, white cowboy boots and a pair of black and white shorts.

“I wanted to wear something shorter than short, so I decided on hot pants,” he said.

He said it is amazing to see the network of people Beyoncé is bringing to her tour. As the present of his local NAACP branch, he said, this kind of event is what the organization encourages.

“I love it. You can reach out to everybody — everybody’s here,” he said. “It’s fashion, its personality and it sends a message to bring everyone together.”

7:30 p.m. | “Disco alien cowgirl” outfits

Kitty Hear, 23, was styled by her friend Gavin Jambora, 20, who bought their tickets to the show on presale. He created her bedazzled her black cowboy hat and sent her inspiration photos for a concert outfit. The two friends said everyone’s outfits were very disco and 1980s inspired. They described it as, “disco alien cowgirl.”

“I think the concept of Renaissance in 2023 is an Afrofuturism Western theme,” Hear said. “Because with the popularization of (the movie) “Get Out”, that was also another black Afro-American Western. It’s kind of like a reclamation.”

“I don’t really know where (the Western aspect) came from,” Jambora added. “But if Beyoncé tells us to do it, we’re going to do it.”

Hear wore loose-knit knee-high socks that she bought from Amazon. She said the Renaissance tour style has to do with mixing textures just as much as mixing colors. People around the stadium seemed to exemplify that idea as denim was paired with leather, sparkles, pearls and knits.

Jambora paired his silver disco pants with a large tinsel poncho and matching boots. They both carried matching pink paper fans, an accessory many concert-goers brought to fight the intense afternoon sun.

The Renaissance tour aesthetic is Jambora’s favorite of Beyonce’s albums.

“It’s just giving: ‘Be who you want and do what you want,’” he said.

He said he enjoys dressing up for concerts because he can be comfortable knowing everybody is also going to be dressing up, he said.

7:30 p.m. | “It’s the unity”

Keli Green is looking at this concert as something special, seeing everyone from different backgrounds and ethnicities all together.

“It’s the unity — everybody is in their silver and black. I’m seeing all people here just happy and enjoying themselves,” Green said.

Being there in her eyes is something momentous.

“We’re a part of history with actually being here, so I’m excited to be a part of it,” Green said.

7:30 p.m. | Lines dying down as concert start time nears

The lines to get into Bank of America Stadium that once spilled into the street were largely contained in the stadium by 7:30 p.m.

Some groups of fans were still making their way through uptown for the show, stopping to take pictures and making sure their mobile tickets were loaded properly.

7:45 p.m. | A “cultural reset”

Stacy Sprinkles, 21, wore a custom-made bodysuit that she had made overseas in the U.K. She started thinking about her outfit three months ago and wanted to look like a walking disco ball. She spent between $600-$700 on her outfit, she said.

“I wanted to be really shiny and over the top,” she said.

Sprinkles said Beyoncé is combining old school and new school with the Renaissance tour look. She described the tour as a “cultural reset.”

Sparkles was sitting with her friend, Melody Rose, 21. It was Rose’s first time seeing Beyoncé, and Sprinkles’ first concert. They are both big Beyoncé fans, they said, and play her music around the house.

Rose wore a holographic silver two-piece set with a futuristic pair of platform boots. She based her outfit around the boots, she said.

Her priority with her outfit was to make a statement, she said, which she felt like she accomplished. She was inspired by the Renaissance album song “Alien Superstar,” and channeled that in her outfit.

“She’s making underground culture and making it mainstream,” Sprinkles said.

7:50 p.m. | Beyoncé wore all black, so she wore all black

Annie Hobson, 19, and her friend Kaitlyn Golyski, 19, traveled from Aiken, South Carolina, for the concert.

Hobson and Golyski used social media to find inspiration for their outfits. Hobson said she used Pinterest to find outfits based on what other people wore to previous shows.

Golyski, who used Pinterest, Instagram and TikTok to find outfit inspiration, said she pulled inspiration from a show where Beyoncé wore all black, so she wore all black.

Golyski also attended Taylor Swift’s Eras tour . She said she thinks one similarity between the two tours is that concert-goers channel the style of the artist when choosing their outfits.

She said she doesn’t think the outfits from Beyoncé’s tour are as extreme as Swift’s Eras tour.

8 p.m. | “I feel seen”

Dallan Russell, 22, stood about one foot above the crowd in his platform shoes. The boots were paired with a cowboy hat, an embellished bodysuit and a silver metallic skirt. He said putting together his outfit was stressful because he ordered so much of it online and worried he wouldn’t be able to get all the pieces in time.

He said his outfit is inspired by his favorite song on the Renaissance album, “Alien Superstar.” His outfit had a diamonds-and-pearls theme, he said.

Looking at other people’s concert outfits also helped him choose his look, he said. He used TikTok for inspiration, as well.

“I feel seen,” Russell said. “She acknowledged the LGBT community and ballroom culture.”... “She paid homage to a lot of Queer people.”

He described ballroom culture as, “a group of people in the room showcasing their talents, dancing, showing face and their outfit, being present, being them unapologetically and living their lives.”

Russell has no other chance to dress up like he did for the Renaissance tour — it is his version of the Met Gala, he said.

8 p.m. | “Breathing the same air as Beyoncé”

Antonio Hines said he was raised on Beyoncé’s music and that it is amazing being able to see her live.

“I feel like we’ve been listening to Beyoncé since like elementary school. It’s just a full circle moment,” Hines said.”We will literally be breathing the same air as Beyoncé. I came, I saw, I conquered.”

8:15 p.m. | “Life-changing experience”

Johannah Shelton from Asheville was able to go to see Beyoncé due to her friends having a spare ticket a month prior to the concert. Now, being in Charlotte, she is looking forward to what’s in store.

“I feel like this is about to be a life-changing experience,” Shelton said.

Clothes worn to Beyoncé’s recently-finished tour have been getting quite the “renaissance” in thrift stores.

Instead of tossing the shining silver and metallic statement pieces to the back of their closets, many fans have been giving the clothes a second life by donating them to thrift stores, according to one employee. 

@mistervenus9 I have seen non stop silver for the last three months😭☠️ #beyonce #rennaissanceworldtour ♬ MY HOUSE – Beyoncé

“You work at a thrift store and the renny tour is over,” the text overlay read on the video posted by TikToker user Nyne (@mistervenus9). Beyoncé’s highest-grossing tour to date concluded on Oct. 1 in Kansas City.

The thrift store employee shared some of the pieces they’ve seen come in, such as silver pants, a silver skirt, a sparkling silver pantsuit, and heels with silver rhinestones. 

“I have seen non stop silver for the last three months,” the caption read.

While Taylor Swift fans have been donning colorful sequins to the Eras Tour , Beyoncé fans have been getting into formation with silver, after the Grammy-winning singer asked fans to wear the color as a birthday present for her for some of her shows.

“My birthday wish is to celebrate with you wearing your most fabulous silver fashions to the shows 8.23 – 9.22,” Beyoncé wrote on an Instagram Story post. “We’ll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night.”

This led fans—and even celebrities—to scramble for their last-minute concert outfits. Some of this panic was shared on TikTok.

User @justyngee turned to the “Beyhive” for a fashion emergency. He needed help in deciding whether he should wear the gold chest plate that he made specifically for the concert, or wear his back-up silver outfit to appease the singer. 

@justyngee Beyhive we have an emergency! Do I listen to the Queen or wear my gold fit??? 😫 #beyonce #renaissancetouroutfit #renaissancetour #beyoncesilver ♬ PURE/HONEY – Beyoncé

In the comments, viewers came up with ideas on how to rewear the clothes.

“NYE parties are awaiting these outfits,” one user wrote. 

“My mom found renaissance merch sweatpants at the thrift store,” another wrote.

Some users shared that they thrifted their outfits for the concert rather than buying new clothes, in order to avoid this very scenario. 

“The way i thrifted my outfit for the concert bc I knew if I at least didn’t wanna rewear it at least it was already created and thrifted,” a woman shared.

One fan was disappointed by the thought of all these clothes only being worn once. “This is actually so sad do people feel like they can’t dress like this outside a concert? why buy it thennnnnn i hate consumerism GAH,” they wrote.

If fans are looking for a place to rewear their outfits, they could wear them to Beyoncé’s concert movie , Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. It’s made more than $21 million since it opened Friday, while the Renaissance tour made over half-billion dollars , and has debuted in over 2,000 theaters worldwide.
