Beyoncé's latest update from the Renaissance World Tour showcases a glamorous, glittering look.
The multi-hyphenate shared behind-the-scenes photos of her new ensemble on Instagram last night, following her latest performance in London. The look is comprised of a figure-hugging, long-sleeved gown made of black fabric with a subtle sparkling pattern that shimmers in the onstage lights. The piece features a plunging curved neckline and a sultry hip-high slit, and includes an attached circular structure that frames Bey's head and torso. To accessorize, the superstar chose simple black heels and some themed statement jewelry: custom Tiffany & Co. earrings that spelled out "Renaissance" in diamonds.
The "Cuff It" singer also highlighted a red-hot iteration of her signature stage look, with a long-sleeved corset-style bodysuit entirely covered in red sequins. She added a matching red harness to the ensemble, and accessorized with fishnet tights, red thigh-high boots, and a tall, wide-brimmed hat.
So far on the global tour, which officially kicked off last month in Sweden, the Grammy winner has worn Alexander McQueen, Loewe, Coperni, David Koma, and Courrèges.
Beyoncé released her seventh studio album, Renaissance, last July. She previously teased the record in an interview for Harper’s BAZAAR’s September 2021 cover story.
“With all the isolation and injustice over the past year, I think we are all ready to escape, travel, love, and laugh again. I feel a renaissance emerging, and I want to be part of nurturing that escape in any way possible,” she said. “I’ve been in the studio for a year and a half. Sometimes it takes a year for me to personally search through thousands of sounds to find just the right kick or snare. One chorus can have up to 200 stacked harmonies. Still, there’s nothing like the amount of love, passion, and healing that I feel in the recording studio. After 31 years, it feels just as exciting as it did when I was nine years old. Yes, the music is coming!”
