The wait was maximum, the atmosphere electric. Last night, in Sweden, officially opened the Renaissance Tour, the new world tour of Beyoncé, who had not done one since 2016. Last summer, she already signed her comeback with the album Renaissance. Composed of 16 tracks, oscillating between house and R'nB, the opus proved to be the most fashionable of the singer. Thus, after the Balmain haute couture collection created especially for the album, it's time for stage outfits, all signed by designers.

One of these looks particularly caught the eye for its first performance. This is an ultra-tight Loewe sparkling jumpsuit, set entirely with sequins, which featured strategically placed black hands, each manicured with long red nails. Two of the hands went up the star's legs, two others fiercely covered the more intimate parts of her body, and two more, revealed when the singer turned her back to the audience during the performance of Drunk In Love, rested on her posterior.
To make matters worse, Beyoncé wore a pair of gloves exactly similar to those in her suit. This silhouette was created especially for her by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director at Loewe, based on a look from his Fall/Winter 2022-2023 collection.
A fashion tour
If this combination caught the eye of Internet users – on Twitter, a comment even predicts that this bodysuit will later be in the history books – Beyoncé, she was not satisfied. The singer has chained the outfits of designers, designed exclusively for her tour. Thus, to interpret Pure/Honey, she donned a personalized Mugler bodysuit, inspired by the Haute Couture collection of spring 1997. This was followed by a pearl bustier straight out of Balmain's spring-summer collection, a David Koma metal ensemble, a silver Courrèges bodysuit inspired by the autumn-winter 2023-2024 show and an Alexander McQueen shoulder bearer look, remodeled on the basis of a silhouette from the last show. It's tailoring, it's tailor-made. And one thing is certain, as she says in the first track of the album, Beyoncé isThat Girl.
