We’re tracking ever couture custom from the North American leg of Bey’s tour.
Date July 24, 2023
In case you missed it, Beyoncé is in the middle of an historic world tour — her first in seven years! — and the jaw-dropping outfits she’s been sporting have been just as captivating as her Renaissance Tour performances.

We covered the first leg of Beyoncé’s Renaissance Your looks above, and now that Queen Bey is on North American soil, we’ll do our best to log all her new concert ensembles here. First up: Canada’s very own Toronto, where Beyoncé and her wildly talented crew of backup singers and dancers performed two epic shows on July 8 and 9.
Toronto, Ontario
Beyoncé kicked off the North American leg of her Renaissance Tour by opening the show in a custom Tiffany & Co. Elsa Peretti mesh dress. The one-a-kind creation featured chains of bezel-set stones on approximately 150 feet of mesh ribbon that took over 200 hours to make. Bey complemented the look with (what else?) a Tiffany & Co. jewellery — vintage earrings and a custom anklet.

Later on in the July 8 show at Toronto’s Rogers Center, the queen debuted another new tour outfit that was giving Destiny’s Child “Survivor” (IYKYK). The pop star’s camouflage look was comprised of a sequined bodysuit, a custom sequined cropped jacket by Adidas x Ivy Park, and thigh-high heeled boots. She accessorized the shimmering camo moment with knit gloves, oversized black sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat that she took off to showcase her honey-blonde inches.
For night two in Toronto, Bey busted out yet another sparkly new outfit in the form of a custom lace Fendi dress with honeycomb-inspired crystal embroidery based on the house’s Fendi Couture Spring/Summer 2021 collection.

Philadelphia
For her first Renaissance Tour concert in the U.S., Beyoncé slipped into a custom Givenchy mini-dress that was accented by intricate cut-outs and flourishes of fringe. The singer accessorized the dress with ankle-tie heels, sheer black opera gloves, and Tiffany & Co. diamonds.
Bey chose another sequin-covered camo outfit from Ivy Park for her Philadelphia tour stop, this time a two-piece set with attached gloves and chaps-like detailing that extended into her boots.
Finally, the superstar selected a dramatic silver look from Valentino to close her Philly show. The ensemble featured a miles-long cape, and she finished the look off with sparkly boots — and a matching silver horse, naturally.
Nashville
For the next stop on her U.S tour, Bey fully committed to the disco cowboy aesthetic she’s been sporting all Renaissance season. Wearing a glittery red dress, the “Cuff It” singer accessorized with patent leather cowboy boots and a statement belt and necklace.
She then changed into a hot pink look that would give Margot Robbie and the rest of the Barbie movie cast a run for their money. True Beyhive members will be quick to clock the similarities of this Ivy Park outfit to the one she wore in Amsterdam and Toronto. But instead of a gown, Beyoncé turned it into a fringed romper and jacket and added another pair of thigh-high boots.
Then to top it all off, Queen B collaborated with British fashion royalty, Alexander McQueen, on an embroidered bodysuit with matching gloves and shoes.

Louisville, Ky.
To open her Louisville show, Beyoncé wore a plunging Dsquared2 bodysuit adorned with layers of rhinestone embellishments and accessorized the look with — what else? — matching elbow-length gloves.
Later in the show, Bey shimmied in a custom two-piece set by Raisa Vanessa. The ’fit was covered in rectangular gold sequins and accented by two thigh-high slits.
For her third fresh Louisville look, the superstar temporarily shelved the all-over sparkle, selecting this custom Diesel catsuit. The ensemble may look like denim but it’s actually a trompe l’oeil look pattern meant to look like the fabric.
Minneapolis, Minn.
This Barbie is actually Beyoncé! The singer embraced all things Barbie during her concert in Minneapolis the day before the much-anticipated movie hit theatres in this metallic pink Acne Studios outfit. She accessorized her micro-shorts and bustier with a long, oversized coat and sparkling thigh-high boots.

Next, the queen Bey (and queen of bodysuits) wore a jaw-dropping custom Alexander McQueen creation complete with sequin horse embroidery on a tulle base.
Balmain designed this futuristic sculptural latex bodysuit ensemble, complete with retro knee-high boots, oversized shield sunglasses, and an exaggerated wide-brimmed top hat.

Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour isn’t just about catsuits, darling. Behold: a custom Schiaparelli couture creation fit for the Met Gala red carpet.

Beyoncé wowed the Chicago crowd in this silver custom Marine Serre bodysuit. Queen Bey adorned the sleek catsuit by layering silver chain bra and panties on top.
This liquid-look silver bodysuit is incredible, but look a little closer and you’ll see Beyoncé’s matching opera gloves have metallic nails attached to them. Meow! Just another example of how the queen never ceases to surprise.
The Renaissance Tour continues on July 26 in Detroit, Mich. and we can’t wait to see what Beyoncé wears next.
