Beyoncé Wasn’t The Only Star At RENAISSANCE World Tour

Beyoncé Knowles has proven that she is not just the Queen bee, but the Queen bee of fashion.

In July of 2022, she released RENAISSANCE to widespread acclaim. The album was highly anticipated since it was her first solo release since Lemonade.

It spurred the Renaissance World Tour, which started on May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden. 

Since its launch, fashion has been a staple of the tour. 

Beyoncé challenged her Beyhive to sport a fun-theme for the concerts: a metallic retro-futurism look for the bold and glamorous.

Naturally, the singer has had some stunning looks of her own. Her outfits have left concertgoers stunned with their daring style, making her look like a work of art.
