Loewe originally showcased this unique design in their Fall/Winter 2022 collection, but they gave it a special twist just for the tour. They transformed the gown into a sleek bodysuit and added a new color palette featuring chrome, silver, black, red, gold, white, and gray!
Loewe described their tour outfits as a mix of futuristic ideas with a touch of theatrical and disco-era vibes.

When the tour videos started circulating, I had to pinch myself because I couldn't believe my eyes. Beyoncé was rocking literal Tony Stark-level technology on stage. The outfit itself is a simple white robe, but when exposed to UV light, it transforms into a mesmerizing replication of beautiful stained glass.
Whether you love or have mixed feelings about the actual look, you can't deny that the concept is mind-blowing. It's simply unreal.

Beyoncé and her background dancers always nail that perfect coordination. This bodysuit came with a custom long biker jacket, knee-high boots, and a detachable sarong that made me want to beg David Koma to lend it to me for my Miami trip.

Adding another phenomenal designer to the lineup, this bodysuit is adorned with "silver bugle bead and crystal anatomical embroidery." It was actually the opening outfit for the tour, although it was later swapped for the Valentino gown. McQueen totally slayed this look, especially for the opening segment featuring ballads before the first costume change.
#6. The closing cape by Coperni

Inspired by a look from Coperni's Fall/Winter 2023 collection, this custom ensemble is made of silver laser-cut feathers and features painstaking hand-stitch work that took hundreds of hours. As the show came to an end, Beyoncé ascended into the sky on a massive metallic horse, wearing this stunning Coperni cape and bodysuit fit for a true queen.
#7. The custom "Queen Bee" outfit from Casey Cadwallader at Mugler

Beyoncé kicked off her tour in a breathtaking custom bodysuit from Mugler. The ensemble was accompanied by a metal antennae piece, inspired by Mugler's 1997 Spring/Summer collection.
While the outfit didn't stay in the lineup for long, presumably due to practicality concerns, it has been replaced with a new and seemingly lighter "Queen Bee" piece, taking Bey's stage presence to a whole new level.
#8. The disco ball outfit by Balmain

Among the array of Balmain pieces on stage, this one takes the spotlight. Balmain describes it as a "custom mirrored mini dress," and it's truly mesmerizing. The mirrors catch the light, creating a radiant glow whenever she moves. This look is everything.

This is the outfit that kicks off the tour in true style. After Beyoncé changes out of her elegant Valentino gown, she slips into this ensemble. With her and the background dancers, the aesthetic is simply unbeatable. A stunning metallic bodysuit paired with a bold black glove allows her to show everyone why she's the greatest performer in the world.

Loewe's disco-inspired creation is undeniably stunning. The brand contributed to several outfits for the tour, and each one is breathtaking. Creative director Jonathan Anderson aimed to play with sculptural forms, trompe l'oeil (an artistic term for realistic optical illusions of 3D objects on 2D surfaces), and body illusions for Beyoncé's tour wardrobe.
#11. The webbed and pearled body suit by Balmain

Balmain's creative director, Olivier Rousteing, who is a close friend and considers Beyoncé his long-time muse, designed a range of pieces for the tour, and each one is absolute perfection. This black corset intricately adorned with webs and pearls, paired with glossy black boots, is truly out of this world.
