Telfar, Cartier, Chanel, and Tiffany are all name-checked on the album, but Beyoncé’s Renaissance-wear is the megawatt star equivalent of Lyst’s hottest brands index, a who’s who of the brands that matter this minute. The best part for us eagle-eyed runway fanatics? Many of these looks are reimaginations of pieces we’ve seen before at the shows. Scroll through to see how each of Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour outfits was transformed from runway to stage, and check back in after each tour date for updates.

Carolina Herrera

Wes Gordon gave the classic cotton shirt, a Carolina Herrera signature, an update with draped dramatic hoods for his resort 2023 collection. One of them he transformed into a dress, which was reimagined for Beyoncé here.

Roberto Cavalli

Fausto Puglisi has a knack for onstage dressing—he’s also outfitting Taylor Swift for her own The Eras Tour. Here, the designer played with fire to create a heated look for Beyoncé, one somewhat reminiscent to the denim patchwork he presented for fall 2023.

This tour is not only an index of the hottest brands right now, but also a mini trend report of sorts. In case you hand’t noticed yet, trompe l’oeil is everywhere on the runways these days; and at Diesel, Glenn Martens is leading the charge.
