The Renaissance Tour in Fits
By Unzeela Mansoor, BA Politics and International Relations
When you are born with a name like Beyoncé, you have no option but to be an absolute icon. And through a career spanning over two decades and eight albums, Beyoncé has done exactly that – and so much more! As an artist who is constantly challenging herself and the music industry, the name ‘Renaissance’ is a telling fit for her latest album.
Speaking of fits, Beyoncé starts this rebirth by telling us that she can ‘pull up in these clothes, look so good’ and ‘it’s not the diamonds, it’s not the pearls’ but the fact that she really and truly is just ‘That Girl’. Her stage costumes for the Renaissance World Tour are a testament to the fact that no truer words have ever been sung.
Ranking or even selecting my favourites feels criminal but below you will find what I think are her top five looks from the tour
Number 5
Atlanta saw Beyoncé in a breathtaking ruby bodysuit by Alberta Ferretti. When she sang ‘Your face card never declines, my GOD’ she was talking about herself and we will ‘eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it’- because she is truly serving.
Number 4

America does have a problem … or at least it will! How did they get to see a look this iconic? Designed by Agent Provocateur, and brought to life by the ‘been thick, been fine, still a ten’ Beyoncé.
Number 3
Amster-’Damn she looks amazing in her custom Gucci’- is what the crowd had to say about this look (it’s me, I am the crowd). I have never been to Amsterdam, but I do think I must since it is the place where Beyoncé lost these breathtaking Tiffany & Co. shades. ‘Bey is back and I’m sleeping real good at night’ is what those glasses will sing if they are reunited.
Number 2
Pretty in pink, ‘This is why I live, Sweet Moments like this’, let’s take a ‘sweet moment’ to appreciate this beautiful gown by Tamara Ralph for her Los Angeles show.
And finally, in first place…

Winner: Detroit
Wearing her own Atelier IvyPark line, Beyoncé absolutely slays in this gold caped jumpsuit. Her ‘Stilеttos kicking vintage crystal off the bar’ and as we know, she is truly a SuperStar.
As a Novice Beyoncé stan, I was truly blown away by the energy and quality she maintained across all 57 shows. Beyoncé’s outfits showcase a unique blend of bold, elegance and glamour that only she can pull off. The thoughtful creativity behind each look is what makes them so captivating. I am looking forward to ringing in December with a viewing of the Renaissance World Tour Movie and adding to this list of favourites.
