NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 26: Beyonce performs onstage during 2015 Global Citizen Festival to end extreme poverty by 2030 in Central Park on September 26, 2015 in New York City.

It should cost a billion to look this good. Beyoncé’s outfits have been putting on a show of their own. The multi hyphenate performer began her Renaissance World Tour trek in Ma. On February 1, Beyoncé posted across her social media “RENAISSANCEㅤ ㅤWORLD TOUR 2023.”

She has since showcased her talents (and iconic outfits) throughout Stockholm, Paris, London, Toronto, Boston, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and more.

Before the arrival of Renaissance, which she released in 2022, the artist posted a message about her state of mind during the creation of the project.

“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world. It allowed me to feel free and adventurous in a time when little else was moving,” she penned on her official website at the time. “My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration.”

She also noted that Renaissance is part of a three-act project. The other two acts have not been specified on whether they will be additional albums or when they are set to arrive.

Her tour has also broken several records, including ones she has set herself as an artist. Her five-date residency at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England was the highest-grossing engagement by an American artist, a Black artist, and a woman, with gross earnings of $42.2 million, according to Billboard.

In July, Beyoncé earned $127.6 million for a run of 11 shows between July 8 and 30, which beat Bad Bunny as the previous record holder as no artist has made over $100 million within one month since the chart’s inception in 2019.

Also, her two-night shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on July 29-30, also topped the Top Boxscores chart by selling 106,000 tickets and earning $33.1 million which is the highest-grossing concerts by a female artist in history.

The Renaissance World Tour has grossed $295.8 million total through Aug. 1, and marks Beyoncé’s highest-grossing tour of all time. The Formation World Tour in 2016 made 256 million, and her 2018 On the Run II tour with Jay-Z made 253 million.

She is estimated to break the half-billion mark by the tour’s end in October.

While fans have lined up worldwide to witness Beyoncé perform, a part of the Renaissance experience is the elaborate role that her costumes have played as well. Take a look at 15 of her most iconic outfits from the tour below:

  • 1. Poland

    For a night in Poland, the superstar wore a silver sequin dress that resembled a shell. The dress also had a high slit which she wore nude tights. She paired the look with large reflecting silver earrings and black velvet gloves. The came together with black pointed heels that were encrusted with diamonds in a square formation at the top. For makeup, she chose a soft glam pink look and kept her hair in a half-up half-down look.

  • 2. London

    America has a problem and it’s Beyoncé in this outfit! The Renaissance creator resembled her signature “bee” every night during the tour but for this particular London stop she decided to switch-up the look. The “bee” costume is in classic gold, silver, and black which features a halter neck cut and mini balloon bottom. She paired the dress with black sparkly gloves and thigh-high boots. Her reflective sunglasses resembled bee antennas and she donned a gorgeous gold, black, and silver hat.

  • 3. Minneapolis

    Beyoncé changed her golden wavy locks for a bone straight look for this mesmerizing outfit. On her Renaissance album cover she sits on a silver hyroglyphic-esque horse in which the Beehive has named “Reneigh.” For this outfit “Reneigh” makes an appearance when Beyoncé opted for a sheer and silver sequin one-piece for her Minneapolis tour stop. The front part of the outfit shows “Reneigh” in an upward stance on top of a sheer polka dots. The outfit is lined in black which compliments her classic one-strap black stilettos.

  • Detroit

    Beyoncé wore a custom Ivy Park piece for her Detroit tour stop. The singer wore a sparkly gold sequin dress with a matching hood. The bottom part of her dress was sheer which showed off her black heels. The shoes themselves were a focal point of the outfit as the heels resembled the back of a horse dipped in gold– or shall we say Reneigh in gold.

  • East Rutherford

    This church girl is hurting everybody with this elegant pink masterpiece. One of the very few moments Beyoncé wore a colors outside of the Renaissance theme and it was for sure worth it. The singer wore a mermaid-style light pink dress that was adorned in diamonds. What completed the look was the delicate matching pink veil which had flowers at the top. Gloves has also been a repeated accessory in Beyoncé’s stage looks including this one. The gloves had multicolor sequins on them which she shows off in a close-up photo.

  • Washington

    This look will be silver look is one to remember. While silver and gold were colors that matched the theme of the tour, Beyoncé took it up a notch and added fringe to the entire look. She wore a deep cut bodysuit covered in gems with an oversized fringe coat. For accessories she wore knee-high sparkly boots and a large chrome hat. Hidden underneath her hat, are matching sunglasses that could blind you by the sparkle.

  • Atlanta

    Beyoncé set Atlanta on fire in this blue ensemble. Every time she has ventured out of the color themes for the tour it has been worth it and this one is an example. The singer wore a deep cut bodysuit in royal blue with flame details that are also seen on her knee-high boots and gloves. To top the outfit off she wore a black hat that had the flame details as well as a matching fan seen in backstage photos and blue sunglasses.

  • Atlanta

    Beyoncé stunned in red for her visit to Atlanta. She wore a red sequin bodysuit with a red fan detail the covered her left side. For this outfit she added a long red sheer veil and gem encrusted tights with matching gloves, and short-heeled boots. For her makeup, she added a large outline of a wing but was still subtle to match her soft glam look which was accentuated by the soft waves in her hair.

  • Las Vegas

    Beyoncé truly made a statement when she walked out on stage in this elaborate Vegas look. She wore a chrome thin strapped body suit with silver fringe at the top with over the knee boots completely covered in fringe then accentuated every time she walked. The accessories speak for themselves as the oversized silver fringe jacket is a statement piece in its own right as is the matching large hat yet all of them work together instead of overpowering each component’s shine. Keeping with a futuristic look, the Grammy winner also wore oversized shield sunglasses.

  • Las Vegas

    Beyoncé put a whole new meaning to “women in tech” with this outfit that she wore in Vegas. Her bodysuit featured multiple tech devices such as usb cords, a flip phone, and several other cords. She also completed the look with flip phone earrings and silver thigh high chrome boots.

    Take a look at the full look below or through Beyoncé’s photos posted above.

But, what stole the look was her face covering that resembled a large hat and a ski mask in red chrome.

  • Las Vegas

    Poker, anyone? Beyoncé looked like a master poker player in her white blazer bodysuit. For accessories, the singer wore white furry shawl, shimmery black knee-high boots, and a cane and sunglasses covered in silver sequins.

The Grammy winner commanded the stage in her large captain hat with a cursive “B” scribled on the front.

She also opted for a bone straight look instead of her usual waves and oversized black sunglasses with a silver trim.

  • East Rutherford

    Last but certainly not least is Beyoncé’s “hand” catsuit that she has worn multiple times across her tour.
