For the final stop of the tour in Kansas City, Missouri, meanwhile, she opened the show in a bustier dress embroidered with thousands of rhinestones, paired with black opera gloves.

Please do not be alarmed, remain calm Beyoncé has announced that she is releasing a documentary, “Renaissance: A film by Beyoncé,” of the Renaissance album produced through the partnership between AMC theaters and Parkwood Entertainment, Dec. 1.

In LA, Beyoncé wore another intricate Mugler piece: a strappy silver bodysuit designed by Cadwallader and styled by Turini.
When I am performing, I am nothing but free,” Beyoncé said in the documentary trailer. “The goal for this tour was to create a place where everyone is free and no one is judged—you’re unique.”

The Queen's Renaissance era was made to feel like a futuristic silver, pearls and diamonds lined ballroom comprised of individuals of all races, genders and sexualities free to express themselves, with hints of Southern sass prevalent in the presence of cowboy hats and boots.


The Renaissance World Tour transcended intergalactic energy with Beyoncé’s extravagant custom looks shared via social media every few days by RWT attendees, keeping the world buzzing not to exclude the extraordinary ensembles created by the Beyhive for their concert debuts—some making more than one stop during the tour.

André Courrèges was one of the instrumental designers of space-inspired, intergalactic fashion of the ‘60s, and critical in defining the “retro-futurism” aesthetic. Fittingly, Beyoncé wore a custom silver Courrèges leotard with cutouts for several performances of “Alien Superstar.”

The ethereal RWT began May 10, in Stockholm, Sweden and ended October 1 in Kansas City, Missouri spanning across 56 dates, 39 cities and 17 countries. Throughout the course of the tour, the Houston Texas native shared the stage with her oldest daughter Blue Ivy, legendary lead singer of the Supremes Diana Ross, Oklama AKA Kendrick Lamar, Hot Girl Coach Megan Thee Stallion and reportedly managed a team of more than 300 crew members.


Variety reported that the “Virgo’s Groove” songwriter grossed over $579 million in her ninth concert tour, the highest grossing tour by any female artists, Black artist and solo American artists in history.

The Grammy award-winning singer didn’t miss a beat even when the FedEx Field tour stop in Landover, Maryland experienced inclement weather that delayed the start of the concert exposing attendees to heavy rain and lightning. Mrs. Carter paid $100,000 to keep local trains running later than usual to ensure fans were able to stay to enjoy the show and make it home safely.


According to People, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority shared in a press release that the RWT covered the bill “to run more trains, keep all 98 stations open for customers to exit, and other operational expenses,” for an additional hour of service on Sunday.


The Beyhive believe that the “Diva” songstress owns a burner account that allows her to watch what's happening on the timeline incognito. The hive, especially those who weren’t able to make it to the concert that urged that she make a documentary to follow Homecoming which premiered on Netflix April 17, she replied “be careful what you ask for, ‘cause I just might comply.”
