The Inspiration Behind Her Look
While Beyonce was wearing a yellow corset with feathers from Atelier Zuhra in Dubai, Blue was shining in a big red tulip skirt suit. Her outfit was inspired by the sunset and took about a month to make.
She Looked Like Royalty
The show was split into three sets; for the second third, Beyonce appeared with another outfit, a custom red and gold corseted catsuit with a long skirt designed by Nicolas Jebran. She completed the look with a halo-look crown, which made her look like royalty, as Vogue stated.
A Look For Each Set
She contacted the Ukrainian designer Ivan Frolov for her third and last look. This time she showed up with a tiny hot pink and silver dress, long gloves, and thigh boots. All the looks were on point with Beyonce's usual style; however, she couldn't show as much skin due to the Muslim country's regulations.
