Beyoncé continues to turn heads with her bold and breathtaking stage outfits, and her latest look from the Cowboy Carter Tour is no exception.
During her performance at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Md., on July 7, the 43-year-old pop icon revealed a custom stage outfit by Calvin Klein that featured more than 28,000 crystal beads and took a remarkable 246 hours to complete.
A Sparkling Underwear Set with a Glamorous Twist
While performing “Bodyguard,” Beyoncé donned a black and gold underwear set that put a glamorous spin on the classic Calvin Klein logo bralette and high-waisted panty. The set, designed by Veronica Leoni, the creative director of Calvin Klein, was bedazzled with black and gold beads in a striped pattern.
The beads glittered under the lights, adding a stunning shine with every camera flash and stage spotlight. The signature Calvin Klein waistband was prominently featured on both the bralette and the high-waisted panty.
28,000 Crystal Beads and a Denim Winged Cape
What made this look truly special, however, was the addition of a denim winged cape embroidered with 28,000 crystal beads and sequins. The cape, which also featured black and gold feather detailing, was a true testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Calvin Klein.
The design took 246 hours to complete, making it one of the most labor-intensive outfits in Beyoncé’s extensive stage wardrobe.
Beyoncé completed the ensemble with a pair of matching thigh-high boots, adding to the glittering black-and-gold theme that made her shine throughout the performance.
Beyoncé’s Signature Custom Looks on the Cowboy Carter Tour
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour has featured several custom looks, each more extravagant than the last. Earlier in the tour, she worked with Donatella Versace to create two custom designs for her June 6 and 7 shows at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
The outfits, which took a combined 1,100 hours to create, included a hand-cut and hand-sewn white fringe bodysuit and a crystal-covered bodysuit, as well as a quilted ball gown adorned with Versace’s Barocco print.
