Beyoncé’s concert tour looks always slay, and everything she’s worn on her Renaissance World Tour is no exception. Not only are her custom looks art unto themselves, but they also align with this summer’s hottest trends. From embellished bodysuits to cowboy boots to looks that honor Black designers, Bey’s costuming is both iconic and timely, making it the perfect inspo for your own summer outfits.
While styling for everyday life looks a little different than styling one of the world’s biggest stars, there are still plenty of delightful details in Bey’s tour wardrobe rotation that we’ve taken note of. Ahead, we’ve gathered 11 jaw-dropping looks from Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour that, with a few minor tweaks, you can wear IRL.
Head-to-Toe Barbiecore
Shop Similar: superdown Lucy Bodycon Dress, $74, and Melissa Shoes Kick-Off Sandals in Pink, $109.
Barbiecore is the colorway of the summer and Beyoncé’s head-to-toe Ivy Park ensemble is the stuff Barbie dream(house)s are made of. To translate this summer trend into daily life, we recommend shopping for elevated, comfy basics in this signature shade.
Illusion Mesh
Shop Similar: Mugler High Neck Long Sleeve Bodysuit, $534 (Originally $890).
From dresses to bodysuits, illusion mesh is beloved by many celebs, but no one does it quite like Bey in custom Loewe. Make this summer trend your own by wearing a full-length jumpsuit featuring illusion mesh paneling. If you’re feeling too exposed, you can easily add a miniskirt or shorts for extra coverage.
Psychedelic Cowboy Boots
Shop Similar: Azalea Wang Way Metallic Boot In Green, $90.
Cowboy boots are undoubtedly on-trend, but you’re unlikely to spot a psychedelic pair like these worn by coastal cowgirl aesthetic enthusiasts. That said, these bold metallic boots will definitely stand out from the crowd.
Asymmetrical Bodysuits
Shop Similar: h:ours Jeffery Bodysuit, $138.
Bodysuits are a summer fashion staple and, naturally, Beyoncé’s gone above and beyond by wearing metallic, asymmetrical bodysuits onstage. Channel this summer trend the Bey way by wearing a single opera-length glove with a long-sleeved bodysuit, or keep things less theatrical with stacked bangles and wide-leg pants.
Thigh-High Slit Maxidresses
Shop Similar: bebe Choker Neck Maxi Dress, $130.
The addition of a sky-high slit on an otherwise classically formal gown is definitely a trend to keep your eye on. Queen Bey has worn several gowns that serve Old Hollywood vibes with a dash of modern-day sensuality on tour. We’re obsessed with the vibe of her red, square-neck Ferragamo by Maximilian Davis gown. Not only is it easy to emulate, but it works IRL for date nights or special events.
Statement Skirt Sets

Shop Similar: AS By DF Clementine Recycled Leather Mini Skirt, $398, and AS By DF Clementine Recycled Leather Jacket, $575.
Skirt sets have never been more popular, but Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour matching set from the Louis Vuitton 2023 Resort Collection is something special. By combining colorful leather and metallic fringe, Bey takes this trend to new heights. You can do the same by picking unexpected matching pieces like a bubblegum pink leather skirt and a cropped statement jacket.
The “New” Peplum
Shop Similar: AREA Embellished Metallic Corset Top, $407.
Relax, dear readers, this is not the peplum of the early aughts. If you don’t trust us, trust Queen Bey, Beyoncé would never wear an outdated peplum. Rather, she’s been rocking the updated peplum of 2023 on tour in a custom Alexander McQueen jumpsuit that sits low on the hips and exaggerates her hourglass figure. We mere mortals can channel this vibe in everyday life by rocking a modern peplum top or bodysuit.

Thermal Prints
Shop Similar: Finesse Xavier Body Print Dress, $44.
Thermal printed separates are having quite a moment, and if Beyoncé is wearing them on tour, you know this summer trend has staying power. While head-to-toe thermal print like Bey’s David Koma ‘fit, might be a lot of look for an average day, you can easily translate this trend into daywear by working a single piece into your wardrobe.
Bejeweled Minidresses
Shop Similar: Retrofête Irina Halter Dress, $1,495.
A mini with a bit of bling is always in style, regardless of the season, but the scalloped edges and dainty lacework-style patterns on Beyoncé’s Renaissance dress are a fresh take on a fashion staple.
Colorful Tights

Shop Similar: Falke Matt Deluxe 30 DEN Women Tights, $43.
While brightly colored tights might strike you as juvenile, the colorful tights trending this summer are sultry and very adult. Both matte and sheer, the red tights Beyoncé wore with a Carolina Herrera by Wes Gordon monochromatic ‘fit are all grown up.
Sparkling Mesh
Shop Similar: Heiress Beverly Hills Black Crystal Embellished Jersey Tank Top, $148.
Think of this sparkly look as the next elevation of the illusion mesh trend. Some of her most stunning bodysuits, including this long-sleeve Gucci number, have rhinestone-studded mesh sleeves. While this style is incredibly delicate (read: tears easily!), there’s no greater night-out statement than one featuring this glittering fabric.
