Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour will undoubtedly have an everlasting mark on music’s history. But in addition to this, the tour has created fashion and beauty looks that will inevitably have a lasting impact on annual trends and concert culture. Here are some of the biggest fashion and beauty takeaways from the Renaissance Tour.
The largest and most noticeable trend of The Renaissance Tour is undoubtedly the silver dress code. Beyoncé asked fans on Instagram to wear silver during “Virgo season” (dates between August 23 and September 22) to celebrate her September 4 birthday. Beyoncé has spoken at length about her pride in being a Virgo, and even has a song called VIRGO GROOVE – and a matching merch shirt.
In addition to this, the silver dress code perfectly complements the vibe of the Renaissance album, where Beyoncé dons a silver body jewelry, a metallic silver cowgirl hat and sits atop sparkling silver horse on the cover. Gold jewelry has been the rage for a few years now, but with the snap of a finger, Beyoncé changed that. If you’ve been buying gold and are looking to make the switch to silver, a versatile pair of huggies or simple herringbone necklace from Mejuri is a great way to start incorporating the metallic back into your wardrobe.
After observing social media and concertgoers, the fashion of Renaissance can be summed up as space cowboy/girl meets club-diva. Large bug-eyed sunglasses were everywhere, in addition to silver boots and of course, bejeweled ranch hats.
Despite the undeniable silver trend, Beyoncé started her Vancouver concert in a head-to-toe cobalt blue outfit with a hood and flowing cape behind. The bright colour was impossible to miss, and so was her shimmering gold eyeshadow. The look was ethereal, catching the light of the cameras which could easily be seen on the large screens. To achieve a similar look, try GXVE By Gwen Stefani’s glitter in shade Glimmer. Make sure to use glitter glue and press the glitter into the lid with a dense, flat brush like the 195 from MAC Cosmetics. Do this before you complete your face makeup, as there is sure to be a little fallout on your cheeks.
Whether Beyoncé was wearing a look by Gucci, Self Portrait, or PatBO, the Virgo queen wore her hair down for every single song. Whether it was slightly curled, crimped or straight, her long flowing caramel locks are clearly an unwavering beauty staple of the show.
Lastly, the fashion and energy of The Renaissance Tour has an undeniable queer influence, which Beyoncé has spoken at length about. “Break My Soul” is now hailed as a queer anthem, and many of the famed dancers were Vogueing and engaging in dance-off style performances that were reminiscent of Ball culture that her “Uncle” Jonny introduced her to before his untimely passing.
The Renaissance Tour will irrefutably be a reference point for both music and style for decades to come. Thanks to its immaculate fashions, positive energy, and trend-setting cultural impacts, the Renaissance Tour truly impacted the lives of fans for the better. —Maddie Clerides
