Beyonce celebrated Juneteenth while on her ‘Renaissance’ Tour Stop in Amsterdam on Sunday, June 18th, 2022.
Usually, Queen Bee will share moments from the tour without a caption but she had something special planned for the holiday.
On Instagram Sunday night she wrote:
In honor of Juneteenth, everything I wore for RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR tonight was created exclusively by Black designers.
Then she shared pictures of the gorgeous details of her outfit.

According to Vogue there are 51 dates on the blockbuster tour, and Beyoncé has worked with the stylists KJ Moody, Shiona Turini, Karen Langley, and British Vogue’s Julia Sarr-Jamois to create a vast “tour-drobe” with a disco-inspired aesthetic, with new custom looks being introduced for different legs of the tour.
The Black designers she championed on stage include Feben, Maximilian Davis for Ferragamo, Olivier Rousteing for Balmain, Ibrahim Kamara for Off-White, LaQuan Smith and her own designs for Ivy Park.
What is Juneteenth
Juneteenth, also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, is an annual holiday celebrated in the United States on June 19th.
It commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and recognizes the end of slavery in the United States.
The history of Juneteenth dates back to June 19, 1865, when Union General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and announced General Order No. 3, which proclaimed the freedom of all slaves in Texas.
This announcement came more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, and it effectively marked the end of slavery in the last Confederate state.
Juneteenth celebrations often include parades, speeches, educational events, family gatherings, and other community activities.
It is a time for reflection, remembrance, and honoring the contributions and resilience of African Americans throughout history.
The holiday gained increased recognition and popularity in recent years, and on June 17, 2021, it was officially recognized as a federal holiday in the United States.

This isn’t the first time they have collaborated, as Beyoncé commissioned the designer straight after her 2020 Central Saint Martins MA womenswear graduate collection, to create costumes for the video for her track “Brown Skin Girl”.
Oh and it would not be a complete Beyonce post if we did not mention Blue!
Blue Blue killed it per usual, making her grandmother proud.
Ms. Tina Lawson shared a clip of her granddaughter entertaining the crowd with the caption:
