One notable piece was a bodysuit crafted by Loewe’s creative director, Jonathon Anderson.
This dazzling ensemble featured black hands covering the Lemonade singer’s body, revealing glimpses of skin through sparkly sheer fabric.
Anderson, collaborating with stylist Shiona Turini, explained that he drew inspiration from the “escapist joy” of the Renaissance period.
The Tour Will Take Beyonce Across Two Continents
While this marks Beyonce’s first solo tour in seven years, she still has a long way to go.
The Renaissance tour includes stops in:
- Belgium
- Poland
- France
- Spain
- The Netherlands

- Germany
After Europe, the tour will cross the ocean for the North American leg, commencing on July 8th in Toronto.
Stateside fans can look forward to the first Renaissance show at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field on July 12th.
The Queen Bey will continue to grace cities like Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Houston, and Detroit, among others, before wrapping up at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Renaissance, initially released in July 2022, is one of Beyoncé’s most critically acclaimed works.
This masterpiece added another glorious chapter to her illustrious career, culminating in several wins at the 2023 Grammy Awards.
The album secured the Best Dance/Electronic Album award, making Beyonce the first Black woman to claim the trophy in that category.
Furthermore, tracks like “Break My Soul,” “Plastic Off the Sofa,” and “Cuff It” were recognized with Grammy wins for Best Dance/Electronic Recording, Best Traditional R&B Performance, and Best R&B Song, respectively.

Fans, eagerly awaiting visuals from this groundbreaking project, have been treated to teasers since the release of Renaissance.
To address the absence of full videos, the performer delivered a regal message during her Stockholm performance.
“Aww, you mad? Well, there’s no remedy for that, bi**hes. I know you hear me. You’ve asked for the visuals. You’ve called for the queen. But a queen moves at her own pace, bi**h. Decides when she wants to give you a f**king taste. So get your fork and your spoon if you got one.”
The singer’s Renaissance tour is an unmissable, and it promises to be a feast for the senses.
