Ferragamo
Created by the Ferragamo‘s creative director Maximilian Davis, the singer’s red outfit featured all-over embroidered with beads, crystals and a high-thigh slit. She coordinated the bold red number with silver arm cuffs.
Beyoncé later switched to another custom look by the Italian brand: a silver lamé jersey draped minidress with scarf detailing, along with matching gloves and thigh-high boots in silver stretch nappa.
Davis, who assumed the role just last year, wrote in a statement: “It was an honor to create this looks for Beyoncé and be a part of her creative process. I wanted to design pieces that felt like they inhabited her spirit and style.”
Ivy Park
Beyoncé even debuted custom looks from her own brand, Ivy Park, during the show, wearing a pink sequin high-slit gown with a crisscross halter neckline.
“I started designing this collection over a year ago. I was so engulfed in all things RENAISSANCE and was inspired by Studio 54, Bob Mackie and the disco era,” part of Beyoncé’s caption read on Sunday regarding the soon-to-be released Ivy Park swim collection.
Feben
Looking to Black female fashion designer Feben, who has curated looks for Emily Ratajkowski and Ashley Graham, Beyoncé wore a sculpted catsuit with boot pants attached. The form-fit look featured studded detail throughout and warped red, gray, yellow and black colors.
Balmain
While performing her song “I’m That Girl,” Beyoncé channeled a robotic aesthetic with a high-fashion twist, wearing a custom silver-armored Balmain bodysuit by the brand’s creative director Oliver Rousteing.
Earlier this year, Beyoncé collaborated with Rousteing on the “Renaissance Couture Collection,” which included looks inspired by the “Renaissance” album, one for each song to be exact.
LaQuan Smith
One of Beyoncé’s final looks was a custom LaQuan Smith shattered glass catsuit, which featured a plunging neckline and mosaic-themed glass placement throughout. She coordinated with custom heels by Malone Souliers. Styled by K.J. Moody and Vance Gamble, Beyoncé also wore LaQuan Smith for her Tiffany & Co. campaign in 2022.
