Beyoncé’s long-awaited “Renaissance” album delivers not only the soul-stirring music she’s known for, but also the striking imagery she’s come to master. Styled by Marni Senofonte and KJ Moody, the album photo shoot serves up plenty of editorial inspiration. In one shot, Beyoncé wears a sheer lace turtleneck maxi mermaid dress in vivid green, covered in leaf motifs and flaring out into a furry fishtail. In another, the “Break My Soul” singer looks just as ravishing in a black sweetheart-neckline eyelet catsuit, complete with matching gloves and finished with an avant-garde headpiece and large cream furry boots. And of course, there’s the official cover, where she dazzles in a crystal bikini.
Beyoncé is keeping that same crystal-bikini motif going months later, debuting another image atop a horse to announce her “Renaissance” 2023 tour. In the photo, shared on Instagram on Feb. 1, the superstar is seen adjusting a cowboy hat that perfectly matches her horse, both items covered in the same mirrored surface as a disco ball. The “Virgo’s Groove” singer poses in a bikini covered in sparkling gems, accessorizing with dangling earrings and silver-fringe knee boots. The caption reads, “RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR 2023,” to the delight of her many fans across the globe.
Beyoncé’s traditional album rollout was full of standout style moments. In the July 2022 issue of British Vogue, the “Crazy in Love” singer rode a horse in a regal head-to-toe Alaïa look, comprising a black velvet gown, gloves and a striking feathered headpiece by Harris Reed and Vivienne Lake. A pair of platform knee-high boots from Reed’s first “H-Boots” collection rounded out the ensemble.
For the cover story, she also posed in a shimmery gold Schiaparelli jacket matched with galaxy drop earrings and a long Junya Watanabe leather coat with Commando vinyl leggings and Harris Reed platform boots. Together with her personal stylist, Senofonte, and British Vogue’s editor in chief, Edward Enninful, Beyoncé conveyed that her “Renaissance” era would raise the bar, with never-before-seen fashion and beauty moments.
A couple weeks later, her viral album cover doubled down on that message. The image presented her perched atop another horse — this time, a holographic one — while clad in a silver helix-shaped bodysuit, complete with spiked detailing, nipple pasties and crystal embellishments on the chest. Paired with liquid silver heels and long honey-colored waves, the image caused quite the sensation.
