All hail Queen Beyoncé, who just served up a cluster of awe-inspiring looks that will remain burned in our minds for quite some time. The superstar kicked off her Renaissance World Tour at Friends Arena in Stockholm on Wednesday, taking her on-stage style to new heights.
The Grammy Award-winning artist set the stage alight wearing custom Alexander McQueen, Loewe, Mugler, and archival Givenchy. Just like her seventh studio album, the singer sent shockwaves through her fanbase as she stepped out in a series of crystal-clad outfits sourced from the most exclusive brands across the globe.
The night began with a disco-ready Alexander McQueen catsuit that boasted a sculptural sweetheart neckline, long sleeves, alien-esque hip panels, eighties shoulder pads, a charcoal and silver color scheme, a mesh base, and an iridescent all-over beaded finish with striped accents.

In terms of beauty, her makeup look offered up the mother of glamour glows, which consisted of a flawless complexion, a silvery smoky eye, and a rosy lip.
