Beyoncé Turns Her Paris Concert Into A Couture Catwalk

The Beyoncé-fication of high fashion continues! Music's queen has already used the past month to preview the Gucci x Dapper Dancollaboration, release a capsule collection with Balmain, and take over the Louvre in full catwalk looks, but for the Paris leg of the On the Run II tour, she took her love of clothing even further. The artist finished her set at Saint-Denis's Stade de France in the breathtaking closing look from Valentino's recent autumn/winter 2018 couture show.


With its voluminous taffeta ruffles, lengthy train and zesty tangerine colour, the gown felt worlds away from the barely there outfits Beyoncé has favoured throughout the tour, but the change in style proved meaningful. Studded short shorts and sequined fringe might be ideal for performing dance tracks, but when it came time for ballads like "Resentment," Pierpaolo Piccioli's design provided the perfect complement to Beyoncé's powerful vocals.
