During her set, Beyoncé wowed in a series of elaborate designer outfits that complimented each portion of the show.
The mom of three kicked off the evening in an Alexander McQueen fall 2023 look, perVogue, before she transitioned into a silver bodysuit that featured a circular cutout across her torso.
Beyoncé then donned other glamorous looks through the night, including a pearl-embellished Balmain bodysuit, a dress that changed color thanks to a UV light, and another bodysuit that featured hands with red nail polish placed strategically around her body.
Beyoncé couldn’t help but tease fans during the show too, hinting that her Queen status is the reason why the long-awaited visuals for herRenaissancealbum, which came out last July, haven’t been released yet.
Right before performing her 2016 hit “Formation,” Beyoncé stood onstage with her backup dancers in tow, as a voice read aloud quotes that flashed on screen behind her.
“I know you hear me,” the voice began. “You’ve asked for the visuals. You’ve called for the queen. But a queen moves at her own pace. Bitch.”
Then adding that Beyoncé “decides when she wants to give you a f—ing taste” of the visual components, the voice concluded, “So get your fork and your spoon if you got one.”
