Beyonce Mrs Carter World Tour Ralph Russo Bodysuit
Glamour was present at Beyoncé’s Belgrade show, where pearls, pearls, and more pearls garnished a custom-made Ralph & Russo bodysuit. The “Halo” songstress looked positively angelic as she opened the world tour in the all-white number. The ribbed one-piece, which featured military shoulders and layers of beads and sequins, looked both elegant and bold with it’s sharp tailoring.

Beyonce Mrs Carter World Tour Givenchy Bodysuit
Beyoncé’s custom-made long sleeved Givenchy bodysuit and cat-eared cap had her looking ready for world domination. The daring getup was one of her edgier stage ensembles with its abundance of black sequins. It wasn’t easy to pull our eyes away from the dancing diva’s nails, which were painted in a pastel shade of blue in honour of her baby girl Blue Ivy.

Beyonce Mrs Carter World Tour Kenzo Bodysuit
Beyoncé enlisted Humberto Leon and Carol Lim of Kenzo for her most colourful one-piece ensemble, which she unveiled at her Paris show. The duo chose a playful turquoise and coral red print from their Spring ’13 line to incorporate into the pin-up style bodysuit. The look, which featured a bustier and flared shorts, is perhaps the most wearable costume for us regular folk, but fabulous nonetheless.

Beyonce Mrs Carter World Tour David Koma Bodysuit
Beyoncé called upon another fashionable friend, London-based designer David Koma, for this black and gold bodysuit. A leather collar, cuffs and full leather skirt add edge to the more feminine leotard. Golden French Horn prints running down the front of the piece pay homage to the reoccurring Marie Antoinette theme in the tour’s widely praised video art. The covetable black leather booties were custom designed by Stuart Weitzman, who was responsible for all of Queen Bey’s shoes on the tour.
5/5
Beyonce Mrs Carter World Tour Pucci Minidress
Beyoncé’s Pucci leopard-print fringed bodysuit stole hearts at her Houston show. The look was one of five designed by Peter Dundas for the Mrs. Carter tour. “She is one of the sweetest stars to work with. She knows what she wants and what will work for her…” Dundas told Vogue. And work it does. Beyoncé dazzles in the playful neon number, which has us thinking about bright animal print in a whole new way.
Beyoncé’s “The Mrs. Carter Show” world tour has reached its halfway point, and with this milestone we’re looking back on some of the megastar’s most major fashion moments from her first 61 performances (44 to go!). As expected, the singer’s tour fashions have garnered just about as much attention as her performances have. A slew of privileged designers saw that the Beyoncé was outfitted in headline-worthy ensembles, and boy did they succeed. A particular golden armour-like one-piece by The Blonds had jaws dropping, as did a sexy midnight blue catsuit by Vrettos Vrettakos.
From Beyoncé’s diversified tour wardrobe one thing is clear: the woman loves her bodysuits. The mom-of-one’s been rocking these itty-bitty high-fashion leotards on stages everywhere from Belgrade to London to the Air Canada Centre right here in Toronto. With Pucci’s Peter Dundas and Gucci’s Frida Gianni among those in the musical icon’s design team, the glittering, feather-clad, pearl-adorned bodysuits are fit for, well, a queen. We’re reminiscing over some of our favourite bootylicious bodysuits worn by the legendary Mrs. Carter so far.
