She’s the celebrity’s celebrity, with A-listers like Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian and Timothée Chalamet spending their summers fangirling at Beyoncé’s Renaissance tour. Of course, she's a once-in-a-generation artist, so last night’s world premiere of her concert movie, “Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé”, at the Samuel Goldwyn Theatre in Beverly Hills, was certainly no different.
A testament to the singer’s star power, the who's who of Hollywood turned out for the highly anticipated movie.
After single-handedly trendsetting the disco cowgirl trend (for better or for worse), the megastar opted for an on-brand chrome carpet and a “cosy opulence” dress code. This meant an array of glamorous, glitzy, disco-ready gowns — including a slinky, silver Versace gown that was cinched to every curve of Beyoncé’s body. Paired with ice-white, ultra-straight blonde hair and matching latex silver gloves. As Donatella Versace commented on Instagram, “You’re one of one, the only one,” — referencing the musician’s much-captioned line from “I’m That Girl”.
Also nailing the brief were former bandmates Kelly Rowland, who wowed in a sparkling silver, cone-shaped bra gown, and Michelle Williams, who sported an avant-garde, futuristic black bodysuit with an exaggerated neckline. While protégé Halle Bailey chose a shaggy, black faux fur coat dress that she elevated with a glimmering pair of diamante boots.
Once inside, travel-size samples of Beyoncé’s perfume, Cé Noir, were popped into silver envelopes and placed on attendees' seats. They were also treated to popcorn served in metallic Renaissance buckets while enjoying the three-hour extravaganza, which documented Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” from May 10 in Stockholm, Sweden, to October 1 in Kansa City, Missouri. The film will be released in cinemas worldwide on December 1, but in the meantime check out more of the best dressed stars at the world premiere last night...
