Beyoncé is changing the game once again. She has a launched an Renaissance inspired collection with Balmain.
As spotted on Hype Beast the Houston, Texas icon is leveling up her fashion game in a major way. This week she announced a new capsule that captures the essence of each song on her critically acclaimed seventh studio album. To bring it to life Olivier Rousteing worked with the singer for over six months to bring the concepts to life.
In a statement regarding their vision the French creative made it clear this is a historic occasion. “This appears to be the first time that a Black woman has overseen the couture offering from an historic Parisian house” he explained. “And those designs were created in partnership with the first Black man to ever oversee all the collections at an historic Parisian house. Let’s hope those two firsts help inspire plenty of others. Besides, I am sure that once in the house’s archives, these Renaissance Couture Collection designs are destined to inspire generations of future Balmain designers.”
The collection features an array of different looks and feels with a goal of being the wearable equivalent of each of Beyoncé’s song. For “Energy” they crafted a very intricate a Macrame gown made from a mix of multiple premium fabrics with Bodice embroidered black-dyed pheasant feathers. For the “Break My Soul” look they curated a shiny black velvet hooded dress that is paired with a 3D-printed bustier.
In an Instagram post Beyoncé shared her gratitude to not only the Balmain staff, Olivier Rousteing and Vogue Magazine for bringing the idea to life. You can see the collection below.

It was a history-making night for Beyoncé at the 65th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night.
Beyoncé’s husband, JAY-Z, once rapped, “tell the Grammy’s fuck that 0 for eight shit,” but that feeling was swept under the rug as the couple returned to the awards show to see if Queen Bey could walk away a big winner.
The Houston native arrived fashionably late and took home four awards for her critically acclaimed album Renaissance. Earlier in the broadcast, her viral hit “Cuff It” won Best R&B Song while she was stuck in traffic. Her collaborators on the song, The-Dream, and Niles Rogers were on hand to accept the award on her behalf.
Beyoncé Was Thankful
Beyonce’s latest project also won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album award. The lead single, “Break My Soul,” won Best Dance/Electronic Recording, and “Plastic Off the Sofa” won Best Traditional R&B performance, cementing her as the greatest winner of all time at the Grammys.
“I am trying not to be too emotional, and I am trying to just receive this night,” she said while fighting tears.
“I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you God. I’d like to thank my uncle Johnny, who is not here but he’s here in spirit,” of course her parents got love too, “I’d like to thank my parents — my father, my mother — for loving me and pushing me,” she said during her speech.
“I’d like to thank my beautiful husband and my beautiful three children,” was the punctuation on her acceptance speech.
But she didn’t take home two of the night’s biggest honors. Song of The Year went to Lizzo’s retail store anthem, “About Damn Time,” and dedicated her win to the late legend Prince. She also gave Beyoncé her flowers during her speech.
Album of The Year, which always seems to elude Queen Bey, landed on Harry Style’s lap for his album “Harry’s House.” Of course, the BeyHive, who was happy for their queen making history, felt she was more deserving of Album of The Year.
Other Notable Grammy Moments
Other moments we care to talk about include Kendrick Lamar winning three Grammy Awards for his album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. He received the Rap Album award from Cardi B and, in his acceptance speech, thanked his family for giving him “courage and vulnerability” to share his truth on the album. He said his latest project was tough to make, and he “found imperfection.”
Lamar also won Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for his song “The Heart Part 5.”
23-year-old Bronx Native Jazz singer Samara Joy took home Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album.

Ring the alarm. The world’s worst-kept secret is now official. Beyoncé is taking Club Renaissance on a trip around the globe, bringing it to a stadium near you.
It’s happening. It’s finally happening. There was only one way the Beyhive would forgive Beyoncé for still not dropping the Renaissance visuals, and that was with the announcement of those tour dates.
Wednesday, the big news arrived with just one photo of the Houston artist in all of her curvy glory on top of a silver horse with the caption “RENAISSANCEㅤ ㅤWORLD TOUR 2023.”
The Beyhive already knew their queen was back in tour mode following her impressive yet controversial performance in Dubai, and we’re just eagerly awaiting word of when they need to put in for time off to release their jobs, release their minds, and stress.
Dates for her massive world tour, where she will finally perform tracks off her Renaissance album she gave to the world five months ago, are now live on her website.
In hopes of keeping tickets out of the hands of scalpers and bots, verified-fan preregistration for North American tour dates is now open.
The madness will begin on February 6 when tickets go on sale, with Beyhive members getting first dibs and Citi cardmembers and VerizonUp members being able to ensure they are in the building through a presale.
Club Renaissance officially opens in Europe, kicking off May 10 in Stockholm. The tour will eventually find its way into North America on July 8 with two shows in Toronto.
