For the past year, Beyoncé has captivated fans with breathtaking fashion moments from her latest project, Renaissance. The album is a nod to disco and house of the late 80s and 90s paying homage to the works of a number of creatives.
While the anticipated visual album has left many feeling whetted, the star released a collaboration with Parisian designer Olivier Rousteing of Balmain in celebration of each song from the album. This has now been followed by the first day of her tour that took place in Switzerland.
While she may be famed for her live performances, the Crazy in Love singer has also been known for her meticulous eye when it comes to set pieces and costumes. Here's a look at some of the fashion she pulled from new and old designers she has collaborated with.

For ardent fans of the performer, her two Mugler pieces will come as no surprise as she has always been known to work with the late founder of the fashion house.
Her choices for the Formation Tour featured the iconic “robot suit” that debuted in 1995 as well as a yellow and black bee corset that was a clear nod to her fans, the Beyhive.
Usually incorporating some sort of technological advancement, Beyoncé chose Anrealage as her cyber-showstopper. The design house recently released a collection of clothing featuring colour-changing fabric. All in the name of celebrating diversity and variety.
