At long last, Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour is stateside! So if you’re among the lucky few who scored tickets, it’s time to dream up your Beyoncé concert outfit ideas—because those of us who still don’t have tickets (ahem, me) are counting on you to pull out all the stops when she hits your city. A once-in-a-lifetime concert deserves a once-in-a-lifetime outfit.
If you’re wondering what to wear to the Renaissance Tour, the answer is simple: something extra AF. Let your inner ~alien superstar~ run wild and put together a look you’ll never forget. I mean, why not rock a cutout dress or catsuit? Or better yet, a crystal fringe headpiece or a disco ball cowboy hat, like Bey herself?
While “it should cost a billion to look this good,” it doesn’t have to—and the list below proves that. To ensure you stand out among the crowd without going broke, (you’ll need money for Renaissance merch after all!) I’ve consulted with Cosmo staffers who attended her shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Keep scrolling for rhinestones, sequins, and statement pieces inspired by Queen B’s latest album and the lewks seen both onstage and off throughout the tour.

Telfar Small Shopping Bag
MANGO Metallic Bodysuit
Although dressing as an alien superstar may be the obvious choice, that doesn’t make it any less jaw-dropping when executed to perfection in a skin-tight bodysuit or iridescent statement piece. For an out-of-this-world concert outfit, lean into metallic fabrics that mirror the silver Courreges bodysuit, Marine Serre catsuit and holographic David Koma mini dress Bey’s worn on-stage. And absolutely, “do not attempt to leave the dance floor” until multiple outfit pics have been taken.

“If you’re in a pinch to put your outfit together last-minute, the Amazon merch is the way to go,” advises Senior Commerce Editor Heath Owens, who wore one of Beyonce’s affordable Amazon tees to the New Jersey show. “Style it with a sequined statement piece or platform boots, and you’re golden. And tbh, it’s just as cute as the tour merch that’s available on-site!”

It may not be the diamonds or pearls that make you that girl, but these rhinestone-covered statement pieces will earn you tons of compliments in the Club Renaissance section. “Since Renaissance was announced, it has been synonymous with chrome, silver, glitter, and sparkles. Beyoncé herself even calls it her ‘house of chrome’ during one of the tour interludes,” shares TikTok comedian and Beyoncé stan Steven Morea. “People came to the stadium decked out in anything reflective: skirts, hats, belts, accessories, you name it.”

In the final lines of the album, Beyoncé infamously puts her Birkins in storage and opts for a more affordably-priced, queer-owned Telfar bag. Even if you don’t have a five-figure Hermès bag to ditch, you can still follow Bey’s lead and complete your outfit with a Black-owned handbag brand like Brandon Blackwood or Homage Year. Just be sure to double-check that the stadium you’ll be attending doesn’t require clear bags.
