Beyonce’ Coachella Wardrobe is Breaking The Internet – Literally!

By satisfashionug | April 15, 2018

This year’s coachella turned into ‘Beychella’ because Beyonce was headlining the festival, the first woman of colour to do so. And, headlining she did! The singer put on the performance to end all performances. She had to invite her Destiny Child sisters to join her on this iconic ‘slayage’.

Her wardrobe is already causing a stir on the internet. According to Vogue, the looks were custom made by Balmain creative director Olivier Rousteing. “Marni told me that the shows were all about survivors and that B was looking for something in a military style,” Rousteing says. “Our silhouettes and our sort of Mad Max, futuristic take on military looks for Fall were a perfect fit.”

“But, of course, Queen Bey was not about to wear something that was going to be mass-produced, so Rousting went to work with Senofonte and the rest of Beyoncé’s team to create two custom Balmain stage wardrobes, one for each of her performances tonight and next Saturday night. Rousteing also dressed the 200-some dancers on stage, as well as Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, who will reunite with Beyoncé for a Destiny’s Child throwback moment. Rousteing only had a few weeks to pull it all together, spending sleepless nights and long days creating the Egyptian-inspired gold-and-black cape with intricate embellishments; as well as a hologram-fabric black jacket and bodysuit; a collegiate-style embellished yellow hoodie with “BAE” written on the front; a camouflage and mesh minidress; and a top decorated with a 2018 Beyoncé crest that shows a bee, a raised fist, a panther, and an Egyptian goddess.” Vogue reports.
