Plus: a guide to the perfect drink and snack pairing and term-time family holidays
| | | Queen Bey is back at it. On tour, that is. For the first time since 2016, she’s stepping back onto the world stage – and she’s doing it clad in an exceedingly glamorous succession of couture creations, from a disco-esque Valentino drape dress encrusted with 390,000 crystal rhinestones, to her opening outfit: a custom silver bodysuit from Britain’s own Alexander McQueen. Call it Bey in shining armour.
Beyoncé is serving looks while singing her certified-platinum songs, and as Tamara Abraham writes, it’s pure theatre. For the backstory on the painstaking labour that went into each of her designs – there’s one which took the Mugler team nearly 900 hours to create, without even knowing if she would wear it – scroll down.
Elsewhere, check out our guide to the perfect drink and snack pairing, and weigh in on whether or not you think parents should take their kids out of school to save money on a family holiday.
