Beyoncé is the moment.
The superstar premiered her concert film Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé on Saturday night at Los Angeles’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater, creating suspense around both the event and her dazzling outfit in the process.
The 29-time Grammy winner sent her guests invitations containing only the time and dress code (“cozy opulence”) for the evening, withholding the location of the screening until just 24 hours before it took place, according to Variety.
Queen Bey’s arrival on the chrome carpet was as highly anticipated as the film itself—but it never happened. The “Alien Superstar” skipped her grand entrance, instead opting for something lower-key. She slipped into the theater just before the lights dimmed with husband Jay-Z and daughters Blue Ivy, 11, and Rumi, six.
Thanks to Donatella Versace, however, the world was able to see Beyoncé’s stunning embodiment of cozy opulence.
The star posed in a jaw-dropping head-to-toe metallic silver ensemble composed of a custom Versace figure-hugging strapless gown, latex opera gloves by Vex, and strappy open-toe heels. She further accented the look with silver statement earrings, a metallic smoky eye, and a nude lip. Channeling her inner Targaryen, she went platinum blonde, with her long locks cascading down her back.
“The goal for this tour was to create a place where everyone is free and no one is judged,” Beyoncé says in the film’s October 2 trailer. “Start over, start fresh, create the new. That’s what the Renaissance is about.”
The film chronicled Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour, which started on May 10 in Stockholm and ended October 1 in Kansas City, Missouri, welcoming 2.7 million fans over that time. The movie is set to officially open in the United States, Canada, and Mexico on December 1.
