Is this a concert or a fashion show? LOLz!
We’ve already seen Beyonce in her first custom outfit from the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, and we know she’s having something special made for her by DSquared2, but now Emilio Pucci is also getting a spotlight on that stage!
Peter Dundas, the creative director of the Italian brand, has designed some custom numbers for Bey to shake her assets in!
Dundas’s five creations include an embellished black leotard, a flamboyantly feathered peacock-print top (above), and a seksi coat-dress.
The designer talked about working with Queen Bey, saying:
“Doing Beyonc├â┬⌐’s costumes makes a designer want to run home and sketch. She is one of the sweetest stars to work with. She knows what she wants and what will work for her, but she respects creativity. I thought she looked incredible in the costumes, but it’s difficult to mess things up with her. She’s one of those girls who look even more beautiful without make-up.”
Though he took inspiration from his A/W 2013 collection, Dundas also tweaked the looks to fit Bey’s aesthetic. He explained:
“She liked the Pucci girl look and vibe of the last show, but we made unique couture versions to make it extra special and also to suit her needs as a dancer. Doing stage costumes is a little different than a show – it’s like a high voltage version of the runway. For certain tableaux, there were specific needs in terms of colour and, of course, she has to be able to change in 59 seconds. That’s even less than a quick change in a runway show.”
Only 59 seconds to change??? That’s CRAY!
But, obvi, if anybody can pull it off, it’s the incomparable Mrs. Carter!
Check out the rest of the sketches in the gallery (below)!
