Heads Up: Beyoncé Wore 6 Striking Outfits Last Night
Beyoncé headed to South Africa to support a cause close to her
heart: the Global Citizen Festival, which honored the 100th
anniversary of Nelson Mandela’s birth and raised money for a
slew of different charities. Beyoncé wore six different
outfits for her performance, each as jaw-dropping as the next.
But as we’ve come to expect from Queen Bey, there was much more
to the looks than meets the eye. Mary Katranzou created a symbolic
outfit consisting of a bodysuit, over-the-knee boots, and coat.
“Her coat has the 54 countries of Africa mapped out and on each
country, there is a different embroidery representing its
diversity,” Katranzou wrote on
Instagram.
Beyoncé’s mom, Tina Knowles, also took the opportunity to
revisit the story behind what Beyoncé wore when she met Mandela
back in 2004. “We decided two hours before the finale with Mr.
Mandela, that she should have an authentic African fabric dress,”
Knowles wrote. “Ty Hunter and me ran to the local market found this
fabric fought traffic and drove back.” Knowles went on to explain
that she created the look in just 45 minutes and it miraculously
fit. How’s that for a behind-the-scenes story? Scroll down to see
everything she wore to the Global Citizen Festival and revisit her
2004 look.
