Beyoncé Wore 8 Different Leotards During Her Epic Made in America Performance
Beyoncé is back. Not that she ever really went anywhere — she covered the September issue of Vogue (major!); went vegan (and asked her devotees to give it a try, too); and attended the Met Gala in an incomparable (OK, maybe Jennifer Lopez and Kim Kardashian gave her a run for her money) Givenchy naked dress — she just hasn’t really said much. But on Sunday, the Queen could be heard loud and clear as she performed at the 2015 Budweiser Made in America Festival.
Held at the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia, Penn., the artist not only sang hits such as “7/11″ and “Drunk in Love” from her most recent surprise album, Beyoncé, but also dipped into the Destiny’s Child archive with "Jumpin’ Jumpin” and “Say My Name,” as well as some her own including “Halo” and “Run the World (Girls).” Appropriately, she changed her outfit to match the song, and in total wore eight different ensembles. From a James Harden jersey transformed into a leotard to a sequin-covered bodysuit, Beyoncé was, in a word, flawless.
1. Beyoncé in a custom Hervé Leger by Max Azria nude bodysuit and red patent leather boots.
2. Beyoncé in red lace lingerie with nude fishnet stockings.
3. Beyoncé in a sequin bodysuit with a black belt and thigh-high patent leather boots.
4. In a nod to Philadelphia and their hometown Basketball team, Beyoncé wore a long-sleeved sequin Sixers jersey with high black boots.
5. Custom made for her by Alexander Wang, the designer took a Houston Rockets jersey and transformed it into a red, black, and white leotard. Wearing James Harden’s number 13, he approved of the ensemble and tweeted, “Bey got too much swagger in that jersey!! @beyonce #MadeinAmerica #H-Tiinnnneeeee.”
6. Beyoncé might be in basic black but that does not make her a basic betch. Right, Lauren Conrad? The custom bodysuit was made for her by Tom Ford.
7. Beyoncé in an oversized fishnet leotard with matching nude tights and black boots.
8. Her only non-onesie look of the night, she covered up a crystal-embellished piece with a red wrap top with a floor-sweeping train.
