Beyoncé’s love for Middle Eastern designers goes back many years.
From her plunging gold gown by Elie Saab she wore to the 2007 Golden Globes to the extravagant pink Ashi Studio gown she wore in 2018 to the exquisite lioness piece by Lebanese couturier Georges Hobeika, Queen Bey’s penchant for Arab labels is crystal clear.
And if you didn’t know it before, then it’s been cemented throughout her Renaissance World Tour, wearing a variety of custom pieces by Arab designers.
Here, GRAZIA highlights the very best looks the singer has worn by Arab designers whilst Queen Bey continually wows sold-out stadiums around the globe night after night.
Elie Saab
During the beginning of her Renaissance World tour, Beyonce opted to wear a custom piece by Lebanese couturier Elie Saab. Taking to the stage in Warsaw, Poland in June, the singer wore a tasselled mini dressed with impeccable crystallised detailing.
Georges Hobeika
Lebanese couturier Georges Hobeika is just that talented that Beyonce has worn not one, but two custom pieces during her world tour so far.
The first was a stunning crystallised catsuit by the designer. She wore it whilst taking to the stage in Cologne, Germany.
Then, just a few weeks ago, the singer adorned the designer once again whilst perfomring in New Jersey, USA. Beyonce wore a pink tulle dress, featuring shimmering crystals, paired with an incredible beaded headpiece, which was completed with 3D embroidered flowers.
Nicholas Jebran
When performing in St Louis, Missouri, Queen Bey made a statement in a bright yellow crystalised bodysuit and boots, all designed by Lebanese designer Nicolas Jebran. “More than 200 hours of craftsmanship were put into this creation…,” the designer said. “An adaptive outfit to reflect the star’s energy and leadership!”
It’s not the first time Beyoncé has been seen in a piece by Jebran this year. For her spectacular performance – her first in five years – in Dubai at the Atlantis The Royal back in January, the Grammy Award winner wore a gold and red gown by the couturier.
Amina Muaddi
The accolades of beloved Beyoncé designers aren’t just reserved for couturiers. Throughout her world tour, the singer has been wearing a number of pieces by Jordanian-Romanian shoe designer Amina Muaddi.
