This week, Beyonce took over the stage for the first stop of her “Mrs. Carter Show World Tour” in Serbia, and her jaw-dropping outfit got people talking… What we did not know is how much work went into nipples protruding dress which Beyonce rocked. According to The Blonds who collaborated on the suit, the making of one-piece took over 600 hours and 30,000 Swarovski crystals…
They told Fashionista:
We proposed several different options and this was the one that won. Beyonce exudes confidence, glamour and sensuality, so, we created something that would express all of those things in every way. Our original inspiration came from Tamara de Lempicka’s paintings of the female body. To start, Phillipe hand painted the suit on Beyonce to achieve the correct shading. The piece was then hand embroidered with approximately 30,000 Swarovski crystals that took over 600 hours to apply. It was a close collaboration with Beyonce, Tina Knowles and her stylist, Ty Hunter, to finish what would become one of the most glamorous and provocative looks she’s ever worn. It is also meant to give the illusion of being covered in crystallized honey. It’s a couture look that would not only be stunning, but, also reflect her personality and the music from this segment of the Mrs. Carter Tour. They again added… She’s the ultimate performer and it’s electrifying to experience her live in concert because she connects with the audience in a way that’s pure. Like a mix of Diana Ross’s glamour and Tina Turner’s passion.
