London, you’ve been legendary. Six sold out nights. Six monumental shows. Beyoncé closed out her run in the UK with pure power, grace, and a standing ovation that lasted a full minute. It was a moment that felt like the entire stadium paused to give her her flowers.
This night was full of shifts. There was no Mute Challenge, and for the first time this leg, she walked herself back in Levi’s jeans instead of being carried. The twins returned to the stage, bringing back that full-circle family presence. And while “Energy” stayed off the setlist, the energy itself was unmatched.
The fashion was on fire. Beyoncé stunned in:
• A fierce custom Stella McCartney look with a soaring black bird across her chest
• A latex flame fantasy by Poster Girl’s Natasha Somerville and Francesca Capper
• A shimmering lavender corset gown by Vivienne Westwood
• Ferragamo by Maximilian Davis, sleek, elegant, and modern Western
• A heartstring-tugging nod to legacy: Tina Turner’s 1993 tour shirt
• A new 16 Carriages ensemble that had the whole stadium gasping
The night opened with a full Renaissance throwback, blending her eras seamlessly and reminding us that Beyoncé doesn’t just tour. She curates time.
Spotted in the crowd: Jay Z and the team, Kelly Rowland, Angie Beyince, Pitbull, and designers Natasha Somerville and Francesca Capper. A star-studded salute to a star’s final London bow.
Next up is Paris for Juneteenth. Could the twins take the stage on the 19th? If there were ever a time for THEY SONGGGG to rise, it’s now.
