What to Wear to the Beyoncé Renaissance Tour Movie

At long last, Beyoncé’s Renaissance Tour movie is hitting theaters! So it’s time to dream up your best Renaissance-inspired outfit ideas—because those who didn’t get a chance to see the tour IRL (ahem, me) are going to be pulling out all the stops.

If you’re wondering what to wear to the Renaissance Tour movie, the answer is simple: something extra AF. Based on the outfits fans wore to Barbie and the Taylor Swift Eras Tour movie, our fashion trend analysts at Firstfinds predict the BeyHive will be going all out. So, let your inner ~alien superstar~ run wild and put together a look you’ll never forget. I mean, why not rhinestones and sequins to the movie theater? Or better yet, a disco ball cowboy hat?

While “it should cost a billion to look this good,” it doesn’t have to—and the list below proves that. To ensure you feel your concert fantasy without considerable financial damage, (you’ll need money for Renaissance merch, after all!) I’ve consulted Cosmo staffers who attended her shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.

Keep scrolling for outfit ideas inspired by Queen B’s latest album and the lewks seen both onstage and off throughout the tour—because a once-in-a-lifetime movie deserves a once-in-a-lifetime outfit.

Although dressing as an alien superstar may be the obvious choice, that doesn’t make it any less jaw-dropping when executed to perfection at your local AMC. For an out-of-this-world concert movie outfit, lean into metallic fabrics that mirror the silver Courreges bodysuit, Marine Serre catsuit and holographic David Koma mini dress Bey wore on-stage during the tour. And absolutely, “do not attempt to leave the dance floor” (read: the movie theater) until multiple outfit pics have been taken.

“If you’re in a pinch to put your outfit together last-minute, Beyonce’s official Amazon merch is the way to go,” advises Senior Commerce Editor Heath Owens, who wore one of Beyonce’s affordable Amazon tees to the New Jersey show. “Style it with a sequined statement piece or platform boots, and you’re golden. And tbh, it’s just as cute as the tour merch that was available on-site!”


TikTok says that a tricked-out cowboy hat—like the disco-ball-inspired one Bey wore on the Renaissance album cover—is a must-have for any BeyHive member. Like feather boas and Harry Styles fans, these crystal-embellished and feather-trimmed cowboy hats will be synonymous with the BeyHive by the time the film leaves theaters. Whether it’s an affordable Amazon find or a custom Etsy piece from Beyoncé’s hatmaker, grab yours and giddyup for the best movie of your life! There’s even a DIY kit available on Amazon, so your movie squad can make your own.

This is a friendly reminder that you’re headed to a movie theater where the lights will be off, not an actual concert venue, so there’s no shame in prioritizing comfort. A Beyoncé hoodie or Renaissance Tour sweatpants will keep you COZY through the entire film.

Whether you’re one of the “bad bitches to the left” or the “money bitches to the right,” you can’t go wrong with a curve-skimming catsuit or workout onesie. Though these body-con jumpsuits don’t come with the price tag of Beyoncé’s custom Loewe couture, their sexy silhouettes will make you feel like just as much of a pop star. And, you’ll be amazed at how comfortable you feel.

Designed with futuristic materials and functional silhouettes, glitzy cowboy boots are the ideal complement to any Renaissance Tour movie outfit, especially if you’re looking to show off your dance moves while the credits roll. “There were tons of people at the concert embracing the disco cowboy energy embodied by the majestic horse on the Renaissance album cover,” says Assistant News Editor Sam Olson. “I saw a sea of silver sequins, and there were lots of vests, chaps and cowboy hats with rhinestone tassels and blinged-out details.”

It may not be the diamonds or pearls that make you that girl, but these embellished outfits will earn you tons of compliments. “Since Renaissance was announced, it has been synonymous with chrome, silver, glitter, and sparkles. Beyoncé herself even called it her ‘house of chrome’ during one of the tour interludes,” shares TikTok comedian and Beyoncé stan Steven Morea. “People came to the stadium decked out in anything reflective: skirts, hats, belts, accessories, you name it.”

In the final lines of the album, Beyoncé infamously puts her Birkins in storage and opts for a more affordably-priced, queer-owned Telfar bag. Even if you don’t have a five-figure Hermès bag to ditch, you can still follow Bey’s lead and complete your outfit with a Black-owned handbag brand like Brandon Blackwood or Homage Year. And unlike most stadiums, movie theaters don’t require clear bags.
