“Beyoncé wore the Heliosphere dress on this day in 2023. Designed by Iris van Herpen for the Renaissance World Tour. Created by a team of 12 artisans over nearly 700 hours, the design incorporates 980 silver silicon elements, each hand-sewn onto illusion tulle, embellished with Swarovski crystals. The components are supported by a transparent PETG structure that rises in a radiant halo around Beyoncé’s face. The look is completed by a voluminous glass-organza cape adorned with mirrored appliqués that echo the dress’ sculptural forms.
