Like many Beyoncé fans, I spent a lot of time thinking about what I’d wear to the Renaissance World Tour, the artist’s first solo tour in seven years. And, on July 29 at MetLife Stadium, the effort paid off when Queen Bey exclaimed from the stage, “I want to say thank you for all your beautiful outfits. It’s my favorite thing to see.”
The crowd around me was dotted with sequins and metallics, disco ball cowboy hats dripping with crystal beads, and micro-bags small enough to hold a phone and two tubes of lipgloss (the essentials). Fans paid homage to the Renaissance album’s sparkling house beats with glittering outfits (and comfortable shoes) to dance for the entirety of the nearly three-hour-long concert.
The Grammy winner, who turns 42 on September 4, asked fans attending her upcoming concerts to wear “your most fabulous silver fashions” in celebration of her birthday and Virgo season. “We’ll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night,” Bey said in her Instagram story.
Finding an outfit that’s glamorous enough to impress the Bey Hive while still feeling “comfortable in my skin” meant hours of online shopping and research — which, as a shopping writer at PEOPLE, is basically my job. I opted for a lightweight, sheer dress layered with a crystal-netted top.
On the night of the show, as I sang along to “Formation” and yelled my way through the “Heated” outro, I also took note of the fabulous outfits in the crowd. The two biggest trends I spotted were metallic silver tops and denim bottoms — both easy to recreate with affordable pieces.
To make your life easier, I rounded up everything you’ll need for a killer Beyoncé concert outfit, no matter the weather. Keep scrolling to shop comfortable platform sneakers, metallic tops, sequin dresses, translucent rain ponchos, and more Beyoncé concert outfit ideas inspired by celebrities, influencers, and fans who went to the Renaissance tour. We even found the jersey that Blue Ivy Carter wore on stage — and it’s only $20.
Finding an outfit for Beyonce’s Renaissance Tour is also the perfect reason to take advantage of Labor Day sales happening this weekend. We found some sparkling styles that are deeply discounted right now, but hurry — most of these sales will be over by Monday.

If you’re planning to dance all night long, then take a tip from Oprah, who attended the Beyoncé concert on July 30 at MetLife Stadium with her bestie Gayle, and throw on a comfortable blouse and jeans. We’re currently eyeing this one from Target, which has a cute oversized fit. It’s made from soft cotton, which helps keep you cool if it’s hot when the show starts and keeps you cozy when the sun goes down at night.
Another way to be comfortable and still stand out at any concert is with an eye-catching body suit, like this affordable style from Amazon. One customer called it the “perfect concert top” and said it kept them “comfortable for 10 hours.” It comes in a variety of sheer and sparkly styles, and it’s on sale for just $26 right now.
Bey’s jaw-dropping stage looks might change from show to show, but holographic elements have stayed a consistent theme in her ‘fits. This holographic bodysuit is totally on-theme, and fits like a stretchy one-piece bathing suit. Best of all, it costs just under $30 (and we’re planning to rewear it for a fitness Barbie Halloween costume!)
If you’re trying to channel Blue Ivy’s fierce dance moves, then you can pick up the oversized New York T-shirt that she wore onstage at the MetLife Stadium show. Layer it over a denim skirt and throw on a holographic hat to complete your stage-worthy outfit.
Looking like an “alien superstar” is shockingly easy with the right dress. Plus, a breezy dress can help keep you cool while you dance. The Lyaner Mesh Long Sleeve Dress is made from a breathable, stretchy mesh and comes with a comfy black tank top and shorts to wear under. The dress is covered with sparkling constellations, which sets the vibe for an out-of-this-world concert look (and feels on-theme for Virgo season).
To really nail Beyonce’s silver outfit decree, consider this sparkling midi dress from Amazon while it’s 63 percent off. The swingy fit would pair perfectly with a pair of shiny cowboy boots, and you could even throw a cropped jean jacket over your shoulders if the night gets chilly.
A Beyoncé concert is the perfect opportunity to be as extra as you want and bring out the color, sparkles, and attitude. This sparkly, tasseled dress reminds me of the bright green one worn by a fan named Nyah I saw at the MetLife Stadium show. Her outfit immediately stuck out to me thanks to its unique texture and movement. If you’re trying to channel Bey’s “Cozy” outfit, then a bright pink set, like this one from Lulu’s, is a stylish and comfortable option.
Some of Beyoncé’s most iconic looks have featured denim pants, including the cover art for her 2003 solo album Dangerously in Love. Denim skirts are currently trending, so I’ve got my eye on this light-wash maxi skirt from Abercrombie. It has a stylish criss-cross waistband and a front slit that gives you room to dance freely to “Dangerously in Love.” Plus, it’s currently 15 percent off during Abercrombie’s Long Weekend Sale.
Another piece that we’re coveting is this adorable cargo mini skirt that would pair perfectly with cowboy boots. Plus, you can get it for $14 less than its typical price right now.
Of all the outfits I saw in the crowd at the Renaissance show, fan Jennifer Patrone’s silver pants stood out from the rest for their flattering cut and eye-catching shine. I found a similar pair of low rise metallic jeans at Macy’s, and they’re $50 off right now. If high rise is more your style, then check out these flattering straight-cut jeans from H&M that are under $40.
Comfortable footwear is the key to dancing all night long — and what could be more comfortable than a pair of Crocs? This sparkly silver pair keeps with the silver theme and provides that classic Croc comfort you know and love.
If you’re on the hunt for a pair of classic, comfortable sneakers that will go with any outfit, then the Cariuma Oca low-tops will check all the boxes. The breathable sneakers are often worn by celebrities, including Ashton Kutcher and John Hamm. And, if you’re worried that sneakers won’t be dressy enough for the occasion, rest assured that even Helen Mirren prioritized comfort and wore a pair of Cariuma sneakers to the Cannes Film Festival in 2021. If they’re nice enough for Cannes, they’re nice enough for us!
Cowboy boots are having a major style moment, and now’s the perfect time to snag yourself a pair and take advantage of the Labor Day sales. We’re adding these versatile white western booties to cart while they’re discounted by $14 off their usual price during Nordstrom’s Summer Sale.
Of course, a dazzling Beyoncé concert outfit is not complete without the right accessories. Let the Renaissance cover art inspire you and grab a glitzy cowboy hat to top off your ‘fit. This shade-shifting hat from Amazon comes in nine different holographic colors to channel your inner Alien Superstar. And, best of all, it’s just $20.
Rain or shine, Queen Bey knows how to put on a fantastic show (she even performed during a downpour at her Maryland show), so if it looks likely to rain for your show, a translucent poncho like this one from Amazon can keep you dry and still allows your fabulous outfit shine through.
Before you head to the concert venue, remember to check your arena’s rules about what you can and can’t bring inside. Many venues don’t allow bags over a certain size unless the bag is clear, so grabbing a see-through fanny pack, like this one from Amazon, can save you time in the security line, and it allows you to hold your phone, keys, and wallet hands-free during the show.
The internet-famous Lululemon Belt Bag now comes in an adorable mini version, which is the perfect size for a phone and keys. You can clip the bag around your waist or across your body while you dance and then take it anywhere you go post-concert. Plus, it’s less than $40 and comes in eight colors. The original-sized Belt Bag is also a great choice if you’re looking to take a few more things along with you, and it costs the same as the mini.
Riding the train back to New York City from Metlife Stadium in New Jersey, I was surrounded by fellow fans glittering with rhinestones and sweat. It was clear that we were all still reeling from the once-in-a-lifetime performance we’d just witnessed. The artistry and pride that fans put into their looks is one of the factors that make the show special. If you have a chance to catch the tour, be sure to find an outfit that brings that “Kodak energy.”
