To perform “Im That Girl”, Beyoncé wore a silver corseted bodysuit that resembled armor designed by Balmain’s Olivier Rousteing. The Parisian house describes her silver plated bodysuit—which she paired with thigh high boots—as “robo couture”. Balmain has been very involved in the Renaissance world, as Rousteing, Beyoncé, and her stylist Marni Senofonte previously collaborated on a 17 piece special collection. “I can’t help but be thrilled by the history making aspects of this collaboration,” Rousteing told Vogue at the time about working with the star. “This appears to be the first time that a Black woman has overseen the couture offering from an historic Parisian house. And those designs were created in partnership with the first Black man to ever oversee all the collections at an historic Parisian house. Let’s hope those two firsts help inspire plenty of others.”
This coming week will mark the official start of summer—though Hollywood stars are already dressing the part. On the red carpets this week, A listers have been putting fresh twists on summery fashion staples be it floral prints, miniskirts, or strapless silhouettes. Instead of appearing ready for a day at the beach, however, these celebrities have elevated seasonal essentials and made them feel both evening and party ready. The best ensembles this week were those that leaned into an effortless and easy breezy vibe. (It’s the summer spirit, after all.) At the premiere of Asteroid City in New York, Scarlett Johansson looked to a crisp white Carolina Herrera dress that featured a halter neck and floral embellishments. It was prim and proper, yet totally unfussy. Same goes for the Alaïa shirtdress that Jennifer Lawrence wore for a No Hard Feelings photo call in Madrid the actor elevated the summer essential with a thick leather belt and muled heels.
