Hey! This is my last post for a while. How unfortunate. (Well, give it a week) I wanted to celebrate the tickets for the Renaissance Film coming out and this is what I did! Because we have had over 100 looks that have graced our eyes and we don’t know what could be coming to us in the film, I decided to look at each chapter of the show and look at the best and worst looks (with some honourable mentions of course)
Chapter 1: Opening Act
There are a bevy of looks because Beyonce began switching these looks early on. I really loved a lot of these looks but if we HAVE to chose about it. Don’t be mad
Best: Gaurav Gupta
Worst: Georges Hobeika
Honourable Mention(s): Marc Jacobs
I know I know. I kept it to 3 because I would keep adding. The green Gaurav Gupta number is just sublime. It’s so beautiful and classic and masterful. You can argue with yourself. The Marc Jacobs look WITH THE KIKI BOOTS inspired by his latest collection was incroyable. We all know this Georges Hobeika was a CHOICE.
Chapter 2: Welcome to the Renaissance
I think what’s important is that this is really all about chrome because it’s her house of chrome. There are some
Best: Lou de Betoly
Worst: Boss
Honourable Mention(s): Courregé
Look Boss made the most hideous look. I can’t forgive them for that one. The Lou de Betoly was SO FUCKING DELICIOUS OMG. The recycled phones and chargers and cords. Was INCROYABLE. I obviously need to shoutout the look that started it all.
Chapter 3: Break my Soul
So many fucking options because my theory is that this part of the show is the most important but I am getting ahead of myself.
Best: Pucci
Worst: Marni
Honourable Mention(s): Versace and Self Portrait
Pucci was not who I expected. Like there are SO MANY of the outfits that could’ve made it but I thought PUCCI was the superstar with the prints. I also want to give Versace a shout out because that Barococo print just hit. (Ba-ROCK Act 2?) Marni, I am so sorry sweetie, that wasn’t it. Like EW and I could’ve put Gucci here if you weren’t so rotten.
Chapter 4: Church Girl
Best: Gucci
Worst: Givenchy
Honourable Mention(s): Gaurauv Gupta and Agent Provocateur
I don’t know that other brand that you might bring up as one of the worst. I refuse to acknowledge them. The gucci was just OPPULENT (and actually could’ve been a feature in the final section. Also, the Agent Provocateur was delicious.
Chapter 5: Blue Ivy and Co
Best: Off-White
Worst: Marine Serre
Honourable Mention(s): Telfar and Gareth Pugh
Okay, we all agree, the Off-White is taking it? Cool. I really wanted to highlight the Gareth Pugh because it is a reference to the Diva Music Video where she wears this Gareth Pugh look that is so ICONIC. It really tickled my fancy.
Chapter 6: Heated by the Sofa in love
Best: Loewe Gold +
Worst: Feben
Honourable Mention(s): Loewe Silver + and Loewe Red +
That Loewe catsuit will FOREVER BE FAMOUS. No notes.
Shame, poor Feben was set up. I want to see the other 400 costumes she could’ve chosen from instead of her. It was a set up.
Chapter 7: Justice for Thique (ha ha)
Well, I actually do not know what I am going to say for this because there were actually, not that many options
Best: Roberto Cavalli
Worst: Loewe Gold +
Honourable Mention(s): Loewe Red
I thought it was a little lazy for her not to change for this section. That’s the only reason otherwise, literally no misses. Hot girl shit. I wish I could insert a sound bit of me singing the riff here because WOA-OH-OH-OH-OH-OAAAHH
Chapter 8: America has a Problem
Bzz Bzz bitch. I think there is really only one thing to say for this because it really gagged the girls and she knew it so that’s why she kept wearing it.
Best: Mugler
Worst: Nicolas Jebran
Honourable Mention: Balmain Bee Catsuit.
I don’t know why the Balmain catsuit got so much hate. I really enjoyed it. Obviously the Mugler costume is the best because a) “swarm on these hands nigga” b) it’s LEATHER c) it’s iconic duh because Pure/Honey. Nicolas Jebran honey, that was NOT it.
Chapter 9: I love you deep deep deep
Which costume made beyoncé look great while flying above the audience? I don’t know but the ridiculous comments made by her whilst suspended in air are honestly wild. From, “Justice for Thique (ha ha),” to “Say my name Say my NAAAAAAME,” it was honestly just chaos.
Best: Coperni
Worst: Del Core
Honourable Mention(s): Alexander McQueen
I feel like the custom look inspired by the AW16 look was more appropriate here? anyway, I also really love the coat. Del Core was a BIG miss here like why you gotta make her look like busty mbube. I think the Coperni look shouldn’t have been retired because it was SO good. The texture was fun.
