Beyoncé takes centre stage in one of Jonathan Anderson's creations.
A County Derry designer created two bodysuits for Beyoncé on her latest world tour.
Jonathan Anderson, from Magherafelt, created designs for the global superstar who is known for sporting a variety of incredible looks on stage.
For the Renaissance world tour her wardrobe includes bodysuits from LOEWE, the company Jonathan leads as creative director.
The designs were explained in a statement on the Design House Loewe website.
"Inspired by the escapist joy of Beyoncé's seventh studio album Renaissance, LOEWE creative director Jonathan Anderson has created a series of stage looks for the iconic singer that play on sculptural forms, trompe l'oeil and body illusion for her highly anticipated world tour," it said.
"Handcrafted in Paris and Barcelona. The bespoke pieces have been created by the artisans at LOEWE's ateliers in France and Spain, showcasing the house's storied craftsmanship.”
One design was a collaboration with costume designer Shiona Turini and ‘blends futuristic concepts with theatrical, disco-era aesthetics’ as well as ‘robots and machines meet high shine crystals, latex and 3D printed leather pieces’.
Beyoncé sang her song Drunk in Love while wearing the outfit, which was complemented by a pair of black gloves with red nails that matched the hands printed on the bodysuit.
The other was a collaboration with Alexander McQueen with silver beads and crystal embroidery.
"The surrealist hand motifs from LOEWE's FW22 runway are remixed onto bodysuits, and a colour palette of chrome, silver, black, white, grey is contrasted with bold reds and golds," the statement added.
Jonathan's father Willie Anderson tweeted after seeing his son's designs outfits on stage.
"Unreal and fantastic. Beyonce wearing one of Jonathan Anderson's Loewe designs in London last evening. Very proud. Mum&Dadxxxx," he wrote.
The outfits will not make an appearance in Ireland however as Beyoncé did not book a date here on her world tour.
Jonathan shared an Instagram post of Beyoncé wearing the jumpsuit saying 'This happened in the real’ and thanked Beyoncé, Shiona Turini and the LOEWE team.
