This ain’t Texas…it’s a world tour, baby. Beyoncé is currently halfway through her rollicking Cowboy Carter show and, to the delight of jewellery lovers everywhere, there has been no shortage of fabulously bejewelled stage outfits so far. Here, we round up some of our favourite gem-studded pieces that Queen Bey has sported across the continents.
L’Enchanteur’s custom sherrif’s badge
Brooklyn-based twin sisters Dynasty and Soull Ogun are the creative maestros behind lifestyle and jewellery brand L’Enchanteur, which they founded in 2017. Since then, their soulful and iconographic designs have been spotted on a host of A-list clients, including Erykah Badu, Jay-Z, Lauren Hill, Missy Elliot, Mary J Blige, Quest Love and, of course, Beyoncé – who selected pieces by the pair for her groundbreaking visual album, Black is King, in 2020.
Last year, L’Enchanteur scooped the coveted CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund prize, which consists of $300,000 and a mentorship with an industry professional to help grow their brand and partnered with none other than Angelina Jolie on a jewellery line for her socially-conscious fashion boutique, Atelier Jolie.
So far this year, the label has been responsible for some amazing Met Gala jewellery looks – crafting natty jewels for the likes of Whoopi Goldberg and Tracee Ellis Ross for their red carpet appearances and have just furnished Beyoncé with yet more standout pieces for her Cowboy Carter Tour. These include a giant custom sherrif’s badge, which the singer debuted on the Paris leg of her tour, and a fabulous horseshoe motif bolo tie, which was spotted on stage with her in London.
Bibi Van Der Velden’s diamond alligator earrings
Dutch designer Bibi van der Velden has furnished Queen Bey with a pair of diamond alligator earrings for her current tour, which the jeweller described as “a moment we really celebrated as a team.”
“If someone asked me to name a real super star for them, I mean, Beyoncé has to be it,” she exclusively told us at Something About Rocks. “She’s one of the few people I could name who really does do it all. She’s a powerhouse performer, a mother, a creative, and she uses her voice to stand up for female empowerment. It was fabulous to see our jewellery on her. It was a moment we really celebrated as a team – it’s a fun recognition of everything we’ve been trying to achieve for the past 20 years.”
Tiffany & Co.’s custom gold sunglasses
For her standout show at the Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Tiffany & Co announced it had created a pair of custom sunglasses adorned in gold and diamonds with dark grey lenses. Later, for the singer’s run of shows at London, the New York jeweller also crafted a pair of Elsa Peretti’s signature snake earrings in yellow gold (yours for £9,300). She also belted out her latest hits in Paris wearing Elsa Peretti’s oversized High Tide earrings, again in yellow gold.
Bey and Tiffany go way back – the singer and her husband have fronted holiday campaigns for the jewellery brand, and the company was an official sponsor for her last world tour, Renaissance, in 2023.
Brilliant Earth’s diamond bolo tie
For one of her sellout Cowboy Carter shows in Los Angeles, Beyoncé sported a one-of-a-kind 18k recycled gold bolo tie by Brilliant Earth, set with an eye-catching 14.46 carat black diamond (seen beneath a crowned bee motif, in honour of her name) plus over 1,000 other accent diamonds – worth roughly $95,000. The multi-hyphenate has drawn heavily from traditional Western style and culture for her latest album, leading to a raft of incredible, country-spiked jewels on this tour.
Lorraine Schwartz’s diamond bolo necklace
For the latest leg of her Cowboy Carter tour in Paris, Beyoncé once again adorned herself in an astonishing diamond suite from her long-time collaborator, Lorraine Schwartz. The same sinuous bolo tie, bearing oversized diamond drops, had featured at Bey’s very first three-hour show earlier this year at the SoFi stadium in Inglewood, when the singer wore it during a rendition of her song ‘Blackbird‘.
