And the greatest accessory of the night? Undoubtedly the giant, Studio 54 esque sequined horse Beyoncé flew around on for the show’s epic finale. Though, the spring 1997 Mugler inspired antennae she wore with a custom Casey Cadwallader designed bodysuit was a close second. There were also subtle but extravagantly opulent touches.

Kevin Mazur/Getty ImagesOverall, the tour feels like a fabulous embodiment of the techno and ballroom infused sound of Renaissance, which Beyoncé has described as an ode to dance music and queer culture. They also continue the singer’s streak of ostentatiously avant garde couture fashion for the album’s innovative visual campaigns. A teaser for “I’m That Girl,” which runs a little under two minutes, featured a chaotic flurry of over a dozen custom looks by Schiaparelli, Balenciaga, and others. Beyoncé is well and truly in her fashion girl era. Of course, Beyoncé loves to tinker with her looks throughout the course of a tour—sometimes wearing an outfit solely for one performance in a city. So it is very likely that there is a lot more great fashion to come our way between now and the tour’s conclusion in New Orleans on September 27. Stay tuned—we certainly will be.
The stars shone brightly in Miami for the city’s inaugural Formula 1 Grand Prix race yesterday—Barack Obama, Michael Jordan, Venus and Serena Williams, Karlie Kloss, Bad Bunny, Pharrell, Hailee Steinfeld, and Tom Brady, to name just a few—but for die hard F1 fans (okay, and maybe a few late converts via Netflix’s hit Drive to Survive series), the real action was above the Mercedes AMG Petronas garage. Seven time world champion Sir Lewis Hamilton and his teammate George Russell, along with the team’s legendary principal, Toto Wolff, visited the Ritz Carlton’s Silver Arrows Lounge after qualifying and before the race itself to discuss team strategy and offer their thoughts on everything from the track layout and conditions (“rubbish” was Russell’s frank opinion of the latter) to the recent difficulties the team has had with their car. (In short After years of dominating Formula 1, Mercedes Petronas has been plagued this season by a new car with a range of technical issues, and Hamilton in particular has found himself in an odd position fighting for middle–of the pack points instead of podium finishes.)
