After making its grand debut at the Official Tennessee Volunteers Thanksgiving Success Recipe T-Shirt Additionally,I will love this Cannes Film Festival, Wes Anderson’s new film Asteroid City made its New York City premiere last night—and the star studded cast came out for the red carpet affair. A listers such as Margot Robbie, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks, and Scarlett Johansson all made a cameo on the glitzy step and repeat. But the night’s most head turning fashion moment came courtesy of Maya Hawke, who chose an unexpected accessory for her look A bejeweled swim cap. Hawke wore Prada’s black sequined dress with a square neckline and wide pleated skirt—but it was her embellished headwear that really made the look. Instead of a traditional chapeau, the fitted cap had her looking ready for a dip in the pool—yet she somehow totally pulled it off. Its shimmering treatment made the accessory feel elevated, and it added a dash of whimsy to her otherwise streamlined ensemble.

At this point, Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour is part concert, part extended exercise in seeing just how many custom looks one pop star can commission and pack. Queen Bey has upended the typical stadium show model and turned it into an ever changing format full of surprises and new looks. Nearly every tour stop so far—there are 51 dates on the books in total, as of right now—has featured a new never been seen look designed by some of the biggest names in contemporary fashion. Off White, Balmain, Brandon Blackwood, and on and on. What you may not have noticed, however, is that Bey often honors the country she’s in by wearing a designer who calls that nation home Jacquemus for Marseille, France (the designer’s hometown) Alexander McQueen, David Koma, Robert Wun, and Stella McCartney for the singer’s five night residency in London custom Fendi in Barcelona that featured designs pulled from Spanish artist Antonio Lopez.

The full throated amplification of international voices feels even more poignant in a post COVID landscape. Only a mere few years ago, such a large scale world tour, bringing together thousands of people, was hard to imagine happening again.
