Her club ready couture not only looks spectacular, each custom piece has been made with Beyoncé’s three hour set—and frequent outfit changes—in mind. Comfort and function were top of mind for Sandra Choi, creative director at Jimmy Choo, when she was tasked with creating 41 bespoke pairs of shoes for the Renaissance tour. “We’re there as a supporting act,” Choi tells Vogue. “Our team was a part that she needed to trust—to provide her with security and finesse.” “We hear they fit like a glove!” Choi says of the silver Jimmy Choo pumps Beyoncé can be seen wearing on stage in Paris. Having supplied the superstar with shoes for events, album visuals and magazine shoots for nearly two decades (Queen B wore Jimmy Choo on the cover of British Vogue’s December 2020 issue), this time the brand needed to provide footwear that not only looked fabulous, but could hold up through the intense choreography. Choi reveals that heel heights were a particularly important consideration, and she researched styles Beyoncé had previously worn on stage, as well as adding boning in the bespoke boots—“like a corset”—to ensure they stay in place and feel extra secure. Though Choi is yet to meet Mrs Carter herself, she worked closely with the singer’s team, who provided precise measurements, preferred color palettes and specific requests (she was asked to create something that “really sparkled” in line with the disco ball heavy Renaissance theme, for example). “It’s fashion based, but I had to think about the functionality of it,” she explains of the process. “There’s lots of things we did especially for Beyoncé, to make sure that the footwear works for her on stage.”
