Beyoncé's Fiercest Concert Costumes

You may say it's the beat or the choreography, but frankly, we think it's the clothes. From her rainbow-colored fringed knits, to sultry, sequined one-pieces, Beyonce's scorching haute costumes are every bit as entertaining as her classic hits. Check out some of our faves from her performances across the globe...

07

09

10
Costume Ball

If it aint broke – duplicate it! Here, Beyonce wears a black version of the amazing yellow knit tunic for her ‘Good Morning America’ concert in July 2011.

11
Costume Ball

We’re huge fans of the thick fringes which line the bottom of the costume.

12
Costume Ball

Remember this one? Bey blew our minds with this cage-like, metal construction at the Billboard Music Awards in May 2011.

13
Curves Ahead

Bey takes her bow with the lights on and we see how intricate – and sexy – this gown truly is. Extra points for her favorite flesh toned fishnets.

14
Costume Ball

Here, Beyonce keeps the fringes – but loses the hot pants – for her performance at the Palais Nikaïa in Nice in June 2011.

15
Costume Ball

A closer look and we’re convinced: Bey’s fringes add as much drama to her performance as her blond tresses.

16
Costume Ball

Notice one of Beyonce’s favorite deets in her performance attire: an asymmetrical hemline as seen on this haute pink mini.

17
Costume Ball

Sweet, sparkly, sequined pumps are the cherry on top of Bey’s concert costume.

18
Costume Ball

Bey shimmy and shakes in her standard sequins and short, short combo. But the most important accessory? The wind machine off stage.

19
Costume Ball

This time instead of pumps, Beyonce opts for strappy sandals – and her traditional flesh-toned fishnet tights.

20
Costume Ball

Beyonce surprises Oprah – and an entire Chicago audience – when she steps out in this Tuxedo style stunner to perform her latest hit, ‘Run The World (Girls)’

21
Costume Ball

We love the pop of color Beyonce’s red, patent pumps add to her concert ensemble.

22
Costume Ball

The assymetrical hemline and beaded necklace and bow tie add drama to the details of this concert ensemble.

23
Costume Ball

Beyonce serves sparkle and style in with this high waist hot pant and sequined jacket ensemble.

24
Costume Ball

What we love best about this look? The bold belt buckle which adds a touch of sass to this sultry look.

25
Costume Ball

Its not just sequins, shorts and fishnets! Beyonce shows a softer side in this breathtaking pleated gown with a plunging neckline.
