Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour: Northern Ireland designer Jonathan Anderson creates some of iconic singer's outfits

A Northern Ireland designer has created some of Beyoncé's outfits for her ongoing world tour.

Co Derry man Jonathan Anderson established his brand JW Anderson in 2008 and is also creative director of Spanish luxury house, Loewe.

Beyoncé has been wearing the custom looks by designer Loewe during her Renaissance Tour. These include a striking jumpsuit and also a silver bodysuit.

In an Instagram post on Sunday sharing a video of the iconic singer wearing the jumpsuit, 38-year-old Jonathan said: "This happened in the real..."

He then thanked Beyoncé, costume designer Shiona Turini, and the Loewe team.

And stylist Shiona Turini previously posted on May 18: "When the Queen come thru part like the Red Sea. @beyonce in custom @loewe for the Renaissance World Tour, styled by me.

"So much love and gratitude to @jonathan.anderson @tylerjxckson and the entire Loewe team who helped make this magic happen. [video camera emoji] @davemalave."

The Loewe website says: "LOEWE on the Renaissance world tour. Inspired by the escapist joy of Beyoncé’s seventh studio album Renaissance, LOEWE creative director Jonathan Anderson has created a series of stage looks for the iconic singer that play on sculptural forms, trompe l'oeil and body illusion for her highly anticipated world tour."

It adds: "Handcrafted in Paris and Barcelona. The bespoke pieces have been created by the artisans at LOEWE’s ateliers in France and Spain, showcasing the house’s storied craftsmanship. Working in collaboration with costume designer Shiona Turini, the looks blend futuristic concepts with theatrical, disco-era aesthetics; robots and machines meet high shine crystals, latex and 3D printed leather pieces.

"The surrealist hand motifs from LOEWE’s FW22 runway are remixed onto bodysuits, and a colour palette of chrome, silver, black, white, grey is contrasted with bold reds and golds."

Jonathan's dad Willie Anderson tweeted on Monday: "Unreal and fantastic. Beyonce wearing one of Jonathan Anderson’s Loewe designs in London last evening. Very proud. Mum&Dadxxxx."

Also this year, Jonathan Anderson worked with Rihanna to bring her "flight-inspired" Super Bowl look to life.
