A weekday trip to the cinema is typically a low-key affair. But with Friday afternoon came the first showing of Beyoncé’s Renaissance film. Encouraged by the star herself, fans – commonly known as the Beyhive – wore outfits featuring silver (the signature colour of the tour), cowboy hats and concert merch. Following in the footsteps those who watched Barbie and Taylor Swift’s Eras film, they were the latest set of fans this year to head to the cinema dressed up to the nines.
Oscar Parker, a 17-year-old student, wore a silver puffer jacket and matching trousers, while Aoife O’Brien – less of a superfan – wore a cowboy hat, tracksuit trousers and a corset “in support” of her friend. Parker said he liked the “sense of community when everyone’s dressing up”.
