Roksanda IlinÄiÄ discovered her dress would be Beyoncé’s billowing blue opening look on the London leg of her Renaissance Tour just after the 40,000-strong audience did. “The loudest crowd so far” screamed from every corner of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and blasted it over social media.
“It was a very, very big surprise,” IlinÄiÄ says, still elated the day after Monday’s night concert; the first of five shows in the capital. “The looks were all submitted before the tour started, and then it’s up to the team and Beyoncé herself to decide what is worn when. We actually didn’t know when the moment was going to happen.”
