Let there Bey light.
This week, Beyoncé kicked off her Renaissance World Tour in Stockholm, Sweden, and fans went wild for her multiple costume changes throughout the 37-song setlist.
Perhaps essentially the most show-stopping look, though, was a white bell-sleeved Anrealage coat that, when exposed to UV light that slowly moved down her body, became a kaleidoscope of colours.
After the coat’s transformation, the singer cooly took it off to disclose a pearl-embellished Balmain bodysuit underneath.
Social media observers went wild for the futuristic fashion, hailing her as “the queen of AI” and “BeyoncéGPT” — in a nod to ChatGPT.
But there was no artificial intelligence involved within the high-tech stage hijinks.
Moderately, it gave the impression to be the handwork of Tokyo-based Anrealage designer Kunihiko Morinaga, who wowed fashionistas at Paris Fashion Week in March by making similar fashion magic.
There, Morinaga integrated his light-dependent polychromic technology into faux fur, velvet, lace, knits, jacquards and satins, based on Vogue.
For the clothes, he reportedly uses photosensitive fabrics and materials that change color when exposed to UV rays and direct sunlight — bathing once colorless togs right into a sea of vibrant patterns and colours.
Once the photochromatic areas aren’t any longer exposed to UV rays, the ensembles return to their original color after about three minutes — allowing Beyoncé to remove the holographic-seeming coat before the colours faded away.
Representatives for Anrealage didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment about its reported work with Beyoncé.
The luminescent look was one among 9 costume changes Beyonce made throughout the night — all of them playing on light and color.
Her other stop-and-stare ‘matches included an optical illusion Loewe catsuit that made it appear that hands were covering her body; an iridescent bodysuit with an identical biker jacket and detachable skirt by Georgian-born designer David Koma; and a yellow-and-black striped Mugler number that she paired with an antennae headpiece in a tip to her #BeyHive fan base.
