Beyoncé just began the European leg of "The Mrs. Carter Tour" and she completely changed up her costumes, courtesy of Donatella Versace, Riccardo Tisci and Vrettos Vrettakos. This week she has been releasing the exclusive sketches of her sparkly duds via Tumblr, showing how the concepts began. And you can see how the sketches were altered before the final product was made.
The first sketch she released was the Givenchy plaid shirt, embellished with black rhinestones, and leather booty shorts. And while her sparkly blue jumpsuit, the one she sang "Halo" in, didn't make the European tour, B replaced it with a very similar Vrettos Vrettakos polka-dot jumpsuit.
Versace designed the bulk of her costumes, including a sparkly white and silver mini dress, a cut-a-way mesh dress topped with Swarovski crystals and a leather racer-back top, and a white/silver crystal bustier with a matching jacket.
From the sketch of the jacket, we can see Donatella wanted it to say "Bitches Bow Down," but Beyoncé opted to leave off the "Bitches." While it would have been more badass, it pretty much goes without saying.
