The superstar put local designers center stage for her invite-only show at the Atlantis the Royal hotel.
With a stage perched on the tip of Palm Jumeriah—the famous 17-fronded palm tree-shaped island in Dubai—the setting for Beyoncé’s show at Atlantis the Royal hotel last night was spectacular to begin with. The invite-only crowd included the likes of Kendall Jenner,actor Letitia Wright, and several members of the star’s family, among them her husband Jay-Z, her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson, her father Matthew Knowles, and five-year-old twins, Rumi and Sir.
Fireworks lit up the bay as the superstar emerged wearing a halo-like lucite headpiece and singing Etta James’s “At Last,” a song she memorably performed at President Obama’s inauguration in 2015. She then segued from a triumphant performance of “Halo,” arguably her most rousing power ballad, to a flawless rendition of “Ave Maria.” Behind her, 48 members of the all-female Dubai-based orchestra Firdaus were dressed in red sequins and glittering tiaras.
The first look—a lemon-yellow floor-length gown encrusted with tiny shiny acrylic shards from the waist down—was the work of Omani designer Mousa Al Awfi. Her Dubai-based, mother-daughter owned eveningwear label, Atelier Zuhara, is known for its intricate craftwork, including a signature mosaic appliqué which combines laser cutting and handwork. The dress came finished with a dramatic Marabou feather-studded train that flared out around the superstar’s shoulders much like wings.
She invited her daughter Blue Ivy to perform with her for the first time with a duet of “Brown Skin Girl.” Dressed in a playful glittering red sequin jumpsuit designed by her grandmother Knowles-Lawson and Timothy White, Ivy showed no signs of stage fright, her adorable waist-length braids swinging as she danced in chunky platform sneakers. “Give it up for my baby, my brown skin girl, Miss Blue Ivy Carter,” Beyoncé said, introducing her 11 year old to the audience.
Beyoncé changed tack for the finale by tapping the Ukrainian designer Ivan Frolov.
