On Sunday night, ITV1 aired Beyonce Knowles’ first ever TV special, ‘A Night With Beyonce’, which was recorded earlier this year before she announced she was pregnant.
The energetic singer dazzled in two custom Ralph & Russo looks which were encrusted with Swarovski elements.
Ralph & Russo used over 50,000 Swarovski elements for both looks.
The first was a daring nude mesh bodysuit covered in smoke-blue Swarovski crystals. The second, a dramatic red leather flared skirt with a bronze metallic cut-out corset, also embellished with thousands of crystals, was just as breathtaking.
It wasn’t only her ensembles that sparkled as she added silver glitter Stuart Weitzman pumps.
Designers Tamara Ralph and Michael Russo of Ralph & Russo said: “Both outfits were designed especially with Swarovski Elements to help create a fun, edgy feel for her show.”
The superstar performed some of her greatest and best-known hits, as well as tracks from her latest album, ‘4’.
What the full-hour special below.

How to Achieve the Classic Blowout
Most people have very strong feelings about Queen Bey one way or the other but one thing that can never be denied is that you will get your money’s worth at a Beyonce concert. They’re larger than life, fabulous costumes and lots of energy.
The bodysuit is fierce and I love the bustier and skirt.
Also the all girl band is just awesome.
Awesome stage looks, Bey knows how to work them.
the body suit is tacky and horrible.
Wow
The white dress with fringe and with heavy gold embellishments is Fausto Puglisi right. ADR has worn that dress in every color but white. Nice to see someone else in the dress.
I love her live shows. She always puts 100% in her performances
I haven’t seen all of it yet
Yeah she wore the Fausto Puglisi in her InStyle September 2011 spread! Really gorgeous and also covered in Swarovski Crystals
The perfect stage looks.
Ia, especially that bodysuit.
In that bodysuit she looked- well Fierce.
I was dancing around my living room wishing I was as flexible as her.
FC, any idea who made the white gown she was wearing when she sang “At Last”? I feel like I’ve seen it on the runway, but I can’t remember who designed it…
I haven’t seen it yet. I’m going to try to watch the whole show if I have time this weekend
This is a pic of the dress that she was wearing during At Last.

Other nuggets…
-The Fausto Puglisi dress she wore for this performance is not the same one she wore in Instyle magazine. That dress was yellow.
-She was actually just over 3 months pregnant when they filmed this last July.
Yes it very much looks like McQueen
So where is the baby bump? Just asking?
As I said in the post, this was recorded before was pregnant
She is absolutely phenomenal!! If there is anyone that can pull off a bodysuit it is definitely Beyonce. my favourite was the corset and red skirt!! amazing performance!!
