It is a truth universally acknowledged that if an artist like Beyonc\u00e9 is embarking on a \u2018world tour\u2019, the ‘world’ includes only Europe and North America\u2014never India, where even that one Coldplay concert has lost its novelty. However, there is a way for those of us back home to still feel connected to a live performance happening thousands of miles away: the clothes. More specifically, the clothes on Beyonc\u00e9’s Renaissance tour. The singer just wore a Gaurav Gupta look in Atlanta, Georgia, in what’s turning out to be a long-term, cross-cultural collaboration between the two. Gupta\u2019s forte has always been his swirling structures and statuesque drapes\u2014an art he perfected during his \u2018Hiranyagarbha\u2019 AW 23\/24 show at Paris Couture week. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s look was straight from the runway: she wore the Neon Green Athena Saree, a hooded, asymmetric structure that draped and flowed down from the midriff. She styled it simply, with neon green heels and a silver wrist cuff.<\/p>\n

When Beyonc\u00e9 wore the saree at her Atlanta show, Gupta made an ecstatic announcement, his second in two days: \u201cI have always been fascinated and enamoured by the history of the saree and the more than 600 different ways it is traditionally draped in India. We, at Gaurav Gupta, are deeply inspired by this almost mythological tradition of drape and have tried to interpret and innovate with it in our own sculptural ways. Eternally grateful to Hema of Maison Bose for creating magic as always\u201d. Hema Bose, who facilitated the collaboration, made a similar announcement, stressing that the look \u201cmarks a significant relevance of cultural appreciation of India’s traditional design\u201d. Looking at a Gaurav Gupta piece is like looking at an ancient Greek sculpture in its stately and untouchable glory\u2014which makes it perfect for Beyonc\u00e9, who is just as untouchable in her might and power.\n<\/p><\/div>\n
