As of May 2023, Beyoncé (and her eldest daughter, Blue) have been making their way across the world, performing her iconic Renaissance album for adoring fans — and will continue to tour through October of this year, too.

For nearly three hours most nights — and through rain-filled storms — Bey is all but singing her heart out and hitting intricate choreography alongside each word, with quick outfit changes that feature an eye-catching body harness, a full-on bumble bee moment, and a few disco ball-inspired couture pieces for good measure.

Fans of the album will likely know that chromatic silvers and glistening metallic hues are a major marker of the Renaissance era. And being that it’s officially Virgo SZN (which is Beyoncé’s zodiac sign), the icon has taken to Instagram to ask a tiny favor of her tour-bound fans.

In a now-expired Instagram story, she stated: “My birthday wish is to celebrate with you wearing your most fabulous silver fashions to the shows 8.23 - 9.22! We’ll surround ourselves in a shimmering human disco ball each night.”
