Queen Bey made a surprise appearance at the premiere of Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert movie, which got the internet's attention. Her Alien Superstar -esque looks still have the hive buzzing to this day.
The A-list duo stunned on the red carpet at the Grove Hotel in Los Angeles. The "Cruel Summer" hitmaker paid tribute to her impeccably dressed guest of honor after her Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour concluded on October 11.
"She taught me and every artist here to break the rules and challenge industry norms," Swift wrote on Instagram. "Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She has been a guiding light for me throughout my career."
While fans were eager to get their first look at Swift's record-breaking album, all eyes were on Beyoncé's red carpet outfit - details of which can be explored below.
Beyoncé's all-black ensemble
In stark contrast to Swift's sky-blue ballgown, the Grammy winner took to the stage in an all-black ensemble, looking like she could be on the Renaissance World Tour stage.
"Beyoncé takes silver and metallics to another level on this summer's Renaissance Tour."
Her red carpet ensemble included a bodysuit, combat-style boots and a pair of futuristic sunglasses. The metallic hue harmonized perfectly with the centerpiece of her look: a shimmering bronze breastplate.

Designed by LaQuan Smith, this reflective accessory looks like real breasts. If you look closely, you'll even spot a pair of mirrored nipples. All in all, her bold outfit fit perfectly into the dress code for Renaissance's unofficial tour.
"Beyoncé takes silver and metallics to another level on her Renaissance Tour this summer," said Gabrielle Bondi, Bustle TV editor and BeyHive member. "It's no surprise to see her continue to lead the way with her chrome breastplates and futuristic specs."

Swift's $12,000 " 1989 Blue" Oscar de la Renta gown (dubbed the "Oscar de la Renta" by some fans) appeared to be a reference to her upcoming release A re -release of the 1989 (Tyler version) album is scheduled for release on October 27th.
The eagle-eyed Swift also pointed out the hitmaker's fake bob - an apparent nod to the short haircuts that were popular during her era.
Swift added a touch of glamor with diamond jewelry, open-toe heels and her signature red lipstick.
