"It’s designed by Olivier Rousteing, somebody who has been so loyal to me, and I’ve done so many iconic looks with him," the Grammy winner gushed to a reporter of luxe look.

Blue Ivy Carter Faced Backlash
Beyoncé and Jay-Z share three kids.
Blue Ivy caught the showbiz bug from her parents, having released a few songs and acting as a dancer on Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour.
In Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, the mother-of-three admitted she was hesitant to allow her firstborn on stage: "She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no."
Beyoncé noted there were numerous “not great” remarks made about her daughter, spilling, “I was pretty disappointed that she had access to them.”
Some of the cruel comments included, “Get this nepo baby off our screens, we are TIRED," and “Stop trying to make Blue Ivy happen. It’s not going to happen."
'The More I Do, the Better I Become'
Blue Ivy Carter admitted she felt tougher after reading negative comments about her dancing skills.
"I mean, there were lots of negative things that people had to say, but I could see that the more I do, the better I become," Blue Ivy acknowledged.
Beyoncé’s father, Mathew Knowles, noted his granddaughter refused to let the hate get to her.
"That’s when Blue Ivy started practicing and practicing," he recalled. "Basically saying, ‘I’ll show you!’ — that’s a Knowles right there!"
“From now on, I’m just going to get better and better from where I am now,” Blue Ivy shared. “And on the last show, I’ll be dancing as hard as I possibly can. I feel a little bit more tough."
