Lizzo, Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monáe and Lori Harvey get glam to support the singer at big premiere of her Renaissance concert film in Beverly Hills

Lizzo was joined by Kelly Rowland, Janelle Monáe and Lori Harvey to lead the stars at the world premiere for Beyonce’s concert documentary Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce.

The stunning Hollywood heavyweights descended upon the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills on Saturday to get the first glimpse of the movie based on the pop icon’s record-breaking Renaissance tour over the summer. 

Details of the premiere were shrouded in secrecy, as guests received invitations featuring only the screening’s 7 p.m. start time and a dress code described as ‘cozy opulence’, per Variety , which the four ladies adhered to with aplomb. 

Channeling Old Hollywood glamour, Lizzo looked incredible in her white satin gown and matching opera gloves, as Kelly shimmered in a silver metallic showstopper.

Janelle was a polka dot diva in her unique sartorial choice, while Lori dared to impress in a black snakeskin mini dress.

Other members of Tinseltown’s best and brightest that did their best to channel ‘cozy opulence’ were Gabrielle Union, The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey, Blackish star Marsai Martin, Laverne Cox, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Tina Knowles.

Kelly was also joined by her Destiny Child’s mate Michelle Williams, who took the plunge in a daring black number.

LaToya brought her A-game in a skintight black dress, as LaTavia stole the spotlight in her chic sartorial choice.

Beyoncé herself did not formally walk the carpet, but was spotted with her daughter Blue Ivy.

And although Beyonce shocked fans by showing up for the world premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour at the Grove in mid-October, Taylor Swift was not present on Saturday’s premiere, as she is off in Brazil continuing her tour. 

The premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce comes after the latest trailer gave a peek at Beyonce reuniting her the former members of her girl group Destiny’s Child.

The 69-year-old matriarch, who is also mum to singer Solange, took to her Instagram to share a quote from the New York Times regarding Beyonce’s current tour being a boon to the US economy.

‘Anything Beyonce does becomes a cultural event, but the Renaissance World Tour has become a cultural movement,’ read the quote.

‘By its close this weekend, the tour will have generated an estimated $4.5 billion for the American economy, about as much as the 2008 Olympics did for Beijing.’

Tina not only congratulated her eldest daughter on the achievement, she also added Taylor to the Instagram shout out. 

‘This is so awesome!’ Tina wrote alongside a photo of Beyonce performing.

Analysts predict that the Eras Tour is on track to cross the $1 billion milestone in March next year as Taylor continues her international tour, per Time.

If this forecast proves true, the ‘Blank Space’ songstress will make music history by having the most lucrative tour ever, beating Elton John’s recent farewell tour, which earned $939 million before ending this summer. 

The Eras Tour is scheduled to run for an additional seven months, concluding in Toronto in November 2024, unless rumors of Taylor adding more tour dates turn out to be true.

Live Nation announced in October that the global trek earned more than $579 million worldwide, with 2.7 million fans attending across 56 dates in 39 cities.
