Beyonce makes a dazzling return to the stage at Revel

In her first concert performance after giving birth to Blue Ivy, Beyonce commanded the stage only as " Sasha Fierce" can. The sold out Memorial Day Weekend performances were held at the Revel Resort and Casino in Atlantic City.




Beyonce admitted to having nervous performance jitters prior to hitting the stage, however rave reviews about the show continue to buzz. She worked hard to return her post baby body to its previous state in 5 short months since giving birth. I must say Bey looks amazing!

The Costumes

Beyonce's stage costumes were exclusivley designed by Ralph and Russo. The couture pieces were embellished with 500,000 Swarovski crystal elements by 20 couteriers and took an astounding 4 weeks to make.  “Beyoncé wanted us to be really creative and create fun and edgy designs that had an ultra-glamorous feel to them”- Tamara Ralph designer Ralph and Russo
