Dsquared2's Wonder Twins Creating a Costume For Beyoncé's Upcoming Tour

Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2 are the latest designers to create an onstage look for Beyoncé.

Dean and Dan Caten of Dsquared2 are the latest designers to create an onstage look for Beyoncé.

The singer will wear at least one costume created by the designers during her Mrs. Carter Show tour, which begins on April 15 in Belgrade, Serbia and ends on August 15 in Brooklyn. The look is inspired by some of the more glamorous pieces in the Catens' '90s-fueled Spring 2013 collection, and a representative for the brand told Vogue UK that the outfit is "a unique outfit created exclusively for her."

But Beyoncé isn't the first diva to have a major fashion house design a tour wardrobe. Gucci's Frida Giannini created looks for Florence Welch to wear on tour in 2011, and Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy designed the looks Rihanna is wearing on her Diamonds Tour.

An idea of what Mrs. Carter's costume might look like, here in the gallery.

DSquared2 Fall 2013

Imagine what the patrons of a glamorous '40s-era Parisian jazz club would wear, and you're not far off from the Fall 2013 collection from DSquared2.

Imagine what the patrons of a glamorous '40s-era Parisian jazz club would wear, and you're not far off from the Fall 2013 collection from DSquared2. Designers Dean and Dan Caten sent out a series of looks that ran the gamut from masculine (Cara Delevingne walked the runway in a double-breasted suit with full-cut trousers) to ultrafeminine, like the silk gown trimmed in ostrich feathers that opened the show.

If that doesn't sound luxurious enough, there was plenty more.

Meet the Dashing Cast of Bravo's Launch My Line

It's time to talk about Bravo's new fashion competition show Launch My Line. You ready for this? Premiering Wednesday, Sept. 16, the show takes 10 already established professionals who seek to launch a fashion line and pairs them with fashion designers to make it happen. Teamwork at its best. We shall see. Some bonds are bound to occur, while some drama is guaranteed.

The winning professional will have his or her clothing line launched, and the winner's helping designer will receive $50,000. Pretty simple, no? The show hosts, Dean and Dan Caten of DSquared, are hot, and the judges are reputable retail queens — Stefani Greenfield of Scoop and Lisa Kline. Now that's more like it. Bravo does such a good job with editing and setting the stage, I'm curious about this one. Click on to meet the designers and professionals — I wonder who's going to get paired with whom.
