Athletic-inspired pieces with a 1970s bend made up Miuccia Prada's Resort 2013 collection. Shown on a high-gloss, starkly lit runway (the same one Prada used for her Men's Spring 2013 collection a few days later), these racing-stripe tanks, wide-bottomed trousers, colorblocked furs, and banded polos would have felt right at home on a luxed-up version of Bjorn Borg's court — right down to the striped sweatbands and square gym bags that finished each look.

Beyoncé's Parisian ensembles have each been bolder than the last. Earlier, during a daytime date with husband Jay-Z, Beyoncé wore a red-hot Dsquared blazer with leather leggings, and for this nighttime outfit, the singer chose a bright monochromatic look by Surface to Air: a yellow blazer ($326, originally $465) with matching shorts ($151, originally $215) and losose-fitting tee ($88, originally $125). Her accessories included Prada's tail-light sandals — here is the blue-and-yellow version ($990) — an Alexander McQueen tiger-print clutch ($525) and round The Row sunglasses.

Priced at $1,595, the bags hit stores in the US, United Arab Emirates, and Hong Kong in June. Until then, see them up close here.
