Fans can be prepared to see extravagant sets and outfits for the tour. One set design even includes robot arms swiveling around Beyoncé, and at one point of the show, they even use UV light to change Beyoncé's outfit color.

Beyoncé is also wearing custom Tiffany jewelry, as well as some pieces from select Tiffany collections such as HardWear and Elsa Peretti. Her IEM is also by Tiffany, and is reportedly made of platinum with 4.5 carat diamonds.
