23 Years Ago, Destiny’s Child Wore See-Through Crystal Bras On The Red Carpet
A cultural reset.
Who else has been patiently waiting for Beyoncé to bring out Destiny’s Child during her Renaissance World Tour as a surprise cameo, like she did at Coachella? Because it can’t just be me. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like a reunion is in the cards, so my only recourse is to dive deep into the Destiny’s Child archives.
Comprised of Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams, the R&B girl group was always in perfect harmony — in both music and style. Releasing one hit song after another, the trio consistently showed out in perfectly-coordinated ensembles. Music and fashion always went hand-in-hand.
One look that really stands out, is when Destiny’s Child walked the red carpet at the 2000 Source Hip Hop Music Awards. The three singers wore similar crystal-encrusted halter-style bras as tops, each featuring differing embellishment patterns and coverage (Rowland’s being the teeniest and Williams’ the most covered).
They paired their dazzling bras with bottoms and accessories that were perfectly coordinated, but still reflective of their personal styles. Rowland, who loved showing leg, wore white short-shorts accented with a smattering of crystals. She merchandised her ‘fit with a rhinestone-heavy double belt and white thong boots.
Knowles, of course, wore the sparkliest look of the three. She donned white hot pants under and bedazzled wrap-style micro mini. The “HEATED” singer paired the look with glistening accessories, including a bandana and thong sandals.
Williams, who typically wore pants, rocked flared white capris with a bedazzled belt slung low around her hips and barely-there sandals.
Let’s just say this look made me lose my breath.

Beyoncé’s Dazzling Mirrored Dress Gave Major “Alien Superstar” Vibes
She’s that girl.
Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour stage is 2023’s buzziest catwalk. Her range is undeniable — she’s worn everything from a nippled harness by Marine Serre to a Courrèges cut-out bodysuit and even rocked Barbiecore by her own label, Ivy Park. She also makes headlines for her twinning ‘fits with daughter Blue Ivy, who makes regular cameos on the tour.
Ensuring no two shows are the same, the 32-time Grammy winner has been surprising fans with a rotation of new costumes — and all of them have been out-of-this-world chic. One of her latest ensembles, however, was especially spicy: a glistening silver disco dress with a deep, plunging neckline.
The silver number, created by Paco Rabanne, was covered in the designer’s signature silver paillettes. Even when Beyoncé rocks a Hollywood-favorite trend — like the now-ubiquitous see-through dress — she does so in the high-fashion style fans have come to expect. Matching her beige bodysuit to her metallic ‘fit, her undergarment featured contrasting silver tubing along the seams.
Styled by Shiona Turini, Beyoncé’s accessories included black opera gloves with built-in silver-lacquered nails and thigh-high boots in the same inky fabric. To complete her sparkly ensemble, the “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” singer rocked slim crystal-encrusted sunnies.
Beyoncé is a big fan of the silver paillette-style dress. In fact, she wore a very similar gown (also by Paco Rabanne) to perform in Paris, albeit with a much longer hem.
I’m jealous of anyone who got to see this look IRL.
