The show featured references to science fiction, philosophy, and ballroom culture, which is pioneered by Black queer people.

Beyoncé was accompanied by her daughter Blue Ivy, who made an appearance during the show.

The performance was also a tribute to Beyoncé's icon Tina Turner, who passed away last week.

The show celebrates Black queer culture and history, with Beyoncé walking through the categories of old way, vogue fem, and sex siren.

The closing performance of Summer Renaissance was a homage to the mythology of Bianca Jagger's Studio 54 moment.
