Beyoncé looked to custom designs for her latest Oscars appearance.
The music icon, who is nominated for Best Original Song for “Be Alive” from the nominated film “King Richard,” opened the 2022 Oscars with a satellite performance from the tennis courts of Compton, Calif.
Beyoncé opted for a custom David Koma look for the performance, wearing a neon yellow, sequined and feathered dress. The custom look was inspired by two dresses from David Koma’s spring 2022 and fall 2022 collections.
While Beyoncé was scheduled to perform at the ceremony, she did not walk the red carpet. Beyoncé has performed at the Oscars three times before this year’s ceremony, however, this is her first nomination.
She was accompanied in the performance by an array of backup dancers who wore.
Beyoncé then made her way to Dolby Theatre to view the Oscars ceremony. She changed into another gown for the show, this time a custom yellow off-the-shoulder Valentino gown. The gown was accented with a flowing cape and matching opera gloves.
