With weekends piled up by the wedding pandemic postponed, it feels like my social media feed has become a Pinterest board for weddings, a bunch of lilies, long trains and lace – just a heavy buffet of tulle and bridal.

Designed by Stéphane Rolland, the bike-friendly jumpsuit features a cape and sloping neckline. Knowles paired it with nude sandals and a striking red lip. The main accessory is a bicycle painted white and decorated with flowers.
