JERUSALEM — Beyonce is wearing a line of dresses custom made by Israeli fashion designer Inbal Dror on stage during her new world tour.
Dror, of Tel Aviv, posted photos on her Facebook and Twitter feed of the performer wearing her creations in a May 7 Houston show for the “Formation” tour, which started late last month.

Beyonce also wore a Dror-designed wedding gown when she presented at the 58th Grammy Awards in February.
For inspiration for the custom-made line, Dror said she drew inspiration from Victorian and tribal influences that are featured in the singer’s music video for her single “Formation,” The Jerusalem Post reported.
Beyonce wore a red outfit created by Israeli designer Alon Livne for her 2013 world tour.
She is scheduled to perform in Tel Aviv in August as part of this world tour.
