Pharrell Celebrates ‘Rare’ Beyoncé: ‘I Feel Like I’ve Known [Her] For Many Lives’

Pharrell has expressed his admiration for his longtime friend and collaborator, Beyoncé — noting their closeness may very well be linked to his belief he knew her in a past life.

In a recent video shared via Louis Vuitton on Instagram, detailing Williams’ process in crafting a studded jumpsuit for Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour, the multi-hyphenate talent revealed how his connection to the Queen B — over the course of “many lives” — aided in bringing his vision to life.

“Beyoncé is a rare spirit,” began Pharrell. “The idea that I know her as a human being and have known her for all this time and our connection, I feel like I’ve known this person for many lives.”

When creating the custom look, Williams kept the music icon’s body and silhouette top of mind.

“The idea here was to give her something that allows her body to set the template,” he stated. “Not only its shape and its form, which is basically informed by her spirit. Your body is literally a spiritual encasement. Continue to celebrate her shape and her form, but also make her feel free at the same time.”

Pharrell added that Beyoncé’s outfit was created for someone “who is royal in her spirit.”

He continued: “Everything was designed with an intention that a true, rare, very powerful spirit is meant to move,” he concluded.

According to Louis Vuitton, the “Happy” recording artist also created custom garments for Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, 11, who has joined her mother on stage to bust a move, on multiple occasions during her world tour.

Earlier this year, it was announced that Pharrell had been appointed the creative director of menswear at the luxury brand, following the death of designer Virgil Abloh.

This is not the first time the dynamic duo has joined forces in the name of the arts, be it music or fashion. In 2013, Pharrell served as a producer on Bey’s fifth studio album for “Superpower” featuring Frank Ocean. More recently, the pair teamed up for the soundtrack for Disney’s The Lion King on songs like “Water” featuring Salatiel and more.
