It’s a heart-pumping week for Israeli designer Inbal Dror as diva Beyoncé is wearing one of her frocks for a second time.

The world-renowned singer opened her Formation world tour in Houston, Texas, in a modular dress by Dror that morphs into a bodysuit, a sexy look often worn by the fit and curvaceous singer.

It isn’t the first time Beyoncé is wearing the Israeli designer’s work. At the January Grammy Awards, she chose Dror’s Victorian-styled white and silver tulle gown, featuring an intricately embroidered shirtwaist-styled bodice, with thigh-high tulle cutouts on the skirt of the dress.

Despite the bridal theme, it had elements similar to the Freakum dress, another Israeli-designed piece worn in red by Beyoncé that was created by Israeli designer Alon Livne for her 2013 world tour.

It was Beyoncé’s stylist Marni Senofonte who personally asked Dror to create dresses for the tour, said Dror, and the modular dress was custom-designed for Beyoncé.

It’s like a dream come true, said Dror in a statement to the press.

“There’s nothing more exciting than recognition and appreciation by a leading star in the world, to my brand,” she said. “It’s a big honor and a huge compliment to be part of her show.”
