"It's all about girl power," said Gigi Evans, 30, of Friday Harbor. "She reminds me to embody your divine femininity."

Tens of thousands of Beyoncé fans descended on Lumen Field Thursday night, dressed to impress for the Seattle stop of the Renaissance World Tour. In honor of Virgo season, Beyoncé asked fans to wear their "most fabulous silver fashions."

"It means sisterhood," said Kahlia Brookins of the Bay Area. "It means a sense of womanhood, freedom, and empowerment."

As the sun set, fans sparkled and shimmered in disco ball earrings and silver tassels while making their way to the venue.

Democratic Oregon State Rep. Andrea Valderrama attended the concert with her 8-year-old daughter, Rosalía.

"Getting ready together was really special for us both," said Valderrama. "To be able to see someone who makes us both feel so beautiful and powerful — it's just a really core moment for us."
