Beyoncé’s newest world tour almost went without her to-die-for opening-night outfit. A one-legged jumpsuit in silvery cobra. No fittings. New York designer Rubin Singer locates special rare skins in Europe and Asia, then moulds and fashions them himself. In his workplace. On her mannequin.

Her Eighth army of stylists, scouring America and abroad for top couture, discovered this Russian-born genius whose father, Alik, designed for the Bolshoi, whose grandfather whatever-his-name-was outfitted the royal family. It’s in his DNA. The talent’s in Rubin’s jeans.

European customs and paperwork heart-stoppingly blocked Beyoncé’s priceless one-of-a-kind handmade outfit. Why, who knows? If lost or shanghai’d, it couldn’t fit another performer like, say, for instance, Björk — and yet en route European entry was refused. Everyone went nuts until it arrived.

So after she moves, gyrates, jumps or sweats in it, what happens to it subsequently? After the One Big Night, she maybe doesn’t even wear the thing again. Few have desperate need for a one-legged shiny cobra jumpsuit. Maybe it’s hacked down to a onesie for Baby Blue Ivy.

As for Rubin Singer, he’s running hot. At a recent Paris showing, he sold $200,000 in wardrobe.
