While diva Beyonce may don dresses of many colors, she keeps coming back to blue and white.
The pop princess is releasing a new movie for the Disney+ network called Black is King, in which she wears a wedding dress by Israeli designer Alon Livne.
The new movie, which the singer, aka Queen Bey, is calling a "visual album" celebrates the journeys of blacks throughout the ages and tells "a tale about a young king's transcendent journey through betrayal, love and self-identity," according to a Disney press release.
Beyonce wrote in an Instagram post featuring highlights from the film that it "is a labor of love. It is my passion project that I have been filming, researching and editing day and night for the past year. I’ve given it my all and now it’s yours... [It's] meant to celebrate the breadth and beauty of Black ancestry. I could never have imagined that a year later, all the hard work that went into this production would serve a greater purpose. The events of 2020 have made the film’s vision and message even more relevant, as people across the world embark on a historic journey."

I typically keep comments short and sweet, but I just watched the trailer with my family and I’m excited. please don’t get me hype “Black Is King” is a labor of love. It is my passion project that I have been filming, researching and editing day and night for the past year. I’ve given it my all and now it’s yours. It was originally filmed as a companion piece to “The Lion King: The Gift” soundtrack and meant to celebrate the breadth and beauty of Black ancestry. I could never have imagined that a year later, all the hard work that went into this production would serve a greater purpose. The events of 2020 have made the film’s vision and message even more relevant, as people across the world embark on a historic journey. We are all in search of safety and light. Many of us want change. I believe that when Black people tell our own stories, we can shift the axis of the world and tell our REAL history of generational wealth and richness of soul that are not told in our history books. With this visual album, I wanted to present elements of Black history and African tradition, with a modern twist and a universal message, and what it truly means to find your self-identity and build a legacy. I spent a lot of time exploring and absorbing the lessons of past generations and the rich history of different African customs. While working on this film, there were moments where I’ve felt overwhelmed, like many others on my creative team, but it was important to create a film that instills pride and knowledge. I only hope that from watching, you leave feeling inspired to continue building a legacy that impacts the world in an immeasurable way. I pray that everyone sees the beauty and resilience of our people. This is a story of how the people left MOST BROKEN have EXTRAORDINARY gifts.❤️✊ Thank you to Blitz, Emmanuel, Ibra, Jenn, Pierre, Dikayl, Kwasi and all the brilliant creatives. Thank you to all at Disney for giving this Black woman the opportunity to tell this story. This experience has been an affirmation of a grander purpose. My only goal is that you watch it with your family and that it gives you pride. Love y’all, B

In a shot from the film, she appears in an elaborate white wedding gown by Livne, a designer whose creations she has worn in the past. Livne has designed dresses for Beyonce several times, including the red "Freakum" dress she wore on her Mrs. Carter World Tour in 2013.
But Livne isn't the only Israeli designer Beyonce supports. In 2018, she wore a nude-colored tulle gown by Shahar Avnet in London with her husband Jay-Z. Inbal Dror created several custom-made looks for Beyonce's World Formation tour, and Galia Lahav had the honor of designing the wedding gown in which Beyonce and Jay-Z renewed their vows.
Black is King will begin streaming on Disney+ on July 31.
