Teamed with a [futuristic black Gareth Pugh mini-dress](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set), the performer wore the futuristic hand accessory to the MTV Europe Music Awards. Obviously a fan of the British designer, Knowles also wore a second dress at the event. This one, which she had on during her performance, had a far more edgy look. The dress, according to [People Magazine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-fabulous), was comprised of gunmetal grey bands, elastic and zippers. I think Beyonce's look was fembot chic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 69% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Cyberpunk Fashion:** The rise of cyberpunk fashion presents opportunities for designers to create futuristic and edgy garments. - **Metal Accessories:** The popularity of metal accessories, such as golden metal gloves, opens up possibilities for accessory designers to develop unique and statement pieces. - **Fembot Aesthetic:** The fembot aesthetic, as seen in Beyonce's cyberpunk look, inspires fashion brands to experiment with robotic and futuristic designs. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion Design:** Fashion designers can embrace the cyberpunk trend to create innovative and avant-garde collections. - **Accessory Design:** Accessory designers can capitalize on the demand for metal accessories by creating bold and futuristic pieces. - **Performance Wear:** The fembot aesthetic showcased by Beyonce opens up opportunities for performance wear designers to incorporate futuristic elements into their designs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Futuristic Robotic Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ikeuchi-hiroto.md) - [Artistic Dress NFTs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unwearable-dresses.md) - [Couture Ketchup Dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/la-robe-ketchup.md) - [Punk Rock-Informed Fall Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superculture-collection.md) - [Futuristic Fall-Centric Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origins-collection.md) - [Peace-Resembling Dress Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peace-dress.md) - [Bespoke Lab-Grown Diamond Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pandora-the-fashion-awards-2025.md) - [LED-Infused Festival Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tinsel-arcade.md) - [Avant-Garde Biomimicry Fashion Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biomimicry-fashion.md)
