"She is one of the most beautiful women in the world, and it took my breath away when I saw her." —when Donatella Versace spoke about Beyoncé after seeing her on the Cowboy Carter Tour
"She very kindly invited me backstage to see her just before she went on stage. She is one of the most beautiful women in the world, and it took my breath away when I saw her.
When you design something for the catwalk, it is one thing, but then when you see Beyoncé bring a look to life and make it move so incredible on the stage, that gives me the greatest pleasure. She is a goddess, one of the nicest people on the planet and a true superstar. I can see the clothes giving her confidence and I can see how she uses them to enhance the performance.
When you see Beyoncé perform, you see every detail she has considered. She said on Saturday that she tried to make sure everyone felt as if they had a front row seat. When Versace holds a fashion show, we want people to feel the same too. I was truly humbled to have Beyoncé as my dear friend equally supporting me."

Anne Hathaway listened to Beyoncé's "American Requiem" song "over and over and over" to find her #MotherMary voice:
"Her technique in that song is so mesmerizing and astonishing: and listening to her phraseology, her musicianship, understanding the history of her voice that had led her to be able to make that sound that is so still, so present. I studied that, and I appreciated that Beyoncé can be a is a robastic vocalist, but she also knows how to be still. And I thought, okay, maybe there’s something to be said about having a sweet, still voice, maybe I can work with this. But learning pop phrasing was a really big deal — that was like learning a new language."
