Jay-z News Update: Beyonce made her first post-pregnancy appearance in support of her husband Jay-Z‘s benefit concert at Carnegie Hall for United Way of New York City and the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation on Monday night. The event was such a great success, according to one report “Jay-Z has entered a new level of music superstardom” as a result of his performance last night. This was not a mere coincidence, Jay-z brought his A-Team out to perform with him last night. He was supported on stage by Alicia Keys and Nas. He was backed by an orchestra of 30-plus and a band that included Questlove of The Roots and neo-soul singer Bilal.
Among the over two dozen hits songs performed by Jay-Z last night was Glory, about his one-month-old daughter Blue Ivy Carter. After the song, he said: “That was tough.”
Despite his great performance, Blue Ivy‘s mom created the most chatter and media buzz. Beyonce who only gave birth one month ago to Blue Ivy on January 7th, showed up in a red, figure-hugging, long-sleeve Alice Temperly dress. Bey was also sporting Ofira & Lorraine Schwartz jewellery, a gold Alexander McQueen clutch bag and a pair of glitzy Christian Louboutin heels.
