How Beyonce Knowles' Fashion Picks Set Her Apart

Beyonce Knowles always turn heads when she steps out, whether on stage or grabbing a bite to eat with her business savvy husband Jay-Z. And one thing for sure—she could care less what you think about her hair or fits.

Case and point, the “Love On Top” singer was spotted in Paris, France leaving she and Jay’s hotel for dinner wearing her assumed favorite Linda Farrow x The Row sunglasses, a sun-yellow monochromatic short suit paired with a zebra clutch and a peculiar pair of Prada 2012 spring collection heels.

Blue Ivy’s mom heels sported flaming wings and taillights, a narrow heel, green throughout, all while colorblocking her toes with neon orange polish. If that doesn’t scream ‘I wear what I want’, I don’t know what does! LOL!

The hardest working couple in Hollywood is in France for Jay’s European leg of his “Watch The Throne” tour with rapper-designer Kanye West.

Wednesday at the swanky Caviar Kaspia restaurant, the “Party” singer opted for fitted leather pants, a red tuxedo jacket, and sexy pumps with a gold chain adorning her ankle. Earlier in the week, the gorgeous Bey wore slouchy hot pink pants with a busy top, classic nude heels, and her ferosh big hair.

The “Halo” singer’s stage costumes are usual Bey-wear as well. Her return to the stage at Atlantic City since giving birth to Blue Ivy four months ago were all proof-positive that her nude-colored, shiny, and tap heels are all here to stay. Reportedly, some of her showstopping pieces “took four weeks to make, with 20 couturiers working around the clock to stitch on the outfits’ 500,000 Swarovski crystals.”

“Beyoncé and her team wanted to launch Revel Resort at Atlantic City with a modern showgirl idea – which was perfect. The brief provided us with the flexibility to create fun and edgy couture designs that had an ultra-glamorous feel to them,” according to Ms. Ralph of Ralph & Russo who designed Bey’s comeback stage-wear.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
