A Night With Beyonce and Thousands of SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS

OMG! Since Beyonce had her baby Ivy Blue, I've been on FULL Beyonce watch!! I didn't even know she had a TV Special back in December that I am very sad I missed it!  

Beyonce wowed the audience in her first ever TV special “A Night With Beyonce”, which aired on ITV1. The singer dazzled in two Swarovski encrusted costumes designed by luxury couture house Ralph & Russo. 

   

Ralph & Russo used over 50,000 SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS to create the sensational costumes – a daring nude mesh bodysuit covered in smoke blue Swarovski crystal that is OUT OF CONTROL AMAZING and a dramatic red leather flared skirt with bronze metallic cut out corset also embellished with thousands of crystals.

 I am so jealous I wasn't there! It is one of the best concerts she has done ever! Here's the video for your viewing pleasure!
