'Oh s**t, I should probably rap now': Jay-Z joins wife leather-clad Beyoncé onstage (but gets a little distracted by his wife's outfit)

By Daily Mail Reporter


They are obviously still Crazy In Love for each other and liked to be involved in each others' work as much as possible.

So perhaps this what Jay-Z was thinking when he asked wife Beyoncé to perform onstage with him in New York on Saturday.

However, he probably didn't bank on getting so distracted by his wife's leather-clad body that he missed his cue as she performed a couple of songs.

The couple who work together...: Beyoncé was distracting her husband in her tight leather outfit

Looking every inch the curvy superstar, mother-of-one Beyoncé, performed her song Diva before Jay-Z joined her for Crazy In Love and Young Forver.

Although crowds were waiting for Jay-Z to come in the Crazy In Love sondtrack after the rapper, 42, became so distracted watching his wife on the monitors backstage he was heard saying: 'Oh s**t, I should probably rap here.'

And when the song was finished as Beyoncé walked off the stage, Jay-Z gave her playful slap on the derriere.

All that glitters: Jay-z wouldn't be anywhere without his gold watch, necklace and gold bottle of champagne

When the song was through Beyoncé exited the stage, but not before hubby Hov gave her a playful slap on the behind.

Beyonce was back onstage for Young Forever, wearing skin-tight, black leather pants and a stylish black motorcycle jacket.

The couple even shared a kiss before they exited off stage while the hometown crowd cheered on.

Cute feet - but we want to see her face! Jay-Z keeps Blue Ivy covered up as her little legs poke out beneath protective blanket

By Nadia Mendoza


She's only five-months-old, but she already commands attention wherever she goes.

And Blue Ivy Carter even has the power to be centre of attention while largely covered in a blanket.

The infant offspring of Beyoncé and Jay-Z was spied being carried by daddy during a day tip in Paris.

Fatherly love: Jay-Z holds daughter Blue Ivy protectively in his arms in Paris

The family are currently in France following Jay-Z's performance at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on Friday night for his Watch The Throne co-headline tour with Kanye West.

Despite being flanked by security, the Empire State Of Mind star was not about to offload his most prized possession into their care, instead carrying his little girl with both arms wrapped around her.

She was protected from the imposing flashbulbs beneath a baby blue blanket, with her little legs dangling barefoot from beneath.


Proud mama: Beyoncé looked relaxed in a patterned shirt and pink trousers

Only the best: Beyoncé was seen arriving at the five star Le Meurice Hotel in Paris

Her toes could be seen wriggling freely as she was dressed in navy blue leggings - in keeping with her unique name.

Beyoncé was also present, looking effortlessly striking in pink.

The mother-of-one opted for a smart/casual appearance, stepping out in pink loose-fitted trousers, nude heels and a colourful patterned shirt.

Rather cheekily, the Crazy In Love songbird had left a few buttons undone meaning her cleavage peeped through and the lining of her bra could be seen.

The 30-year-old looked relaxed, appearing to have gone make-up free beneath her shades and opting to leave her long curls unstyled.

She also ventured out over the weekend to watch her husband, 42, in concert alongside a sea of famous friends including Kelly Rowland, Gwyneth Paltrow, Spike Lee and Adrien Brody.

'Feels so good to be back home on stage': Beyonce shows off her post-baby curves as she performs for first time since Blue's birth

By Emily Sheridan


Shimmy and shake: Singer Beyonce returns to the stage for the first time since giving birth to her daughter Blue Ivy at the Ovation Hall at Revel Resort & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey

It's been nine months since Beyonce last performed for her adoring fans.

Taking to the stage in New Jersey last night for the first time since giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy, it appeared her time out for motherhood hasn't affected her stage presence.

Showing off her post-baby curves in a showgirl-style, fringed bralet and tiny shorts, the 30-year-old wowed the sold-out crowd on the first of a three-night stint at the Revel Resort & Casino in Atlantic City.

Energetic: The singer has been rehearsing for weeks to get in shape for her comeback

Supporting her from the wings was her rapper husband Jay-Z, who recently returned from the London leg of his Watch The Thrones tour with Kanye West.

Under his Twitter name Mr Carter, he wrote: 'I'm gonna say this and then I'm gonna end mine. BEYONCE is the best performer in the world. Period.'

The gig marked Beyonce's first concert since giving birth to their daughter Blue in January, following her last gig at the MTV Video Music Awards last August - the same day she confirmed her pregnancy.


Back to black: The singer also wore a sheer panelled black body suit and black and gold bralet and pants

'Best performer in the world': Her husband Jay-Z gave his support with a proud Twitter message

Speaking to the 5,500 fans at the Ovation Hall in the Revel, she said: 'I gotta say, it feels so good to be back home on stage.'

However, she didn't bring up her new life as motherhood too often, except for a fleeting glimpse of Beyonce cradling her daughter in a video montage on the screen behind her.

Her sexy costumes were custom-made by London design house Ralph & Russo, who used 500,000 Swarovski Elements crystals to create the look.

Ralph & Russo designer Tamara Ralph told People magazine: 'Beyoncé wanted us to be really creative and create fun and edgy designs that had an ultra-glamorous feel to them.'

During the set, she performed a selection of her biggest hits, including Crazy In Love, Love On Top, Irresistible and If I Were A Boy.

She paid tribute to the late Whitney Houston with a cover of I Will Always Love You and closed the concert with Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It).


Red alert: Beyonce also changed into a revealing red leotard and black Mary Janes for another segment on the show

Critics and fans were unanimously impressed, with USA Today's Elysa Gardner writing: 'Backed by an all-female band and a tireless posse of dancers and backup vocalists, Beyonce reasserted her unique pop persona; she was at once angel and seductress, cool diva and woman of the people.'

Also in the crowd were Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmate Kelly Rowland and Victoria's Secret model Selita Ebanks.

Ahead of the concert, Beyonce posted a behind-the-scenes video on YouTube featuring her rehearsals for the concerts, admitting she was 'nervous' about returning to the stage.

She said: 'I'm enjoying being a mother so it's like going back to my old job, and it's a little strange.


Having a little rest: At one point the singer sat on the stage

So good to be back: The concert marked Beyonce's first performance in nine months

'But it's important that you don't lose yourself and still have your own passions. And so I'm back to work, I'm back to business.'

Beyonce is also seen in dance rehearsals in the five-minute video, with her choreographer helping her get back into the swing of things.

'We're basically warming her up and getting her back into shape,' dancer and choreographer Danielle Polanco says to the camera.

'Stretching her out . . she hasn't been working out in I don't know how long!'

I am Sasha Fierce! Beyoncé shakes a purple tail feather in dramatic sheer dress with super-long train as she leads the fashion pack at Met Gala

By Aislin Taylor and Nadia Mendoza


On a night when fashion's finest come out to play, there is always going to be a little competition.

And Beyonce Knowles led the fashion parade with flying colours at the A-list bulging Met Gala.

Making her grand red carpet return after giving birth to daughter Blue Ivy Carter in January, the 30-year-old's figure looked sensational in her sheer sequin Givenchy Haute Couture gown.

The theatrical creation also featured a purple feathered tail as long as a wedding dress train.

The nude bodysuit she wore underneath was also visible, and flattering against her honeyed skin.

But the experimental garment has divided fashion critics, with some saying it left little to the imagination and was daring just for sake of being noticed.

However, Beyonce has never been one to shy away from publicity and obviously relished her moment in the spotlight.

Centre of attention: All eyes were on Beyonce for her daring experimental number

A stylist was also seen at her beck and call, primping the dress as she ascended the stairs.

Other stars also created a heated debate as to whether or not they should end up on the fashion hit or miss list at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual ball.

One person that certainly was chasing Beyonce's tail - was her own sister.

Solange embraced the summer vibe, stepped out in bold canary yellow.

The 25-year-old often trails in her big sister's footsteps, but she was a star in her own right last night, creating the perfect hour-glass silhouette with a flared middle to create the illusion of a smaller waist.

Her wild afro hair looked incredibly striking, as she injected an ultra-glamorous finish with a diamante clutch bag and unusual geometric bangle.

She gave birth to daughter Blue Ivy just three months ago, but Beyoncé has wasted no time in showing off her post-baby curves.

As she hit the beach in St Barts with husband Jay-Z, the 30-year-old star proudly displayed her womanly curves in a modest one-piece.

Beyoncé looked stunning in the plunging black swimsuit, which featured a cute frill around the waist, as she cooled off after some sunbathing with a dip in the sea.

Beyoncé's trip in the sea came after she was spotted spending some alone time with Jay-Z on the white sands, as the pair took the opportunity to have a few hours off from their baby daughter.

The superstar couple spent today on the beach where they lay on the sand and soaked up the sunshine.

They have had very hectic schedules since the birth of their first child so appear to be making the most of their Caribbean getaway.

And they seem to be taking to parenthood like ducks to water as they make sure they have some quiet time as a couple as well as doting on their little one.

They certainly seemed to be winding down as an ice bucket rested behind them which contained a bottle of wine and several bottles of water, while Jay-Z also sipped juice from a coconut.

But while Beyoncé and Jay-Z certainly appear to be enjoying their break, their relaxing time will soon be over as the new mother is scheduled to make her musical comeback next month when she performs three concerts over Memorial Day Weekend at Revel Beach's Ovation Hall in New Jersey.

The holiday comes as the singer and her rapper husband are reported to have renewed their wedding vows in celebration of their fourth anniversary earlier this week.

The power couple are also understood to have exchanged new rings as they stood before celebrity guests including Oprah Winfrey, according to MediaTakeOut.com.
