Beyonce ditched her daring black gown for another eye-catching look as she headed to a swanky after party following the star-studded premiere for her Renaissance Tour movie on Thursday.
The hitmaker, 42, slipped into a funky black gown with a bold silver jewelled embellishment and a $295 pair of Kimeze ‘Gabriel’ cat-eye sunglasses as she headed to Harry’s Bar in Mayfair with her husband Jay-Z.
After wowing on the red carpet with her sexy black bodysuit and a platinum blonde wig, Beyonce put on another showstopping display as she headed to the post-premiere party.
She wasn’t joined by the premiere’s guest of honour Taylor Swift, who was spotted leaving the UK on her private jet after a whirlwind 12-hour visit.
Beyonce’s gown boasted a striking 3D starburst design decked out with Swarovski crystals, pearls and sparkling sapphire stones on the chest, and she added some more bling in the form of her diamond Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

Beyonce was flanked by security, one of which held her hand as they escorted her to the bar’s entrance.
Following close behind was her music producer husband Jay-Z, who cut a dapper figure for his wife’s big night in a classic black tuxedo with a black bow tie, with their daughter Blue Ivy, 11, in tow.
Missing from the action was the couple’s six-year-old twins Rumi and Sir Carter.
Noticeably absent from the party was Taylor, who had stunned in a dazzling silver gown earlier in the evening.
The star has already departed London on her private jet after a whirlwind 12-hour visit to attend Beyonce’s premiere on Thursday.
Taylor has been holed up with boyfriend Travis Kelce in Kansas City and was clearly keen to get back to her new squeeze as she boarded her flight as the premiere was still in full swing.
Snaps taken at London’s Stansted Airport showed Taylor being taken to the plane under an umbrella and surrounded by a three-car convoy of security. She is expected to be returning to the US.
Taylor and Beyonce were joined at the star-studded premiere by BFF Blake Lively, Beyonce’s Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams and Will.i.am.

A source close to Taylor told DailyMail.com said: ‘Taylor and Beyonce have been chatting a lot since Beyonce surprised her at her Eras film premiere. They would seem like unlikely friends but the two of them truly get each other. In a world of copycats and wannabes both are at the top of their game.
‘Beyonce cemented such a special place in Taylor’s heart in 2009 when she shut Kanye down. They both know now that karma took care of Kanye exactly as they believed it would.
‘At the time, Taylor was not the powerhouse she is today. It was just so showing of who Beyonce really is and ever since that moment the two of them have celebrated each other’s successes. Their music is very different. Their fans are very different, and their lives are so different.
‘But one thing that they can both relate on is that they are a master of their craft. There is nothing that Taylor would not do for Beyonce, and she will go to bat form this woman until the day she dies.’
A source told The Sun that it was ‘the most tightly guarded premiere this year’ as it brought Swifties and the Beyhive together.
‘Because of the stars’ fan bases, crowd control measures were put in place to make sure everyone was safe,’ they dished.
This comes as it was revealed Taylor and Travis will move in together for good if their ‘practice run’ at his $6 million Kansas City mansion goes well, according to insiders, who claim the loved up ‘soulmates’ have discussed a family.
A moving truck was spotted outside the NFL star’s new pad on Tuesday – just one day after Taylor, 33, wrapped the South American leg of her Eras tour with a sold out concert in Brazil – with furniture and other items pictured being carried inside.
The couple, who started dating in September, are said to be ‘obsessed’ with each other, with the pair flying to and from his games and her concerts to spend time together.
‘While Taylor is not officially moving in with Travis, her friends and family believe she isn’t exactly moving out either,’ a source close to the Blank Space singer told DailyMail.com exclusively.
This red carpet is Beyonce’s first since her mother Tina Knowles-Lawson fired back at ‘racist and self-hating’ critics who accused the star of ‘lightening’ her skin.

For her big night, Beyonce flashed the flesh in a glitzy black peekaboo dress with a long, glamorous train.
Beneath her sparkly frock was a busty black bodysuit with a gold flower embroidered just below her abdomen.
Beyonce was still rocking platinum blonde tresses — which she debuted over the weekend — styled into an elegant half up, half down look.
Beyonce had on edgy black vinyl fingerless gloves and shiny silver drop earrings.
As for her shoes, the A-lister stood on platform boots with laces.
The mother-of-three was accompanied by her stylish daughter Blue Ivy, 11, who joined in on the photo fun ahead of the screening.
Blue, who joined Beyonce on her Renaissance tour as a dancer, wore a one-shouldered black gown with a structured shoulders and futuristic shades.
The precocious 11-year-old braved England’s freezing winter weather wearing only a sleeveless black Versace gown selected by her famous 42-year-old mother’s stylist Shiona Turini.
‘Are you cold?’ Beyoncé asked Blue in the 1C temperature, who responded: ‘Yeah.’
Knowles-Carter then told a staffer behind the camera, ‘Wait a minute. She’s cold,’ and dashed off, seemingly, to find her eldest child a coat.
The 32-time Grammy winner could certainly relate considering she was scantily clad in a crotch-flashing, black blazer dress from Thom Browne’s FW/23 collection.
‘This has me in tears right now,’ the 69-year-old grandmother-of-four wrote in the caption.
‘To the fans that are there uplifting this beautiful, talented 11-year-old I thank you. I appreciate you.’
Taylor’s appearance comes over a month after Beyonce supported her at the premiere of her Eras Tour concert tour at The Grove in Los Angeles.
The Crazy In Love songstress wowed in a silver chrome breast plate styled with a skintight black catsuit as she hit the red carpet.
Taylor gave Beyonce a shout-out after the premiere, posting a fun boomerang of the duo sitting inside the movie theatre as they shared a bowl of popcorn.
‘I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce’s influence,’ she captioned the clip. ‘The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms.
‘Her generosity of spirit. Her resilience and versatility. She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale.’
Beyonce’s London bash comes after the Los Angeles premiere of the Renaissance film, which was held at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater.
It attracted a star-studded crowd including her Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
And the film’s latest trailer gave a peek at Beyonce reuniting with the former members on stage for an epic performance.
The LA premiere was a private affair with guests receiving a ‘save the date’ invite that only included the time and a dress code which requested ‘cosy opulence’.

According to Variety, the location of the theatre was only revealed to Beyonce’s guests just 24 hours before the screening took place.
The publication reported that guests were advised to ‘take a ride share to an address in Beverly Hills, where they were then directed to the location of the screening’.
An announcer told guests no photos or recordings were permitted in the theater as Beyonce entered when the lights were dimmed.
For her big night, the multi-Grammy Award-winner turned heads in a rear-length platinum wig and a stunning silver Versace gown.
The star’s ethereal look sparked rumors that she ‘lightened’ her complexion — something her mother Tina Lawson shutdown in a fiery Instagram rant this week.
She furiously struck out at online critics in a post shared Tuesday, writing that she was over people ‘attacking’ her daughter.
Tina accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
Beyonce’s premiere guests included mom Tina as well as Lizzo, Janelle Monáe and Lori Harvey.
According to the official synopsis for the film, the project ‘accentuates the journey of RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR, from its inception, to the opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri.
