Beyoncé reportedly wore $7.5 million worth of jewelry to her private concert in Dubai.
The ‘Crazy in Love’ singer, 41, returned to the stage for her first gig in nearly five years during her invitation-only show for the opening of the new Atlantis The Royal hotel in the UAE city Saturday evening (21.01.23). TMZ reports that she received a check for $24 million for the show.
TMZ reported that she received a check for $24 million for the show. It is now estimated that her jewelry cost around a third of that amount.
According to Page Six, the multiple outfits worn by Beyoncé included approximately $7.5 million worth of Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.
These included huge diamond chandelier earrings, as well as various Colombian green emerald and diamond fan earrings over 100 carats and a yellow diamond ring of 30 carats.
She wore a halo-style crown with another one of her outfits, which included red gloves and brought another pair of Schwartz diamond earrings.
For her final concert look, the singer wore a pink crystal-covered mini dress by Ukrainian designer Ivan Frolov, to which she added matching stockings and gloves and pyramid earrings featuring over 60 carats of diamonds.
Ivan told Vogue that the outfit was “created in our workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine, during the war and massive power cuts” and that “it just goes to show that no matter what, Ukrainian brands continue to show the world their resistance and their culture”.
Beyoncé’s stylist, KJ Moody, posted a series of photos from the concert with the following caption: “Wow! This was my first live performance, styled by me! What a moment! I’ve watched this woman tear the house apart for I’m 5 years old. I was going to destiny’s child concerts, I was screaming and I dreamed of one day being part of a moment like this.”
Beyoncé’s payday means she earned more than $280,000 per minute for her 85-minute show in Dubai.
The singer didn’t show off her new music, but performed hits like “Beautiful Liar,” “Halo,” “Crazy in Love” and “Drunk in Love.”
Beyoncé’s husband, Jay-Z, and their three children, as well as her parents, Tina Knowles-Lawson and Mathew Knowles, were present in the audience, as were famous faces such as Kendall Jenner, Rebel Wilson, Ellen Pompeo, Liam Payne and Bar Refaeli.
