Beyoncé wows at invite-only show in Dubai
Updated | By Tamlyn Canham
Queen B bagged a cool R500-million for her Dubai appearance at the weekend!
Beyoncé was back in action this past weekend for the grandest hotel launch the world has ever seen.
Atlantis The Royal pulled out all the stops for its reveal party in Dubai. No expense was spared for the launch, which cost millions of dollars.
Beyoncé's appearance alone cost organisers a reported $24-million (R411-million). Though according to the Daily Mail, the figure was as high as $34-million (R584-million). Scores of celebrities, global influencers, and high-profile locals were spotted at the new luxury hotel for the festivities.
Beyoncé's one-hour show was an invite-only event and guests were asked not to record. But, of course, many did not listen and footage from Queen B's exclusive performance was beamed all over the world.
The 'Break My Soul' hitmaker was joined on stage by her Grammy Award-winning daughter, Blue Ivy (11) - whom she shares with rapper Jay-Z. He was also spotted at the event.
Beyoncé and Blue Ivy performed 'Brown Skin Girl'.
At one point, Blue appeared to get a little too excited onstage and Beyoncé gently tapped her on the arm.
