Jay Z and Beyonce Knowles took a trip to France recently. Set to release her new album “4“, B will head to the UK afterwards as the headliner of the annual Glastonbury Festival. The couple caused a bit of airport chaos as you’d imagine. Beyonce was rocking J Brand Agnes jeans in Stealth, Helmut Lang Soft White Relic Blazer, Gianmarco Lorenzi Decollete Peep Toe Pumps, Super Sunglasses, and a Melissa Odabash Panama Hat. The black and white ensemble was dapper, but just like Nicole Richie’s all-black parade, it lacks the luster of summer. Still, her soft-tailored jacket and coated semi-shine jeans are an adorable match, and emit an almost vintage charm we can envision in an old film.

Beyonce, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga- All Divas without a doubt. However there seems to be some competition from across the Atlantic. Katherine Jenkins may yet become Britain’s one competitor to these women’s thrones. Having broken records, picked up plaudits, been littered with awards, sold multi-platinum scales of recordings and played at every single one of the highest profile sporting tournaments in the British calendar, Ms Jenkins has completed her work in the classical/crossover field.
She is definitely looking the part of diva in these Superfine Blondie Jeans.
