Beyonce wears $110 dress to Topshop opening in NYC: adorable or budget?

FFN_GG_TopShop_Dinner_110414_51576548

Beyonce was out and about last night! Beyonce went to the opening of Topshop’s new flagship store in NYC. Bey has worked with Topshop before (she licensed the use of her music for Topshop and starred in an ad campaign), and she’s doing a collaboration with them again to launch Parkwood Topshop Athletic, sportswear for The Hive. For last night’s appearance, Beyonce actually deigned to wear one of Topshop’s inexpensive dresses – this black sequined number (with a terrible back zipper) costs £68, or about $110.

Beyonce looks great, right? I love her new short hairstyle – this is so much more flattering on her than the baby-bangs and the long, blonde hair. She always looks great when she’s got some volume around her face. I’ve heard some rumors that Beyonce might be pregnant again as well. What do you think? I actually thought she looked a little bit knocked up in these pics, but when I looked for any legit outlet claiming that she’s definitely knocked up. I guess it’s just random speculation, although her boobs look bigger to me.

Meanwhile, Forbes just announced that Beyonce made crazy money in 2014 – she reportedly earned $115 million from album sales and ticket sales. So of course someone is trying to take her money! TMZ reports that a singer named Ahmad Javon Lane is suing Bey because he claims he wrote a song called “XOXO” which Beyonce then homage’d into her hit song “XO”. He wants $3 million. You can hear his song here.

I’m also including photos of Hailee Steinfeld, Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton and Cara Delevingne, all of whom were at the Topshop opening. Cara is the current face of Topshop!

    Now she’s Kate Moss. Sure.

  2. liab23 says:

    why does this dress / shirt cost 110$???

    makes no sense for this price tag

    • FLORC says:

      I haet i’m so adjusted to this price, but that’s pretty standard. I can’t see too much of the dress, but dresses those sizes are standard 100 starting point. It’s horrible, but people pay.

    • Val says:

      Topshop is terrible quality, you can get an actual quality designer dress at that price on places like The Outnet. *gag*

    • Ally8 says:

      Yes, their fabrics and finishes are getting worse and worse, while the prices rise. I still stop by the Oxford Street HQ for fun, but I never shop on their site.

  3. Size Does Matter says:

    It’s neither adorable nor budget, it’s business.

  4. Sullivan says:

    Hailee has grown into a lovely young woman. Bey looks good. Isn’t Cara the face of just about everything? It certainly seems like it.

  5. AlexandriaTheGreat says:

    If she looks “knocked-up” it’s only because these photos haven’t been photoshopped to high-heaven they were hers normally tend to be.

    • Lulu says:

      The wig looks awful, the lengths not flattering to her face , especially the colour way to light blond .
      And I don’t like Beyonce when she wears such heavy make up , besides it ages her.
      She looks younger , prettier with a more natural face.

  6. LAK says:

    I’m always amazed anyone older than mid-teens can find anything decent in Topshop.

  7. Liz says:

    Cara looks amazing in that dress.

  8. Kiddo says:

    She looks adorable in that dress. The only thing I don’t like about it is the poorly constructed zipper design.

  9. Abbott says:

    She does seem to be posing a lot like Mimi in these photos.

  10. shunty says:

    Beyoncé wears a lot of topshop. I know this cos I’m a fan and because those dream closet accounts on twitter keep tweeting about her outfits and where to get them.
    XO was written by Ryan Tedder (writer of Halo) and The Dream not Beyoncé so methinks this person wants money

  11. Hissyfit says:

    Beyonce’s outfit looks alright. Nothing special. Cara’s outfit however is fabulous! Hailee’s outfit is very chic too!

  12. Neelyo says:

    I’ve never thought she was pretty. Mainly because there just never seems to be anything going on behind the eyes.

  13. KinChicago says:

    I think she looks fantastic. Betcha the Beyonce dress is selling for a crazy inflated price on EBay right now!

  14. Mia V. says:

    Paris stole Madonna’s glove.

    • Lempicka says:

      Muhaaha thought the same. Her styling looks more and more out of touch (not that it was ever great- or tasteful)

  15. snowflake says:

    i love her hair! her dress is cute too

  16. Jenna says:

    I am so happy to hear that Beyoncé wears something that everyone else can afford! Hurrah!

  17. Sarah says:

    Beyonce looks like Tyra Banks.

  18. Calcifer says:

    I don’t know about the dress, I like that it is simple at least, but I LOVE a bob haircut on Beyonce! It flatters her so much. The fact that she returns to it must mean that she knows it looks good on her, I hope she will keep it longer this time. The eye make-up is beautiful too. The shoes are awful and almost ruin the whole look…

  19. lucy2 says:

    She looks cute and I like her shorter hair.
    Those Hilton sisters have not aged well.

    • doofus says:

      co-sign on both opinions. I’m not a huge Bey fan but I think she looks really pretty here. the shorter hair really looks good.

      and, TBH, I would have thought that the person ID’d as Paris Hilton was a male Paris Hilton-impersonator. she looks TERRIBLE.

    • HH says:

      Really?! I think the Hilton sisters look exactly the same.

    • Denise says:

      If Paris thinks she’s going to ‘happen’ again, she’s got another thing coming.

  20. pnichols says:

    why does everyone look angry?

  21. Diana says:

    I will be the first to admit that I am cheap as hell. The most expensive “special occasion” clothes I own are work suits and traditional cultural clothing, the most expensive everyday clothes I own are jeans, because a good pair of jeans can last you a lifetime (as long as you don’t gain weight). I am cheap when it comes to clothes. I love fashion. I’m on fashion blogs all the time but I can never bring myself to spend a lot of money on clothes.

    The most expensive dress I’ve ever bought (that wasn’t a traditional outfit) was $79…and that was because it was a one of kind 1950’s couture outfit I found in a consignment store. Single most expensive impulse buy when it comes to clothes and I loved it so much I picked it up even though I can fit in it. lol. Maybe one day.

    How cheap am I?

    • Kiddo says:

      An expensive classic suit can be a good investment. I have seriously tamped down impulse purchases, in general, in proportion to the economy. I ask frequently question my own motivation of need versus want, and the cost comparative to life enhancing value or how long is this thing going to make me happy in contrast to the cost.

    • Ag says:

      you’re not. $110 is a ton of money in my book for a dress. the most expensive article of clothing i’ve ever bought for myself was my wedding dress, at $170, off ebay (it was a new jcrew wedding dress, with tags, which sells for $800 and up). i’m cheap AND don’t have the money to spend on clothes. 🙂

    • Ginger says:

      I’m with you 100%. The most expensive dress I’ve ever purchased was my wedding dress and even that was on sale! I love fashion but hate high prices.

    • ab says:

      I’m cheap too, though I prefer the word “frugal”. 🙂 I’m a discount clearance shopper, my usual haunts being tj maxx, burlington coat factory, and the like. I’ve never been able to spend money on clothes. my mom is a total clothes horse but she taught me from a young age that it’s not how much the clothes cost, it’s how you wear them!

      that said, I do own one pair of j brand jeans. they were $118, a price that still makes me cringe. and I hardly ever wear them. my every day jeans are cheap and easily replaceable.

  22. bns says:

    Love what Hailee and Cara are wearing. I love that bob on Bey.

  23. Spinny says:

    I think she looks so cute in that sequined lil dress and both Paris and Nicki are looking rather nice. Nicky is engaged to a very rich dude, if I am not mistaken. I think the last lady’s outfit is nice and I love love her shoes.

    Cara is not appealing to me, whatsoever.

  24. danielle says:

    Hailee looks great!

  25. Ag says:

    beyonce looks great. and her hair is way better now than the unfortunate bangs wigs she was sporting.

  26. Aye Gee says:

    I think she looks great! BTW Beyoncé wears a LOT of TopShop. It’s cool to see things I’ve bought on her lol.

  27. Sisi says:

    something about Bey’s silhouette looks strange, is she wearing a corset or something?

    The hair is nice, altho I think a side part suits her better (like in the Drunk in Love vid).

  28. Len says:

    Did she get het lips done?

    • whatsmyname? says:

      It looks like it right? It was the first thing I noticed, I guess it could be liner, plumper or something but it doesn’t really look like her regular lips.

    • Eleonor says:

      Glad I am not the only one who have noticed this.

    • BoredAndExtremelyDangerous says:

      I asked about her lips a couple of weeks ago and got shot down. I’m sure she’s had some work done.

  29. Kcarp says:

    That would be the most expensive dress I own

  30. Frodo lives says:

    Just to throw out some positivity in this post: Beyoncé looks awesome! What a bargain for someone who’s a millionaire.

    • word says:

      Excuse me, don’t you mean Billionaire? LOL.

      She looks good. I do think she looks best when she’s wearing minimal make-up though. Her eyes are beautiful on their own, that dark liner doesn’t do them justice.

    • Frodo lives says:

      *BILLIONAIRE*

  31. maddelina says:

    Wish she’d lose the clown hair!

  32. Stephanie says:

    I like her makeup, and the dress is cute. Not crazy about the hair. But Cara’s legs look fabulous.

  33. TOPgirl says:

    Beyonce be looking harsh lately. Unhappy perhaps. It’s showing.

  34. Nikki L. says:

    Looks like Paris is trying to make Painted Orange skin a thing again.
