Beyonce made a surprise appearance at the BFI London Film Festival and – as only Beyonce can do – low-key broke the internet in her latest show-stopping gown.
The superstar stepped out in a black velvet dress from Albanian couture designer Valdrin Sahiti, who has already dressed the likes of Winnie Harlow, Bella Thorne, and Chrissy Teigen. The strapless  floor-sweeping dress, featured a cinched-waist bodice, a signature staple of Sahiti’s designs.

Bey attended the premiere with husband Jay-Z, who is currently in London to celebrate the release of his Netflix film, where he makes his debut producer role, The Harder They Fall. The movie, a directorial debut for Londoner Jeymes Samuel, has a cast led by Idris Elba, and showcases an array of black talent portraying real-life historical characters from the Old West in a fictional plot.

If saying ‘Beyonce and Valdrin Sahiti’ in the same sentence rings a sartorial bell or two, you may remember that the mother-of-three dialed up the glamour back in January 2020, when she wore a red satin number from the house to P Diddy’s 50th birthday party. She accessories her look with sparkling Louboutin accessories.

The 2021 BFI London Film Festival is running until 17 October, so here’s to plenty more red-carpet evenings – and hopefully to more Beyonce.
