Beyonce makes a dazzling return to the stage at Revel

In her first concert performance after giving birth to Blue Ivy, Beyonce commanded the stage only as " Sasha Fierce" can. The sold out Memorial Day Weekend performances were held at the Revel Resort and Casino in Atlantic City.




Beyonce admitted to having nervous performance jitters prior to hitting the stage, however rave reviews about the show continue to buzz. She worked hard to return her post baby body to its previous state in 5 short months since giving birth. I must say Bey looks amazing!

The Costumes

Beyonce's stage costumes were exclusivley designed by Ralph and Russo. The couture pieces were embellished with 500,000 Swarovski crystal elements by 20 couteriers and took an astounding 4 weeks to make.  “Beyoncé wanted us to be really creative and create fun and edgy designs that had an ultra-glamorous feel to them”- Tamara Ralph designer Ralph and Russo

Trending: Floral Denim

In addition to the bright jean trend is the feminine yet sexy floral printed denim/bottoms trend. From soft hues on a white background to traditional denim washes for major contrast and impact; floral jeans make a chic statement. Combined with a solid bright top or crisp white, these jeans are fresh summer look. Several premium denim designers offer their take in skinny, cropped and also shorts. How would you rock them?

MoMA Garden Party: Solange Knowles

Solange Knowles was guest and DJ at the after party for Tuesday night's Museum of Modern Art annual Garden Party Benefit in NYC. Solange looked pretty chic, as usual in a one leg floral print and blazer combination by Italian  fashion and textile designer Flaminia Saccuci and nude pumps

“A little peekaboo is a lot sexier than putting it all out there,” Solange said of her floral print dress. “Touch it, “It’s latex.”
