Beyoncé threatened to steal the show at Wednesday’s premiere of the new Netflix film The Harder They Fall when she arrived in a sizzling black dress.
The 40-year-old singer looked as glamorous ever in her busty off-the-shoulder look at the Western revenge thriller’s opening night premiere at the BFI London Film Festival.
The wife of Jay-Z — who produced the film — kept a low-profile at the premiere but shared some exquisite photos of herself to her Instagram later in the evening.
