Beyoncé dropped by the United Nations today to tape her “I Was Here” video in support of World Humanitarian Day. The diva let everyone know that indeed, she is here, in a $2,395 ivory Alexander McQueen bell sleeve dress and colorblock peeptoe pumps.
Her ultra chic belted wool crepe frock has a plunging neckline and on-trend peplum detail.
Here it is in black:
Wow! She looks amazing. I love this clean, tailored, feminine look on Bey. Immaculate from head to toe!
If you’re up for the splurge, you can get a burgundy version of her dress here.
What do you think?

She looks stunning, loving the glowy tan.
August 10, 2012 9:44 pm
Am I the only one who sees the irony/hypocrisy in her showing up to an humanitarian event in which she’s trying to convince average jane and joes to donate their already-stretched-too-thin, hard-earned money to charity while she, an over-paid, multi-millionaires, is wearing on outfit that costs half a year’s rent for some people?

so i guess if your comment does not kiss beyonce’s butt it will not post?
August 10, 2012 9:58 pm
didn’t say anything disrespectful. i just think its hypocritical to wear such an expensive dress to such an event
August 10, 2012 9:58 pm

August 10, 2012 10:02 pm
I’m through with this site! as much as i like claire, i can’t deal with this censorship. just because i’m not a beyonce obsessor, i didn’t say anything rude or disrespectful yet my comment will not post. I will not be coming back to this website ever again.

@Lola_Uk I was gone all night, watching Beyonce perform at the United Nations. Sometimes comments get caught in spam and I have to manually approve them. I’ll do it now. Noone is censoring you, please calm down.
August 10, 2012 10:06 pm
So don’t, who cares…Beyonce looks great. Your comment was probably out of order. Kudos to Fashionbomb to block it.
August 10, 2012 10:07 pm
Claire, no apologies needed..it’s not that serious. Lola needs to calm down!
August 10, 2012 10:11 pm
Lmao! @lola_uk Chileeee, just say she looks nice and keep it moving nobody was even putting that much thought into it. Sheesh! But the fact that you got that mad and kept commenting really made my night. Beyonce’ looks fab! Werk werk werk diva!
August 10, 2012 10:23 pm
Beyonce is murking the game, well done lady.
lol @lola_uk : all your comments are above, like it or not, mostly not.
August 10, 2012 10:32 pm
Not her posting over 10x tho.
Poor dat….
August 10, 2012 10:33 pm
Gorgeous!!!!
August 10, 2012 10:40 pm
She looks fab. icant with all these comments, ma’am
August 10, 2012 10:50 pm
LOLA_uk, shouldn’t have been approved. She was going HAM because she wanted to post her hate? Because she is wearing a dress you can’t afford, does not discount from your efforts. She is wealthy, no need to tone it down to be on your level. I hate to see people bash wealthy individuals because they’re too far ahead. When you see success you should be inspired. Don’t get upset because you’re trailing behind in life. You can honestly see where your self-worth is measured. Because, if you had any kind of understanding of life’s worth you wouldn’t be concerned with the money these individuals have in the bank rather than their efforts. You’re still losing in life, and that’s based on your comments.
Claire, next time you see this foolery on your blog please do not post. You run a respectable site; unlike “Theybf”, “Sandrarose”, “mediatakeout”. Those are the sites people who are sucking in life should troll.
August 10, 2012 11:07 pm
looool @lola_uk. Still trying, huh? Girl, give up. No need to keep coming back to posts about them and spewing your shade “fifty-leven” times, okay? We get it. You don’t like Beyonce and Solange. Move along.
Moving on…I think Ms. Beyonce looks fabulous. A true vision in white!
And from checking out Claire’s tweets, it seems she killed it at UN! Awesome. But that’s to be expected. Cant wait to see the video and CNN piece. Glad she got involved, no matter how much money the dress cost, because this is an important cause. It’s always good to give back and help others. And I’m sure this is not the first time a rich celebrity has worn something expensive (to us) to an important charity event. Good for B and I’m glad you went and had a good time, Claire! :)
August 10, 2012 11:14 pm
@lola_uk – you mad, huh?
August 10, 2012 11:16 pm
LOL @Lola_uk. You need to have several seats and take a chill pill. I can’t believe my eyes. Ha.
August 10, 2012 11:17 pm
Oh, Beyonce looks great by the way.
August 10, 2012 11:29 pm
Lol at you Lola_uk, was it really that deep? You didnt honestly think Bey was gonna wear an ensemble from Target to the United Nations? Or did you o_O
August 11, 2012 12:07 am
lola, go seat down
August 11, 2012 12:08 am
yass she loks amazing
August 11, 2012 12:17 am
Beyonce looks beautiful from head to toe.
August 11, 2012 2:24 am
Perfection
August 11, 2012 2:42 am
i love when she wears her hair pulled back. simply stunning!
August 11, 2012 9:23 am
Beyonce looks sooo gorgeous. lmao is she supposed to wear a forever 21 dress? she has money. there’s nothing wrong with wearing what you can AFFORD. that doesn’t make her efforts any less greater.
August 11, 2012 9:57 am
Beyonce looks absolutely stunning, as always! I don’t care what anyone says, she will always be THE QUEEN B!
August 11, 2012 10:15 am
Beyonce looks stunning. Although, we have to admit that lola’s comment is true. The whole situation seems…ironic. However, since this is a fashion blog and we are not here to talk about politics I would not have brought it up.
August 11, 2012 10:22 am
Lola you are pressed and butt hurt lmaooo
Take your raggedy ann self to mto/sandra rose
Bey looks gorgeous , love the tan and dress.
August 11, 2012 10:24 am
@Lola bring up an excellent point!! Even though we all love and appreciate fashion we cannot loose our ability to be critical thinkers :)
Beyonce looks great as usual, I wish she would donate to my grad school charity ;-)
August 11, 2012 10:25 am
@Lola_ uk This is a fashion site comment on her clothes and keep it moving. And by the way love this look. Very classy. She looks amazing
August 11, 2012 10:43 am
I get what lola was saying…but being that pressed makes her look kinda pathetic. Just saying. I wanta knock off lol 3k is not in my budget, but its a hot dress
August 11, 2012 11:23 am
LMBO, oh Lola. Your point will now be overshadowed by your overzealousness to prove it.
Beyoncé looks GORGEOUS! And for her, that dress probably is like shopping at Forever 21. You don’t have to be rich OR play poor to be a humanitarian.
August 11, 2012 12:12 pm
Exquisite!
August 11, 2012 12:41 pm
Beyonce and her husband are worth $78 million, she can wear a $3,000 dress and save a small country before lunch time and still have loads of cash to do it again the next day.
August 11, 2012 12:48 pm
I understand what Lola was saying in her 47 posts, however, if Bey had shown up in a “cheap” dress then you wouldve said she was just wearing that for a charity event.
Anyway, I think Bey looks absolutely stunning! Ive also seen the closeups of her performance dress and she shut it down the entire night!
August 11, 2012 2:32 pm
She looks beautiful in white both dresses that she wore were fly.
August 11, 2012 3:01 pm
no really a fan of the sleeves on the dress but the make up is good go king bey!
August 11, 2012 3:03 pm
n what happen to her braids i was just getting use to them
August 11, 2012 6:13 pm
I love to see Beyoncé in simple & elegant looks, she looks truly stunning.
August 11, 2012 6:23 pm
I love it, she looks polished…beautiful.
She has worked for her money so she can spend it how she chooses. The problem is when you buy out of your means…she’s good. lol
August 11, 2012 7:39 pm
Claire and Child Please, y’all are too funny.;p Lola…damn girl I bet you feel real foolish for typing your comment over 13 times and they all finally post. Sheesh…relax girl, if it bothers you that bad why don’t you try becoming a spokesperson for the charity. Believe me they knew exactly how Beyonce would show up to their event (dressed to the nines) and they know she draws an audience and money. She looked so gorgeous and classy. If that’s how much she wants to pay for a dress, that’s her business and she definitely has the dough to do it.
August 11, 2012 10:50 pm
I have never been able to compliment Beyonce on any of her fashion choice, but you can’t argue with perfection, gone B!!! She looks phenomenal!!
August 12, 2012 9:36 am
The earrings that she wore to her appearance at the UN a few days ago received alot of negative publicity as it was considered ghetto/ inappropriate/over the top.
Given that, I understand why she would splurge on such a beautiful dress. She looks immaculate, very good comeback (if you ask me). She looks great.
August 12, 2012 2:42 pm
I love the dress very classy go B
August 13, 2012 7:06 am
I love me some Beyonce’!! ..but thoses chunky highlights are bothering me… please blend it some more Beyonce’s hairstylist!
August 13, 2012 9:53 am
LOL You all stay exaggerating when it comes to Beyonce, the suit is nice, nothing to be dying over!
August 13, 2012 10:38 am
LOL Shaunie re: Lola…but so true. I think Bey chose the perfect dress to let the humanitarian cause be the Star of the show. Also keep in mind that Bey not the one telling us how much her clothes cost…
August 13, 2012 1:32 pm
Everyone give @lola_uk a round of applause for looking like a dumb a**! CTFU!
August 13, 2012 1:37 pm
Very Pretty :)
