After a long work week for us all, sometimes it’s the little things like spending time with your family and close friends during a holiday that matter. But when you’re Beyoncé, the little things turn out to be not so… little, especially when your birthday falls on a holiday weekend. The birthday diva took things to the era of disco decadence with a Soul Train themed birthday party. A slew of our favorite celebs were spotted in the building in their best seventies garb, and as usual, we’ve got the skinny on this get down!
The Carters came through in style. Jay-Z sported a paisley printed button-down and Beyoncé rocked a long, brocade Ashish coat to conceal her first of several outfits for the evening. Loving the big, curly hair and those $795 Giueseppe Zanotti Gold ‘Lavinias’!
Solange, her son Julez, and husband Alan Ferguson were snapped entering the fête. Solange layered a bright green leather coat over a rose-quartz colored robe, and finished the look with Paula Cademartori sandals. Julez looked the part in a mustard colored plaid suit and white sneakers. Alan was fly in an apricot colored suit with wide peak lapels on the blazer. Aren’t they #wardrobegoals?
The “Godiva Goddess”, Kelly Rowland, was all smiles and ready to party with husband, Tim Witherspoon. The pair matched in shades of brown, Kelly STUNNINGLY gave Donna Summer realness in a shimmering, bronze low cut jumpsuit, cinched at the waist with a sash. Tim donned an afro, shiny brown bowling shirt and a pair of Saucony sneakers. I like it!
Michelle Williams gave a nod to Cher, baring her midriff in a custom Tyler Wells sequined halter bandeau top and flared, sequined-stripe trousers. She rounded out this saucy look with a $1,150 Saint Laurent ‘Kate’ Monogram silver clutch and $485 Stuart Weitzman ‘Hijinx’ silver heels.
Carmelo Anthony and wife, Lala, walk hand in hand as they get ready to join in on the festivities. Carmelo channeled his inner hippie in a short-sleeve printed shirt with peach pants and a scarf tied around his afro. Lala brought disco back with her disco ball inspired Bedford Street Laundry two-piece ensemble and $1,095 Saint Laurent ‘Candies’ Studded Platform Sandals.
Given how much Serena Williams has been absolutely slaying at the US Open, the tennis phenom celebrated with Bey during a break before the quarterfinals begin. Serena sported Black Panther inspired garb, and we are here for all of it, sequined shorts included.
It’s clear Usher loves a themed party. The R&B crooner looked like a 70’s rock band member with his perfectly picked afro, long, gold jacquard coat, red tuxedo pants and cowboy boots. Play on, playa!
But Diddy may just have Usher beat. Diddy came to show everyone how seriously he takes his party going. He stole the show in a black lace shirt a $1,100 Gucci Studded Leather Belt, $890 Gucci Herbarium Printed Skinny Pants, and a wig with bounce Farrah Fawcett would envy. Cassie was also in tow, rocking a jacquard dress with $990 Gucci Black Leather Platform Pumps.
Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys weren’t too far behind. Swizz, who spent some time on the ones and twos, was fly as ever in a burgundy Kangol cap, sunglasses, grey glen-plaid trousers and a pair of Converse sneakers. Alicia grinned for the camera while wearing a fringed vintage tee, flared jeans and wooden clogs.
Hey Jourdan! The supermodel and “Yonce” girl beamed as she sashayed into the venue. She paired her big Diana Ross inspired hair with a Balmain red cutout jumpsuit.
Janelle Monae was psychadelic in houndstooth from head to toe. The peacoat, high-waisted mini skirt and pageboy cap in this dizzying print were offset by neon pink lipstick. She never gets it wrong in black and white! Nate “Rocket” Wonder continued the black and white motif in a striped shirt and cropped black trousers.
Kendrick Lamar and his fiancée, Whitney Alford, were in attendance, in their best soul seventies wear. This abstract geometric coat with the fur trim is everything I need right now.
Chance The Rapper was set to let loose in a vintage graphic tee, flared blue pants, and vintage sneakers.
Chloe x Halle say they’ve got soul. Chloe slayed in a turquoise jumpsuit and gold platforms while Halle sported an afro, sequined shorts and thigh high boots.
And last, but not least, is June Ambrose, who, of course, came to slay in a Helen Yarmak Feathered Cape and a Limpasse Couture tribal patterned black jumpsuit. That honey-hued afro…everything!
Fun times were had by all! For more, scroll below for a few Instagram pics, snapped from inside the festivities. Once again, from Fashion Bomb Daily, we wish Queen Bey a very happy birthday! Love, peace, and soul!
