Beyonce Knowles

Before Beyoncé sang a single note at today's presidential inauguration, we were already floored by her incredible outfit — the singer arrived on the arm of husband Jay-Z and, in true Beyoncé fashion, left us breathless. Her black embellished Emilio Pucci gown was flawless, truly red-carpet worthy, and perfectly hugged her curves. Beyoncé beat the DC chill with a knee-length black Christian Dior coat (which she took off during her performance, giving us a detailed glimpse of that gorgeous dress), and accessorized the glamorous look with some Lorraine Schwartz emerald baubles — a pair of 80-carat emerald earrings and a 50-carat ring, to be exact. Let us also take a moment to appreciate Beyoncé's bright orange manicure, which not only popped perfectly against those green jewels, but also looked pretty great when holding a microphone.

Beyoncé Knowles's career is on fire as of late, and her sleek Grammys ponytail is straight in line with what seems to be the singer's perpetual hot streak. Wearing a bright red lipstick and flirty liner, Beyoncé looked even more sophisticated wearing the classic hairstyle. Hair wrapped around the base gave a polished feel.

Beyoncé Knowles had the company of her mom, Tina Knowles, as she touched down in New Orleans last Thursday. She's spending time in NOLA to rehearse for her Super Bowl halftime performance during the matchup between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Although it was rumored that her fellow Destiny's Child members, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland, would be joining her on stage at halftime, Michelle recently confirmed those reports were "not true." This Thursday, Beyoncé will hold a press conference to talk about the show, which she's been sharing sneak peeks of by posting rehearsal photos on her Instagram account.

Aside from her big Super Bowl debut, Beyoncé has a lot more to be excited about in the coming month. Beyoncé announced the launch of her new fragrance, Pulse NYC, and she shared a behind-the-scenes video from the campaign shoot. She's also starring in her upcoming HBO documentary.
