American singer Beyonce made a surprise appearance at the TIDAL X: Brooklyn concert presented by Bacardi at the Barclays Center, flashing some cleavage and a little leg in a custom Walter Mendez dress. Styled by Zerina Akers (whose counts actress Niecy Nash as a client), Beyoncé completed her look with Christian Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz and OFIRA jewels. She carried a limited edition Alexander Wang x Judith Leiber clutch, designed to resemble a roll of hundred-dollar bills, which retails for $4,995 and includes 10,263 Swarovski Austrian crystals in various colors. (On Instagram, Leiber called their collaboration “an irreverent take on the luxury evening bag.”)
Dressing Beyoncé was a major feat for Walter Mendez, who shared several photos of the pop star wearing his design on Instagram. “Could not have celebrated my birthday any better than to seeing the gorgeous @beyonce looking flawless in this custom #waltercollection design we created for her!” Mendez told his followers, adding, “Special thank you to stylist @zerinaakers.”

The “Sandcastles” singer, 36, did not identify who designed her purple fur stole.
Beyoncé was not scheduled to appear onstage, as she has in past years. Her husband Jay-Z reiterated as much when he rapped a few songs at the end of the star-studded benefit concert. He even performed the couple’s 15-year-old duet “’03 Bonnie & Clyde,” toying with their fans. “Sike!” he laughed. “Y’all think Bey is coming out or something, but we ain’t doing that tonight.”
