There was no way Beyoncรฉ was going to miss hubby Jay-Z's first gig at Carnegie Hall on Monday night. The new mom made a huge splash just walking into the show, her first public appearance since the birth of Blue Ivy Carter last month.
Wearing a form-fitting Alice by Temperley dress, 4-inch Christian
Louboutin heels and holding a gold Alexander McQueen clutch, the singer
looked in fighting form for her big night out. According to the New York Daily News, at an afterparty at Jay's 40/40 club, she reportedly said, "It was amazing," when asked about Jigga's show.
The newspaper said he chilled out after the concert by having a
celery-and-champagne snack and threw his arms around Bey as she greeted
him in the middle of the club just before midnight. They then went up to
the VIP section and hung out with Nas and Santigold.
It was the capper to a historic night for Jay, who filled the Stern
Auditorium at Carnegie Hall for the first of two benefit concerts for
the Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation and the United Way to raise
money for gifted high school students who need financial assistance to
attend college.
Backed by a full orchestra that included Roots drummer ?uestlove
and Young Guru playing DJ, Hov took the stage just before 9 p.m. in a
white tux jacket and holding a bottle of champagne. Jay began the night
by shouting the iconic line from his 2003 song "Public Service
Announcement" in which he declares "allow me to reintroduce myself, my
name is Hov."
Among the guests who joined him over the course of the show were
Alicia Keys and Nas, but the one cameo everyone was waiting for was
Blue's cooing in the song "Glory,"
which Jay released just days after his daughter's birth.
