Beyoncé Just Took the Ultimate Art-Selfie in This Luxury L.A. Concept Store


When Beyoncé and Blue Ivy go shopping, it’s bound to make headlines. And this week Just One Eye, the luxury boutique in Los Angeles, was the destination for their mommy-and-me adventures. Founded by former Maxfield artistic director Paola Russo, the store has gained cult status thanks to its unique mix of contemporary art and high fashion, and Beyoncé took full advantage of the space’s stunning collection of paintings. With Blue Ivy serving as photographer, she took the ultimate art-selfie in front of a work by Gary Lang. In Marques’Almeida’s striped jumper and matching pants, Beyoncé coordinated perfectly with the backdrop of reds and greens on Lang’s circular canvas.

Never one to skimp on accessories, Beyoncé added on a micro bag from Jacquemus and Oxydo eyewear’s circular sunglasses to complete her look. The end result was an eye-catching outfit immortalized with a multi-photo Instagram post that showed off each element, from the teensy purse to her outsize gemstone rings—each connecting back to the colors of Lang’s work. Designers often draw their inspiration from the gallery space, but it’s rare to see a celebrity do so. Whether her artsy take on dressing was the result of happenstance or careful planning, it made for a refreshing style moment.
