END OF AN ERA

Posted Oct 19 2008 @ 03:11 PM

Paying homage to the show that propelled her to fame way back when Destiny’s Child was virtually unknown, Beyoncé Knowles made an appearance on MTV’s TRL in Times Square on Oct 14. Clad in a voluptuous Etro ‘fit, B put her look together with a sexy strapless mini dress with an intricately beaded skirt (try Zoa’s Ruffle Tunic in Black or Tricia Fix’s Marilyn Top in Black for similar varieties), shiny black leggings (like Laura Dahl’s Longfellows Leggings in Noir) and some seriously fierce black python boots. Flaunting what appear to be fresh extensions swept into a puffed up half ‘do, Beyoncé kept her look sleek and simple, opting for black nail polish as her only accessory. Though she’s stopped by the show many times before, this week was B’s last promotional appearance, as the epic teenie bopper show will be cancelled in November after a decade of hits. B returned to the show to garner interest for her two singles off her new album that dropped last week, “If I Were a Boy” and “Single Ladies.” B told the crowd on Tuesday, "I can remember being 16 or 17 when they asked us to be on the show, and it was our big moment," she recalled, referring to her debut appearance with her Destiny’s Child bandmates. B will have her chance to officially say goodbye next month, as she has already committed to performing on the final taping, Total Finale Live, on November 16. Sort of sad and sentimental that TRL is coming to an end, no?
