LETTERMAN LOVE

Posted Apr 23 2009 @ 09:03 PM

Not letting a few spring showers cramp her style, Beyoncé Knowles arrived at the Ed Sullivan Theatre in NYC on April 22 dressed to impress. B is hot on the promo trail gearing up for the release of her new thriller Obsessed this Friday, and made her way to the theatre to tape an appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman" via a chauffeured SUV. B arrived to tape the show sans bangs, pretty much confirming that the look she's been sporting for the past week or two was courtesy of a wig. Hey, at least she still looks good even if she's faking it! Though she changed into a different frock for the show, Beyonce arrived looking fabulous in a cerulean Elie Saab dress (get the look with Gold Hawk's gorgeous new Rose Spaghetti Dress in Tiffany Blue or Poko Pano's glam Arabella Long Dress in Turquoise) under an elegant ruffled overcoat (Suzabelle's Nicolet Trench Coat in Classic Taupe has a linen-like feel that is perfect for spring). My favorite part: B's gorgeous gold "Odyssey" peep-toes from Ruthie Davis' Fall 2009 collection. How fun are the purple soles and funky gems, chains and bolts decorating the toe and heel? B's sexy style comes with an unforgiving pricetag, however: $1295 for these babies, and you won't be able to purchase them until the summer. If any of you have worn Ruthie's heels you know they're worth the extra cash for the unparalleled comfort, but are any of you making spring and summer fashion splurges like this right now? Back to B, if any of you are Howard Stern fans, you might have heard him bashing her earlier this week. He aired a clip he claimed was an unfinished "board mix" of B's performance of "If I were a Boy" on The Today Show last year, which was basically a horrible screeching voice mutilating Beyoncé's hit single. Of course the authenticity was immediately challenged, and B's manager-dad fired back at Howie: “At 12 years into [Beyoncé's] career, the last thing someone should be questioning is her vocal ability. That would be like questioning if Kobe Bryant could shoot a jump shot. The vocals were obviously altered.” Even B laughed off the criticism: “[The story] sounds completely ridiculous. Everyone’s heard me sing and it’s perfect timing, actually, because I’ll be on the Today show tomorrow singing ‘Halo,’ or tonight you can watch me sing live on David Letterman! It’s perfect promotion, whoever came up with that idea.” Did any of you catch Beyoncé singing last night on Letterman?
