Beyoncé is rarely seen out of an embellished Balmain leotard and lace-up thigh-high boots, but this time, she has really pushed the boat out even by her standards.

Queen Bey has dropped a gob-smacking £200,000 on a pair of shoes to wear in her upcoming music video, due out this autumn.


The House of Borgezie Princess Constellation stilettoes are the work of British designer Christopher Michael Shellis and are encrusted with 1,290 diamonds. So far, so lavish. But Queen Bey didn’t stop there. Why would you? She also bought a belt from the collection for a cool £55,000.
 
Luckily the shoes come with a 1,000-year guarantee, making them booty-shaking proof for future Carter generations.
 
Here are some other things you could buy for £200,000, should you find yourself with some extra cash to splash:
 
A two-bedroom cottage in Cornwall
A 200mph Ferrari 488 GTB supercar (but sadly you’ll have to wait until it’s unveiled this September)
28 Hermes Birkin bags
223 pairs of Christian Louboutin embellished leather pumps
57,142 Pret a Manger Berry Blast smoothies (although we wouldn’t recommend it)
50,000 copies of the ELLE September issue which goes on-sale this week.
