While Beyoncé certainly knows how to make a big splash in or out of the water, the singer’s high-fashion moment on the high seas is making all sorts of new waves. Enjoying a freewheeling jet-ski excursion in Italy yesterday with husband Jay Z, the singer eschewed a bikini in favor of a dramatic floor-length gown—a look that gives a whole new meaning to the concept of jet-setting. Whizzing along the surf in the sheer embroidered number, she jumped from wave to wave with abandon.
Although her safety helmet concealed the head wrap she had tied around her head, her shiny gold shades were more than pronounced as they deflected the sun’s glare. Quite the fashion-forward approach to water sports, Bey s prêt-à-ski style glammed up the favorite tourist pastime and is bound to set off a ripple effect. Red carpet dressing on the beach, anyone?
