Pop diva Beyonce kicked off the November 9th, 2008 World Music Awards in Monte Carlo, Monaco with drama and style.
Beyonce, a devout fan of British fashion designer Alexander McQueen, wore a getup from his Fall 2008 military-inspired collection and rocked it with cache, panache and a bad-ass femme fatale attitude.
The diva wore her Gareth Pugh Freddy Krueger-like hand accessories as she performed "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)."
Dresslikestarz noted, "Beyonce opted for a gold detailing and ornate trims set off slick military cut jacket from Alexander McQueen, perked up with shiny skinny leggings from Temperley London and strappy golden killer heels to create an ultimate military rock chic style!"
