Beyonce Knowles had an intimate “I Am…” tour after-party, which took place at indigO2, following her own show at London’s O2 Arena this week.

Rihanna and Beyonce’s hubby Jay-Z, were both spotted at the after-tour party. Beyonce used the event to introduce little sister Solange, who performed several songs from latest album, ‘SoL-AngeL and The Hadley St. Dreams’.

It looks like it’s time to start putting together a “Beyonce’s Obsession - Balmain” post, because this girl can’t get enough of Christophe Decarnin’s designs.

On this occasion Bey wore a Balmain studded mini skirt, from the Spring 2009 collection, with a silver tank.

I love the look, but I would also like to see Bey wearing other designers before her look starts to becomes stale, and predictable.

I’m sure many of you will say she’s already stale and predictable.

It’s the battle we’ve all been waiting for. Bey vs. Ri Ri.

On the European leg of her tour, Beyonce took some time out to shop in the Balmain Paris store, followed by lunch with her mother.

Beyonce wore a Helmut Lang marble printed tank, with an embellished emerald green skirt, a black leather jacket, black peep-toe booties, and a stunning Iradj Moini necklace.

Rihanna wore summery white jeans with her Helmut Lang tank, when she was spotted leaving Da Silvano Restaurant, in New York a few weeks later.

Rihanna toughens up her look, adding slouchy black boots, a tailored cropped sleeve blazer, a Matthew Williamson printed scarf, a large snakeskin tote, and oversized sunglasses.

Rihanna’s ultra-luxe finish to her grunge-inspired look, wins for me.

Balmain has been everywhere recently, from it’s trendy crystal embellished jackets, to bottom skimming mini dresses.

Beyonce is a big fan. We’ve seen her in Barcelona wearing a white leather Balmain vest.

Also in New York wearing a stunning black gown for her ‘Obsessed’ movie premiere, and out to dinner in New York wearing a Seargeant Pepper-style jacket.

She’s currently in London, where she was spotted headed to Bungalow 8 nightclub on Sunday night. This time she was wearing a Balmain white linen military-style jacket.

This isn’t so much of a trophy jacket like the last heavily embellished Balmain jacket she wore, this one is much more versatile.

She looks good from the waist up. I never understood the appeal of denim look leggings.

Her sparkling Maison Martin Margiela’s Slouchy Disco Ball bag was found by Sxy Fashion Queen.

Mrs & Mrs Carter, aka Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles have been busy living it up in Barcelona.

The happy couple were spotted leaving a restaurant on Wednesday, both smiling from ear-to-ear. I guess they had a good lunch.

He was wearing a Gucci striped top, whilst she was wearing denim shorts, a simple white tank top, sexy patent strappy sandals, a white studded Balmain studded vest

This white leather studded vest embodies the spirit of the Balmain label. Plus, the vest is surprisingly versatile. You can take dress it up over a LBD, or dress it down with faded jeans and a tee, it looks great no matter what, as the lovely B shows us.

You can buy this vest from My Theresa for £3,811.11/€4,459/$6,064.24.

I love this look, it’s so relaxed, and most importantly none forced, and she really looks happy in these pictures.

Yesterday Beyonce was spotted taking in the sites of Vienna, wearing in a pair of YSL cage heels, which she teamed with J Brand Thrasher jeans, a white vest top, red polka dot bra, and a trilby hat.

You may remember that Rihanna wore these same jeans recently, which are available to purchase from Shopbop for $218.

The singer-actress wore a very lady-like Tadashi Shoji Fall 2009 satin dress, with a draped shoulder in desert blossom.

The gorgeous dress was worn without the jeweled detail on the shoulder, and without the black sash around the waist, which were both present on the runway.

She wore her dress with black patent YSL Trib Two’s, and I think this look was a great way for B to end a fantastic week.

It was the New York screening of her new thriller Obsessed last night, and for once she is going to make Best Dressed of the Week a very difficult choice, and I have NEVER said that about Beyonce.

Beyonce arrived wearing a Balmain Fall 2009 sequined dress, which had pointy neckline. The train was wrapped around her waist, then it cascades down to the ground with dramatic effect from her hips.

When I saw B in this dress, I was happy the hair was sleek and straight, waves or curls would have been too much.

The accessories are none fussy, none blingy, whilst the shoes are patent Louboutin pumps.

I’m totally in love with her here, in case you didn’t pick up on my gushing. ♥

Miley, Kate Beyonce….Hmmm, it’s going to another tough choice this week.
