Beyonce and Jay-Z tour grosses $US250m

Beyoncé confirmed she was the real MVP of fall fashion (and, to be honest, probably everything else) when she blessed the world by dropping some new Instagram photos, including an achingly cool shoot on a basketball court.

In the shots, Beyoncé sports a black, double-breasted style dress blazer with dramatic, puffy bell sleeves and pearl embellishments. She finished off the look with black and pink jeweled mules with a chunky heel, a pair of dramatic graphic earrings, and a sleek hairdo with a single braid to finish it off. While Queen Bey’s look may not have been the most practical for hitting three-pointers, there’s no denying that her fierce sense of style went hard in the paint.

The tour sold 2,169,050 tickets for an average of 55,617 per show; each show’s average gross was $US6,514,120.69. The biggest payday was a two-night stand in Atlanta, which grossed $US14.1 million.

Just days after the tour started, the duo surprise-released their first joint album, “Everything Is Love”. And the couple’s marriage – so intimately documented on the trio of albums that began with Beyonce’s “Lemonade,” continued with Jay’s “4:44” and concluded with “Everything Is Love” – was unquestionably centre stage during the shows.
