Beyoncé is ever the diva as she SKIPS her own red carpet at the Renaissance film world premiere but is spotted inside with daughter Blue Ivy – as her A-list pals and family pose for snaps
Beyoncé failed to walk the red carpet at her own film world premiere for her Renaissance world tour as her A-list friends and family came to support her.
The singer, 42, was spotted by onlookers at the event with her eldest daughter Blue Ivy, 11, confirming she attended the screening.
While her friends happily posed for photos, Beyonce stayed out of the spotlight and opted for a low-key arrival at the premiere celebrating her new film.
The screening took place at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater and attracted a star-studded audience, including her Destiny’s Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams.
It was a private affair where guests received a “save the date” invitation that stated only the time and a dress code asking for “convivial opulence.”

According to Varietythe theater’s location was not revealed to Beyoncé’s guests until 24 hours before the screening took place.
The publication reported that guests were advised to “take a ride to an address in Beverly Hills, where they would then be directed to the screening location.”
Beyoncé didn’t come by, the lights in the theater were dimmed. An announcer then told guests that no photos or recordings were allowed.
Beyonce’s guests also included Lizzo, Janelle Monáe and Lori Harvey.
The Hollywood heavyweights descended on the location to catch a first glimpse of the film, based on the pop icon’s record-breaking tour last summer.
Exuding Old Hollywood glamour, Lizzo looked stunning in her white satin dress and matching opera gloves, while Kelly dazzled in a silver metallic showstopper.
Janelle was a polka dot diva in her unique wardrobe choice, while Lori dared to impress in a black snakeskin mini dress.
Other members of Tinseltown’s best and brightest doing their best to channel “cozy opulence” included Gabrielle Union, The Little Mermaid star Halle Bailey, Blackish star Marsai Martin, Laverne Cox, Niecy Nash-Betts and Tina Knowles.
Michelle took the plunge in a bold black number.
The band was also joined by Destiny’s Child founders LaToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson, making it a rare occasion that all five girl group members were under the same roof.

And although Beyonce shocked fans by showing up for the world premiere of Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour at the Grove in mid-October, Taylor Swift was not in attendance for Saturday’s premiere because she is in Brazil and continuing her tour.
The premiere of Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce comes after the latest trailer gave a glimpse of Beyonce reuniting with the former members of her girl group Destiny’s Child.
About 40 seconds into the clip, fans get a brief look at Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland reuniting with Destiny’s Child’s collaborators LaTavis Roberson and LaToya Luckett.
The Single Ladies singer, 42, hugged Roberson while Rowland, 42, hugged Luckett.
Bey and Williams co-founded Destiny’s Child with Roberson and Luckett, with Michelle Williams, 44, later joining the group.
According to the film’s official synopsis, the project “accentuates the journey of RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR, from its inception to its opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to its finale in Kansas City, Missouri.”
