Beyoncé is ringing in 40 in style.
Last night, the “Crazy in Love” singer took to Instagram to showcase a look she wore while exploring Capri, Italy, with her husband, Jay-Z, to celebrate her birthday. For the pair’s Italian outing, Bey wore a feather-trimmed white button-down shirt by Valentino, high-rise dark-indigo flared jeans, and metallic silver platform sandals by Aquazzura.
Bey styled her hair in lush, voluminous waves and accessorized her look with retro white sunglasses and a bold bright-red lip. But it was her campy, embellished clutch that really caught my eye: Priced at a cool $5,795, the Judith Leiber piece is shaped like a martini glass and covered in crystals.

In her first batch of photos, Beyoncé hilariously cropped out Jay-Z, which commenters were quick to notice. “Why you crop Jay out like that,” one Instagram user wrote, while another quipped, “Jay in the cut 😂.”
The pop star made up for the edit in her next photo dump, which led with a sweet snapshot of her and her husband of 13 years.

In Harper’s BAZAAR‘s September issue, Beyoncé opened up about turning 40 and what that means for her personally and professionally, saying, “My wish is for my 40s to be fun and full of freedom. I want to feel the same freedom I feel on stage every day of my life. I want to explore aspects of myself I haven’t had time to discover and to enjoy my husband and my children. I want to travel without working. I want this next decade to be about celebration, joy, and giving and receiving love. I want to give all the love I have to the people who love me back.”
She continued, “I’ve done so much in 40 years that I just want to enjoy my life. It’s hard going against the grain, but being a small part of some of the overdue shifts happening in the world feels very rewarding. … You can be both elegant and a provocateur. You can be curvy and still be a fashion icon. I wish this freedom for every person.”
