As she posed for a string of snaps which she shared with her 8.9 million Instagram followers, Demi wore next to nothing in a black embellished bralet and a black side split skirt.
She pulled her look together with a long black Egyptian robe and a dazzling headpiece, and threw on an array of body jewellery.

“Cleopatra was black…,” one follower wrote, in a comment which quickly amassed 60 ‘likes’.
