Singer Beyonce Knowles has been spending up big to add some Perth fashion flavour to her wardrobe. She was spotted at Pasion Latina, Leederville, on Friday, where she bought a cream Martini jumpsuit and a simple T-shirt. Store manager Eve Beumer didn't recognise Knowles until streams of people entered the shop, calling the star's name. But Knowles was safe with two bodyguards, an assistant and her mum to protect her. Mrs Beumer said Knowles looked tired from Thursday night's concert at Burswood but she was "really lovely and really, really humble''. Knowles squeezed in the shopping before leaving Australia to continue her world tour. The same day, Knowles visited Elroy Clothing, in Mt Lawley, and Leederville stores Yo Yo Buffalo and Harry & Gretel. At Harry & Gretel, Knowles bought a Lucette dress, RMK shoes, Pure perfume and a studded leather bag. Store manager Cody Mason said business had picked up since Knowles' visit. "The store was so crowded with people because they were following her from shop to shop and she just seemed really unfazed by it,'' she said. Yo Yo Buffalo sales assistant Rikki-Bree Macgregor said Knowles spent about 15 minutes in the store on Friday and about half an hour the day before, when she bought 16 items. "She didn't try anything on, she knew what her size was,'' she said. Elroy Clothing manager Belinda Fletcher said everyone was "starstruck'' when Knowles came into the store to buy a maxidress, pants and other dresses. "With people you read about in magazines right in front of you, it's a pretty surreal thing,'' she said. When it was time to go, Knowles just had to say the word and transport was ready.

There must be something luring Beyonce to Perth suburb Leederville, as she has again visited a number of shops in the area today. The songstress, who performed at Burswood Dome last night to a packed crowd, has shopped up a storm at clothing store Yo Yo Buffalo this afternoon. According to sources, she was spotted heading to another trendy clothing store Harry and Gretel shortly after. Beyonce was also in Leederville yesterday after grabbing a bite to eat at Julio’s restaurant in Subiaco. Whilst in Leederville she was seen shopping at Atlas clothing and taking in the atmosphere of the alfresco-friendly Oxford St.

One of the world's biggest music stars, Beyonce, enjoyed a bootylicious burger at Leederville's Retro Betty's today and dropped a few hundred dollars on some hot fashion. In Perth and ready to rock the Burswood Dome tonight, there's a fair chance that the singer responsible for such mega hits as Single Ladies and Halo would have ordered the Booty burger from the longstanding Leederville establishment. The burger boasts chicken breast, lettuce, cheese bacon and mayo. Workers at the burger bar said a big entourage arrived in the middle of the lunch hour rush, making recognising the singing sensation in amongst her American posse a little difficult. Beyonce also enjoyed some time shopping on Oxford Street, heading into Atlas and Harry & Gretel clothing stores. Communications consultant Gemma Tognini saw the diva wearing denim hot pants, huge orange platform heels and a hoodie over her head while wandering the strip. "She was strolling around with a bit of an entourage," Ms Tognini said. "I counted three body guards. People were whispering but were a little bit star struck." Ms Tognini used social networking site Twitter to tell friends of her sighting the superstar in Leederville. "Just spoke to Beyonce in Leederville," she Tweeted. "Fact! I thanked her for being so nice to Taylor Swift. "She was wearing a hoodie, hotpants and these orange platform things. Her mamma was with her. Cute!" Ms Tognini said Beyonce had an amazing figure and was extremely beautiful despite trying to hide her face with the hoodie. "Even though she was wearing the hoodie over her head, it's hard to be inconspicuous on a wintry day wearing hot pants," she said. Harry & Gretel manager Cody Mason said Beyonce spent a few hundred dollars on some hot fashion in her store. A pair of big platform purple suede heels, a silk mini-dress and a pretty perfume bottle all took her fancy. "She was lovely," Ms Mason said. "We had a lot of people following her come into the store, but she was really cool."

Under the cover of darkness and in sunglasses, ripped white jeans and with a dark hooded jumper, popstar Beyonce Knowles sidled into Adelaide. It was a stark contrast from the all-empowering diva who dresses for the stage in a crystal corset. Rumoured to have been unwell on the Australian leg of her tour, Knowles made sure her visit to Adelaide was a fleeting one, touching down at the airport just two hours before she was due on stage at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. Shielding her curvaceous form from prying eyes, Knowles stepped into a dark Audi with tinted windows and sped away. She arrived in the chartered flight terminal at James Schofield Drive about 6.45pm and was believed to have been driven directly to the Adelaide Entertainment Centre. If I Were a Boy was welcomed with a loud roar before the over powering bass boomed, shaking not only hearts but the massive screens projecting her performance. Knowles then performed an empassioned snippet of Alanis Morrisette's You Oughtta Know as her hair flowed through the fans beneath her feet like a scene from many of her stunning film clips - leading to believe that Kanye West's childish claims earlier this month were true. Despite the stunning visuals and booming sound, unlike other pop acts such as Pink and Britney Spears - all eyes were on the performer and not the luxurious staging," I am here to empower women" she said before introfucing her all female band before the heartbreaking Me Myself and I.

Making the trip around the world following her VMAs appearance, Beyonce Knowles was spotted out in Sydney, Australia on Saturday (September 19). In the Land Down Under as she continues along with tour duties, the “Irreplaceable” singer was escorted out the back door of Icebergs restaurant following a relaxing meal.

We've heard of wearing your heart on your sleeve, but wearing your hubby on your heart is definitely a new one. Straight from an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Monday, Bootylicious babe Beyonce touched down in Australia yesterday minus her man Jay-Z but with a USA T-shirt brandishing his name. Although the power couple have sworn to never openly discuss their relationship, this diva isn't shy about expressing her love. The song and dance queen boarded a private plane to Australia from New York, just an hour after performing her hit song Single Ladies and receiving the coveted best video of the year prize at the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony on Monday. Beyonce looked rested, rejuvenated and ready for her I Am . . . tour, which kicked off in Melbourne last night, when she stepped off the plane in comfy jeans. The tour, which hits Acer Arena on Friday and Saturday, is the brainchild of both the Crazy In Love hitmaker and fashion designer Thierry Mugler, who came out of retirement to produce Beyonce's worldwide concerts.

The Barclays' official Twitter feed (@thebarclaysgolf) is reporting that hip-hop artists Jay-Z and Beyonce were among the crowd at the 2009 Barclays Golf Tournament at Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City. According to The Barclays Twitter feed, Jay-Z and Beyonce watched golfer Fredrik Jacobson play.

A visit by US R&B diva Beyonce to the Croatian coastal resort of Dubrovnik ended with one of her bodyguards exchanging blows with a local journalist, Croatian media reported on Wednesday. Beyonce was heading to a boat anchored in the medieval port with her rapper husband Jay-Z when the bodyguard kicked a Croatian cameraman, 57, in the back several times, the online edition of the Jutarnji List daily said. Private television station RTL showed images of the incident on Tuesday night including journalists chasing the pop star down Dubrovnik's narrow streets despite her bodyguard's protests. Before getting back on the boat, the bodyguard knocked the journalist's video camera to the ground, and then laid into the man himself, the footage showed. The cameraman then hit the bodyguard in the back with his tripod, who, visibly angry, responded by throwing it in the Adriatic sea. Police said they were investigating the incident.
