Leave it to Queen Bey to take sparkly dresses to a whole new level. While we’re used to sequins and metallics that add extra shine to our frocks, Beyonce made sure she surpassed the norms by wearing a dress with 140,000 Swarovski crystal embellishments.

The 32-year-old singer performed her new song “XO” on the stage of the BRIT Awards and wowed the crowd with her great vocals and stunning emerald gown. The all-sparkly dress was custom-made by Greek designer Vrettos Vrettakos. According to Bey’s stylist, the special dress had been on hold for over a month and that they were waiting for the perfect time and event to wear it. She also wore a whopping $2 million in Lorraine Schwartz diamond jewelry!
