Yahoo Sports Beyoncé Changes Mid-Grammys Into Velvet Gown After Getting Stuck in Traffic En Route to Ceremony
One dress wasn't enough for Beyoncé's history-making appearance at the Grammys.
After arriving fashionably late to the ceremony thanks to the Los Angeles traffic in a Gucci metallic gown, the singer, 41, changed mid-awards into a bespoke black velvet gown and matching gloves by Schiaparelli.
Queen Bey posed for a photo in the outfit with her rapper husband Jay-Z, 53, who complemented his wife's style in a classic black tuxedo and bow tie.
The husband and wife are tied for the most-nominated artist of all time at the Grammys with 88 nods each.
Beyoncé's first look consisted of a gown featuring a rose gold bustier and silver metal asymmetric skirt with ruffle detail. She accessorized with glittering 70-carat Lorraine Schwartz diamond drop earrings, black opera gloves and wore her hair in waves.

The musician now holds the record for the most Grammy award wins for an individual at 32 after winning four golden gramophones on the night.
