After wrapping up her world tour, the Queen Bey is back to living the good life in New York City

When normal people go to a basketball game, they eat hot dogs and drink beer out of plastic cups. But, as we all know, Beyoncé is not normal.

Just days after wrapping her massive 132-show world tour, the Queen Bey was back home in New York City. On Tuesday night, she and husband Jay Z lounged in their favourite courtside seats as they cheered on the Brooklyn Nets.

Of course, it wasn't just a casual sporting event for the A-list couple, who both made major style statements. Jay rocked a throwback '90s vibe, complete with a patterned shirt and a giant gold medallion. Bey went for a more upscale look, wearing a graphic top, a black blazer and a green straw hat perched atop her wild curls.

But it was her choice in refreshments that really caught our attention. The superstar singer sipped bubbly... out of an actual glass. And in her other hand, she held a lollipop.

We're used to seeing Beyoncé's stunning holiday snaps and fierce fashion photos on her Instagram and Tumblr. But after seeing her enjoying champagne and sweets on the coolest date night ever... we're just a tiny bit jealous.
