Beyonce Knowles was the picture of elegance as she and husband Jay-Z hosted a fundraising event for Barack Obama in New York City.
Beyonce has posted a photograph on her official website of her and Jay-Z chatting with the President at the lavish bash the couple held to help raise funds for Obama's re-election campaign on Tuesday night.
And help they did. Beyonce and Jay-Z raised $4 million to help ensure they see Barack Obama remains in the White House come the elections in November.
BEYONCE AND JAY-Z RAISE $4 MILLION FOR OBAMA
Dressed in a striking red gown, with her cascading curls swept over in a side parting, Beyonce beamed as Obama nattered away inside the 40/40 nightclub that Jay-Z owns.
As she introduced the President to the 100 well-heeled guests, who had all paid $40,000 for a ticket, Beyonce said: 'I can’t tell you how proud we are to host tonight’s event with President Obama. We believe in his vision.'
