Shoulder Love
Celebrity Style: Beyonce
Recession aside, there's no stopping the $11,410 Balmain jacket. Beyonce chose to wear the crystal-embellished, drummer-boy stunner to dinner at the Waverly Inn with her hubbie, Jay-Z — they were celebrating their one-year anniversary. She kept the look very Beyonce with tight dark-rinse jeans, sassy sandals, and a chain-handle, black-leather bag.

The stars continue to mingle in sunny LA for the Summer TCAs. Our favorite Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester, gave Pop some perspective on how things have changed over the past year, and we got some profound insight into the fabulous Zac Posen dress she was wearing.
