In sultry snaps shared to Instagram, the Crazy in Love songstress stared away from the camera, wearing a striking wide-brimmed hat with an armor corset bustier and high-waisted skirt.
In another, she wore a form-fitting dress and matching gold opera gloves while gazing down at the bottle.
Her platinum locks tumbled down to one side of her head as the camera caught her mid-movement.
More saw her holding the perfume in the air against a white spotlight, adding a funky pair of sunglasses to her look.
She simple wrote in her captions: “Love is the only gold,” and: “Sweet like honey.”
Beyonce launched her first fragrance, Heat, in 2010, which became a bestseller and led to multiple spin-offs, including Heat Rush in 2011.
She followed with Pulse the same year and Rise in 2014, inspired by her personal journey and Maya Angelou’s poetry.
After nearly a decade away from fragrances, she returned in 2023 with Cé Noir, a perfume she crafted in France.
Cé Lumière, first dropped in 2024, features notes of black pepper, patchouli, jasmine, and musk, reflecting her evolving artistic vision.
Beyonce’s post came just hours after a woman who accused Jay Z and Diddy of raping her after an MTV party dropped her lawsuit.
Jay Z – real name Shawn Carter – hailed the legal withdrawal as a “victory” after previously blasting the lawsuit as “blackmail”.
The anonymous victim accused the two rappers of raping her at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards in September of 2000.
Documents filed with in New York said the accuser had “volunteraily dismissed” the case “with prejudice” – meaning it cannot be refiled.
It was not immediately clear if the stars had reached a settlement with the woman, who has not been identified.
But 55-year-old billionaire Jay-Z welcomed the closure of the case, which he slammed as “frivolous, fictitious and appalling”.
He said: “This civil suit was without merit and never going anywhere. The fictional tale they created was laughable, if not for the seriousness of the claims.”
“I would not wish this experience on anyone.
“The trauma that my wife, my children, loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed.”
Jay-Z’s attorney, Alex Spiro, emphasised in a separate statement that the case “never should have been brought”.
He said: “By standing up in the face of heinous and false allegations, Jay has done what few can – he pushed back, he never settled, he never paid one red penny, he triumphed and cleared his name.”
The complaint said Combs and Carter took turns assaulting the plaintiff as another celebrity stood by and watched.
“Many others were present at the after party, but did nothing to stop the assault,” it went on.
“Carter has been with Combs during many such instances described herein. Both perpetrators must face justice.”
