Beyonce showed how to be an A-list star in Dublin earlier this week, as she started her day with a shopping spree at River Island.

The superstar, 27, took advantage of her time in Dublin by hitting the Grafton Street store armed with her credit card and a team of assistants

The Herald newspaper reported that she bought a €64 black and silver sequined skirt, along with a €74 black and white jumpsuit from the new collection.

Beyonce also bought several additional sequined mini skirts, a number of sequin dresses and a variety of dazzling costume jewellery during her whirlwind shopping spree on Dublin's best known shopping street.

And despite her superstar status, the singer did not display any diva-like behavior during her visit, choosing not to take the lead of other high profile celebs by ringing ahead and having the shop closed for her unexpected trip.

"Beyonce came in for about a half an hour and was accompanied by two bodyguards," said one onlooker, who was in the store at the time.

"She wasn't in the least bit precious and didn't look for any extra attention from the staff because of who she was.

"She was very nice and courteous to the other shoppers who were there at the time and seemed very impressed by the clothes they had.

"Beyonce was saying to her minders that the outfits would be perfect on stage or when she has to make any public appearances and told the staff 'the more glitter and sparkles the better'," they added.
