She's usually the star of the show, but Beyonce went above and beyond on Monday night for her birthday party.

The 35-year-old rang in her big night with a Soul Train themed bash, which attracted some big names - as well as some incredible fancy dress costumes.

Busty Beyonce teased only a glimpse of her retro and racy ensemble, draped in a long coat, as she arrived on the arm of her husband Jay Z, 45, for the New York City party.

The musician wore her hair big, like a throwback to her role in Austin Powers' 1975-themed Goldmember film.

She tipped large, round glasses on the end of her nose, keeping her head down as she let her legs do the talking in fighnet tights.

Beyonce seemed keen to keep the rest of her ensemble under wraps and closed her long coat, which was robed over her shoulders.

Beyonce seriously went for gold at her 35th birthday party this week after choosing a Soul Train theme to mark the occasion.

The star chose a very low cut top in a metallic hue and a coat too, finishing things off with golden heeled sandals.

The heels by Giuseppe Zanotti gave the look serious wow-factor and we couldn't help but lust over the super shiny pair.
