Beyoncé channeled Audrey Hepurn's unforgettable Breakfast at Tiffany's character, Holly Golightly, during the photoshoot, wearing a sleek black boat-neck dress, long mesh evening gloves and a classic updo. The former Destiny's Child singer also accentuated her look with the 128.54 Carat Tiffany Diamond, which had been reset into a necklace dazzling with more than 100 carats of white diamonds.

Bey is the first Black woman to ever wear the gem, which was discovered in 1877 in the Kimberley Mines of South Africa and later, purchased by Charles Lewis Tiffany in 1878. Only three other people — including Hepburn and Lady Gaga — have worn the yellow diamond, and this is the first time it's been shown off in a campaign.
