Beyonce with Etta James

[Beyoncé’s] got style for miles. Kicking off New York Fashion Week, Beyoncé looked fabulous in this beautiful banana-colored gown at Friday night’s Fashion Rocks event.

But beautiful B. then proceeded to belt out a stellar version of Etta James’ classic “At Last” to a star-studded crowd—which included Etta James herself. Nice.
