Beyonce is a wonder in white dress with feathered sleeves as she enjoys lunch with Jay-Z in France

Beyonce looked stunning as always as she dined with Jay-Z in France after it was revealed that she donated £8,000 to a struggling Nigerian restaurant in North London.

The 41-year-old megastar looked stunning as always as she and the 53-year-old mogul dined at world-famous restaurant la Colombe d’Or in Saint-Paul-de-Vence.

Beyonce donned a chic off-the-shoulder white number featuring feathered sleeves for the occasion.

The mother-of-three accessorized with a pair of watching white designer shades while carrying along a black and white checkerboard Brandon Blackwood bag.

Her signature blonde locks were worn down in a middle-part as she accentuated her natural looks with complementary make-up contrasted with a swipe of bright red lip.

It was revealed earlier this week that Beyonce has donated £8,000 to a struggling Nigerian restaurant in North London, who were at risk of closure due to rising energy bills.

Chuku’s, a Nigerian tapas restaurant in Tottenham run by brother and sister duo Emeka and Ifeyinwa Frederik, were one of 10 winners to receive a grant by the music superstar, 41, this month.

As part of her incredible Renaissance World Tour, the Halo hitmaker’s foundation BeyGOOD had pledged to donate a share of $1 million (£806,000) to ten businesses in cities around the world.

They included Atlanta, New Orleans, Chicago and London – where Bey (worth an estimated £420 million) took to the stage five times in May and June with gigs at the nearby Tottenham Hotspur stadium.

Though Chuku’s built up an impressive following since opening in 2020, they found themselves facing difficult times after launching during the pandemic including struggling with the cost if rising energy bills.

At the end of last year, the restaurant set themselves a huge challenge to get 600 bookings in six weeks. And impressively, they managed to get a whopping 801.

Emeka and Ifeyinwa found themselves facing a wealth of support from the local community as well A-list celebs and footballers keen to taste Chuku’s unique take on traditional Nigerian food.

And now they’ve been given an extra boost by Beyonce’s foundation, with the grant awarded during the The Black Parade Small Business Impact Luncheon, created by BeyGOOD to ‘celebrate people, communities, and small businesses impacted by economic inequities worldwide’.

The luncheon was held at the Four Seasons in Tower Hill, where 100 entrepreneurs gathered with the chance to bag $100,000 (£806,090) in prizes.

And with over 400 applicants, the win was all the more sweeter for the sibling duo seeing as they were only part of the two per cent of winners on the night.

Chuku co-founder Emeka said of the win: ‘This grant couldn’t be more welcome. Chuku’s, like other restaurants that don’t have a financial reserve, has been battered by lockdowns and the cost of living crisis.

‘Every day, we’re fighting to stay open to make it to our fourth birthday. This money will make that fight a little easier and allow us to continue celebrating Nigerian culture on Tottenham’s High Road for the time being.’

While his sister Ifeyinwa added: ‘I still can’t quite believe that Beyoncé has backed our restaurant – it feels a bit surreal.

‘We’d already felt her impact when she was in town and concertgoers chose Chuku’s for their pre-gig meal, but this is a whole other level.’

On whether she believed the Cuff It singer had ever tasted their food, she told The Times: ‘We never knew [if] anyone came for a takeaway or had the food on the sly. I think it was about what we put in our application.’

Asked what difference the grant has made, added: ‘It helps keep you energised. To receive this award it’s someone saying, “We see you. We recognise your hard work.” This is one of those moments when it’s a fantastic push forward.’

It comes as Bey looked flawless as she performed on stage during her sold-out Hamburg, Germany concert on Wednesday.

The superstar showed off her toned physique in a sexy red outfit with coordinated elbow-length gloves and a flowing red fabric that extended from the top of her head to each of her elbows.

The beauty donned a glamorous makeup palette, accessorized with long dangling silver earrings, and finished the look with red tights and heels with diamond straps.

The Renaissance World Tour is the singer-songwriter’s ninth concert tour supporting her seventh studio album, Renaissance.

Renaissance was one of the biggest summer albums last year after the pop icon released the disco-inspired collection of dance songs.

The concert series kicked off at Friends Arena in Stockholm, Sweden, in May.

A few weeks ago, while performing in Wales, Beyonce was left stunned by her fans as she enlisted the help of her audience to belt out her 2011 track Love On Top, leading to a pitch-perfect rendition of the track, after which the music icon said to the 75k-strong crowd: ‘Give yourself a round of applause.’

During her performance, she played an array of her popular songs such as Formation, Run The World (Girls), Love On Top, and a powerful mash-up of Dangerously In Love, Flaws And All, and 1+1 that electrified the crowd.
