Beyonce showed off her love for her husband Jay-Z and her former bandmate Kelly Rowland by sharing sweet behind-the-scenes snaps of them at the Renaissance film US premiere on Thursday.
The 42-year-old pop icon showed off her platinum hair and sequined dress in the candid snaps, after critics claimed she ‘lightened her skin’ in an attempt to ‘look like a white woman’ in previous snaps from the event.
One adorable pic featured the married couple looking at each other with loving glances as they sat in a movie theater holding popcorn and soda during the screening of the concert documentary.
Another photo had them flashing their megawatt smiles as they exiting the theater while holding hands and throwing up peace signs.
Beyonce, who looked incredible with her platinum hair and sparkling silver gown, leaned her head on Kelly’s shoulder in yet another heartwarming snap.

The rest of the Instagram carousal was filled with pics of Beyonce posing like a supermodel in her movie premiere ensemble.
Shortly after Beyonce’s appearance at Saturday’s Renaissance film debut, online trolls suggested that the hitmaker ‘was white now,’ while others complained that ‘she’s not a Black woman!’ after she appeared to have lighter skin and also wore a platinum blond wig.
The ‘Formation; singer had her fair share of supporters, however, as Nick Cannon defended her after she was accused of trying to resemble Kim Kardashian at the premiere.
‘Kim Kardashian wants to look like Beyoncé,’ he said on his radio program Daily Cannon Show, before adding that Kim, whom he dated in 2006, ‘wishes she looked like that’.
Nick went on to say that Beyonce has ‘looked the same since she was 16’ and called the critics ‘out of their f****** mind’.
Her mom Tina Knowles also stepped into the ring to clap back against her daughter’s vicious critics.
‘I am sick and tired of people attacking her,’ Knowles wrote in a lengthy caption to the video in which she denied commenters’ concerns.
She also compared her daughter’s outfit to styles worn by Black entertainers going back at least as far as Etta James.

‘Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white,’ Knowles began her lengthy caption.
She explained that Beyoncé’s look was solely for her Renaissance documentary, ‘where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?’
‘How sad is it that some of her own people continue the stupid narrative with hate and jealousy,’ she seethed. ‘Duh, she wore silver hair to match her silver dress as a fashion statement clown. ALIEN Superstar duh!’
She accused her daughter’s critics of perpetuating ‘Jealousy and racism, 𝑠e𝑥ism, double standards,’ instead of ‘celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her.’
Among those supporting Knowles in the comments were Insecure star Issa Rae, who cheered: ‘Go off!’

Robin Thede added: ‘LET THEM KNOW!!! The queen has only ever supported Black women and literally dedicates all she does to breaking down barriers for us in every arena!
‘She is a philanthropist, a mentor, a leader and a ground breaker. She is a FASHION ICON and anyone who doesn’t understand that she can use every color in the rainbow to create a look can kick rocks!’ she continued.
‘Do not delete your post! Leave it up so people can remember that you and your daughters are REAL PEOPLE who have done nothing to deserve the nasty things miserable idiots write! I’m sick of it!’
The actress Octavia Spencer also supported her.
‘@mstinaknowles You have raised beautiful, strong, intelligent black, PROUD TO BE BLACK women. Period,’ she wrote in the comments. ‘Anyone who says otherwise has their own issues to deal with. I’m sorry you’ve come across the negative comments that people don’t realize is a reflection of how they feel about themselves.’
Wicked star Cynthia Erivo added: ‘Snaps to all this!!! You have EVERY right to stand behind your baby girl!!! Love you ❤️❤️❤️.’
