While Beyonce’s incredible winged dress drew all eyes to it on the MTV VMAs white carpet, it was her jewellery that was the real star of the show.

No wonder her and daughter Blue Ivy were surrounded by so many bodyguards because her accessories alone were worth a whopping 13 million dollars (£10m), according to People magazine.

Designed by jeweller Lorraine Schwartz, Beyonce was decked in a 1.8 million dollar (£1.4m) pair of Colombian emerald and pink diamond earrings, a nine million dollar (£7m) 12 carat pink diamond ring, a 1.5 million dollar (£1m) 20 carat wrap-around diamond ring, and another diamond ring worth 280,000 dollars (£214,000).

She started little Blue off early with the finer things in life as she also wore a Lorraine Schwartz tiara.
