Beyonce dons pencil skirt for Sadie Barnette exhibition

Beyoncé Knowles-Carter slipped her 5ft7in post-baby body into a pencil skirt to check out Sadie Barnette’s art exhibition in Manhattan’s Meatpacking District on Monday evening.

The 36-year-old pop diva – who welcomed twins Rumi and Sir on June 17 – paired her ruched mesh skirt with a sheer pink Henley top and pink velvet pumps selected by her stylist Marni Senofonte.

The 22-time Grammy winner shielded her eyes with large pink sunglasses (at night) and accessorized with numerous gold necklaces including a Yoncé nameplate.

Queen Bey toted a black purse and a mysterious white envelope as her blue-suited bodyguard carried a bag of Hello Kitty cotton candy, which garnishes Barnette’s show.

The Houston-born Texan spent an hour inside the Fort Gansevoort building and Page Six reported that she viewed an installation featuring a glittering purple tribute to Prince.

Beyoncé was close to the late pop legend – who overdosed on Fentanyl at age 57 last year – and she penned a forward to Afshin Shahidi’s Prince: A Private View, which hits shelves October 17.

‘Truth be told, the word “icon” only scratches the surface of what Prince was and what he remains to me,’ the All Night songstress wrote – according to EW.

Sadie’s exhibition is called Compland – combining ‘the California cities of Compton and Oakland’ – and it runs through October 28 at the gallery.

Beyoncé and her husband of nine years, Jay-Z, got a private tour previewing virtually the same show last November at the Oakland Museum of California.

Also on Monday, Knowles-Carter shared an adorable Insta-story of her five-year-old daughter Blue Ivy rocking her $700 Christian Louboutin pink-glittered pumps.
