Beyonce is used to dressing in Balmain and Versace, but she has added a Birmingham-based designer to her wardrobe after spending £200,000 on a pair of diamond-encrusted stilettos.

The House of Borgezie Princess Constellation shoes were bought for the singer to wear in her next music video, which is due out in the autumn.

Beyonce also reportedly bought a gold basque belt from the same company for £55,000.

Chris Shellis, owner of House of Borgezie, said he was thrilled the singer had chosen to shop at his store.

“It’s the ultimate,” he said. “Beyonce’s one of those fantasy customers.

“If you want someone to model your creations, you can’t get any better than Beyonce.”

The company was approached by Beyonce’s people months ago after they spotted an article in a US publication mentioning his products.

Shellie said that, to date, only two pairs of the shoes have been sold.
